I seen a picture on the web one day of a 15 gal tank that had one
goldfish in it, that tipped over on those wroughy iron stands when a
2 or 3 year old girl climbed up on it and grabbed ahold of the tanks
top edge. It just about cut off her arm and face, and the write up
said she required over 150 stiches by a plastic surgeon on her face
alone. She also had broken ribs and a broke wrist IIRC, and had
numerous other cuts on her chest and arms that required stitches. They
had a picture of her also holding a stuffed animal and needless to say
she is gonna be disfigured for life as she was cut realy bad.

Electricity,

I'll second this one. I've been zapped twice in 6 weeks.

I do have a ground fault interrupt circuit installed now and avoid puddles
around the tank.

I once knew someone who had an all glass 55gal on one of those metal
stands tip over on top of his 2 year old daughter.

Not a good thing. I think it took out a few ribs, collapsed one of her
lungs, gave her a nasty concussion...
