And car manufacturers are legally responsible for 40000 deaths every year? They'd soon be out of business if so. I can't believe that lending your neighbour a piece of equipment in good working order would make you responsible for injury. If you knew it was damaged, however, and did not make your neighbour aware of this fact, then yes, you most likely would be liable.
