By "heat", I would assume that they're referring to what it might get
sitting on a steam radiator in your house, or on the dash of your

That's the thing -- the exact wording is "direct or indirect heat" --
which I take to mean sunlight as well, and UV exposure in particular.

Just seems an astounding fine-print, if I'm reading this correctly! I
mean, we're talking about the most critical piece of safety equipment
for an activity that generally takes place at daytime in summer....

Uh, no...."the most critical piece of safety equipment" sits behind
your eyes and between your ears. Always take it with you, wherever you
go, whatever you do.
