[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard it reported on the radio that his dad is in the Kansas State Legislature. Can you say "lawsuit"![/quote]

It was elected official day at the park, elected officials were allowed in the park at no cost. Why does this translate into a lawsuit?[/quote]

Please--there will probably be a lawsuit b/c a kid died a horrible death regardless of parents' professions.[/quote]

Not much good in Kansas.  They have a $250,000 cap on non-economic damages.

The slide was built in Kansas because Kansas is the only state that didn't have regulations to prohibit it.

I know it's wrong, because a child just died, [b]but I wonder how the father feels about tort reform[/b] and deregulation of industry now?[/quote]

Yes, it's wrong, you creep.[/quote]

Call it creepy, but there's one political party hellbent on dismantling regulations and this is precisely the sort of tragedy they're meant to prevent.[/quote]

Nothing will bring his child back and I doubt very much this father will be thinking about tort reform now or in the future.  He'll probably be re-living the nightmare of losing his child.

Instead of focusing on after-the-fact, why not think about making these rides safer?  That stupid netting is not for the safety of people but to keep cell phones from flying out.  It's the same as what was above the wild dog habitat where that fell in and died.

Also, it's kind of insane that high school and college kids are basically allowed to guesstimate the weight of a raft.  It's like Russian roulette with safety.[/quote]

where have you seen that they guesstimate? I have read multiple places that they weigh people twice. [/quote]
