Yes astronomy is dangerous. A stargazer in Taiwan fell from the top of a house twice when he was gazing stars. Some amateurs in Hong Kong dropped their notebook computer, or even mirrors of Newtonian telescopes accidentally from windows. Luckily no death caused.

Some astronomers die of being pressed by massive telescopes or closing dome.

Now I know why my parents wouldn't give me the telescope I wanted for my 7th birthday ... although I did convince them by my 8th. They also made me ride my bike with a big dorky flag, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were worried that the telescope would actually fall on me ... they are so funny.

Thanks for making this picture Creative Commons! I just posted a bunch of these funny signs at Funny Signs at Say No to Crack.
