Book Description

Conductive Electronic Weapons and their faults is a book based on a Human Factors research project on the problems of using stun guns on commercial aircraft. The Robert Dziekanski incident happened at the Vancouver International Airport, and those findings were integrated into the research project. The author submitted all the results to the Braidwood Inquiry. The testimonies and other information revealed during the inquiry required multiple updates for unanswered questions and accusations to be addressed. The Braidwood Inquiry is not the only legal entity to find that the stun gun can cause death, it is the first where Taser International has not been able to change the final decision with legal action. The book centers around the authors submitted information to the inquiry, and has reached a new detailed hypothesis on how stun guns can cause death within seconds to days after a discharge. It also explains how the guns basic design can become faulty and output repeated arc phase levels of power.
