Ok, so then anyone whose stupid kid hangs himself should be able to sue the rope manufacturer?

Maybe someone should sue God, for all this damned gravity.

NOTE: Yes, I know this is sort of political, but it's sort of OTHER, as well.

I wish this was the only example of people acting like morons then trying to get paid for it. I've almost become immune to idiots like this.

Wait, so the kid just decided to jump off a 6 story building and then sues the building? That's awesome.

Isnt there some sort of underground sport that does this not called garage jumping, I think one of the best people in the world at it was on a nike or other sports manufacturer advert. I think it started in France.

Um...I don't know if they would do something like this. It's called Free running or Le Parkour. They actually train to do that though by learning how to fall. Google for Le Parkour and you can find some amazing videos. I've seen a guy backflip off what must have been at least a 20 ft. high structure. The secret is they all tuck and roll as they land so there's virtually no impact on their bones. Just watch some videos, some of these guys are amazing.

It's a French sport. I wonder how we could convince a few more Frenchies to take this up? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Your right, Le Parkour, the sport that originally started in France also known as "free running".

Like most kids they have probably seen the videos or commercials that feature the sport and how easy it seems to look. Instead of starting off with basic moves or gaps they went out and decided to hurl themselves off the first big gap they could find.

This causes people to get seriously injured or killed.
