I always thought (kids don't try this at home), if you accidentally lodged a
small bag, or piece of a bag in your throat, your air supply would not be
completely restricted. I think that the bursting baggies, and rip-stopping
may be an beneficial side effect to the safety consideration. Who knows
though?
A side note... I have heard that babies don't have to even swallow a bag to
choke; they can just fall on it and inhaling seals the bag around the mouth,
and exhaling just lets the air out. this would be prevented by the holes
too.

| I haven't heard this possible explanation before... What's the aspect of producing LEGO sets that has the potential of being the more labor-intensive? It's the manual sorting of pieces -- that's why TLG spends a lot of money on expensive equipment (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.general)
