Michael Burke is building a working dive suit based on the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON monster. Don't take out a loan to buy the thing just yet, though. He explains, in an interview with Gores Truly, that there are a number of legal obstacles to be cleared before such a suit could be made available to the public. Honestly, unless he was marketing this thing strictly as a drowning aid, it's unlikely he'll ever be allowed to sell such a contraption.
"I doubt anyone would sell me a product liability insurance policy for this." Burke says. "The reality is, this suit will increase the risk of injury to anyone using it while scuba diving. All the waivers and training in the world couldn’t protect me from being sued for damages if someone is injured or killed. Right now I am primarily building this for me (Personal use) and display at the shop."
Still, bully for him for taking up such an endeavor. This is truly next-level cosplay.
