So now what, will this become a safety standard of the industry
that
props should have guards?
A guy jumped in the water behind a boat with a running motor.
The
driver of the boat puts the boat in reverse, and hits the guy
with
the
prop.
The boat manufacturer has to pay.
That's so screwed up it's almost unbelievable. Almost.
Hmm... so a simple device, known to prevent such accidents is
intentionally
not used, someone is maimed, but the boat manufacturer has no
liability? I
guess a jury disagreed. I guess that's communism run amok.
Does not mater. The husband basically ran this wench over:

Not sure if it is the same case as the dallas link is broken. But
what
a darwin move. Even if it had a guard, you are so darwinian stupid
to
do this as a captain or as a swimmer.
100% captians fault. And judge should just say so and let OMC sue
the
**** out of him for recovery costs. Take their home even and even
go
for the plaintifs lawyer for taking such a stupid case.

Liberal-statism is an addiction to other peoples money.
"The jury found Brunswick 66 percent liable for the injury, with
Brochtrup and the boat's driver responsible for the rest. Because
the
driver was not part of the lawsuit, he will not have to pay. "
So the pilot was at fault by 33 % but seeing he's not in the suit,
be
doesnt' have to pay.
uh-huh...
How much do you think the owners/operators of the mine that killed 29
this week should have to pay in damages to the families of the dead?
How much should the mine workers union pay the families for not
protecting the workers?
I believe it was a non-union mine.

They should have stopped the mine from working then.
They?? Who's they? Do you understand the concept of non-union? No. Are
you
an idiot? Yes.
I contemplated that response of Bilious Bill's for a minute or so, and
then burst into laughter. It ranks among the most moronic posts ever made
here.

It's always "they" - it's never "I" when it comes to these bozos. "They" are
out to get me. "They" are evil. "They" should do something.
