There is potential for damage, death, or injury should flight be attempted with Bird Spikes still attached to the aircraft. It is impossible to predict all the ways damage, death, or injury could occur using Bird Spikes or if the engine is started or flight is attempted without removal of Bird Spikes. There is a potential for injury when handling or mounting Bird Spikes. Use at your own risk.
