Hi,
I'm a member who hasn't posted anything for something like a year, although i have been lurking for most of that time.
Anyway, I dont live in America (i'm an Aussie), and I cant really see how people can be successful in sueing in such cases as these. No offence intended to Americans, but howcome your judiciary system lets this sort of thing happen.
I remember a while ago how someone swimming at a beach in Perth, Western Australia broke his neck and became a paraplegic from diving into shallow water. He tried to sue the local council but failed.
