A 50 year old ignorant woman approached me and my team earlier this year about a guy in Washington who is paralyzed and her brother is the lawyer on his side or something
The story goes that he was supposedly not in a marked terrain park area and hit an unmarked jump and became a quadropoledic (spelling?) and she began to argue that park shapers have absolutely no clue what they are doing. That the resorts "Hire some random guy with no training" to shape the jumps. and that all these calculations etc go in to the jumps, they dont just bum around on tractors and make random shit.
Of course, we all got heated and argued with her that all this physics and whatnot go in to jump making and that he must have been oblivious to his surroundings but she continued that it was the parks fault.
When I brought up the argument of the woman who sued McDonalds because the coffee spilled on her cuz she was driving with it between her legs, she said it was McDonalds fault because the woman was a 90 year old woman....
people are ridiculous and it pisses me off that no one can take accountability for their actions, it is always someone elses fault. And the fact that this kid wasn't wearing a helmet... he's an idiot.
Exactly. Like we were telling her, everything says that like all injuries are your fault, there are signs in the lift line, on your pass, in the terrain park saying the resort is not responsible for all physical injuries. they practically say "you could die today"
And what is more ridiculous is that some people who make these cases for monetary compensation for their own stupidity, some of them actually win. They are always searching for loopholes, maybe they should spend that time trying to prevent their ignorance and stupidity in the first place.
legislators... after the election
