[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't blame the parents but I hate all the people blaming the restaurant too. How long has it been operating without incident? Sometimes shitty things just happen. There isn't always someone to blame. Nevertheless I'm sure the poor restaurant will have to pay.[/quote]

Their insurance will pay, and they will need to do something so it doesn't happen again. Not blaming the parents, but a child needs to stay seated and remain seated in a restaurant. Put them a a booster seat strapped in.[/quote]

When the appeal of a restaurant is the view, a child walking up to the glass windows to look out is totally appropriate.

I generally agree that kids should stay seated in restaurants, but [b]there's a difference between walking through an almost empty restaurant to look out a window[/b], and running around wildly in a crowded situation.

I think the accident is no one's "fault".  I also think that the restaurant designers and owners were responsible for designing the restaurant in a way that crush injuries weren't possible.  If it's found that a faulty design, or a poorly designed or maintained stopping mechanism contributed, then I think it's appropriate for the restaurant and/or the design firm to pay.  Those kinds of lawsuits are what provides the incentive for corporations to prioritize safety.  [/quote]

The restaurant rotates - there's no need to walk around an look outside the windows.

There is no perfect design - life is inherently dangerous. But it requires people to exercise basic due diligence - in this case, the caretakers of a young child to take care of their young child. It doesn't exactly look like a "family friendly" or kid friendly restaurant. [/quote]
