    had a recorded internal temperature of 109.8F

    This guy was almost 110 and they were trying to pour water on him to cool him.

    Your can have seizures at 105 and 108 is permanent brain damage territory.

    What they need to do is sue for $100M not $1M.

    A few headlines of companies suffering big financial losses can convince companies to do the right thing more than some law with a $10k fine. Companies will always do what is less cost/risk. You have to make the cost/risk of employee deaths more.
