So now what, will this become a safety standard of the industry that
props should have guards?

The blame is partly with the insurance industry. They have frequently
taken the short sighted view that it is cheaper to settle some of
these claims than it is to fight them. That's probably true for any
one case but the long term effect is to set expensive precedents.


Yep. But also begets higher rates and more profit.

Mystifies me how they could lose this case. Even dumb as nails jury can't
be this stupid.

Brunswick shoul counter sue the driver and the swimer. Make their lives
hell.

And now, straight from Rush/Beck's sitcom, we have nucknuck who doesn't like
the jury system.


I think competance has something to do with it. Minimum reading skills,
college or university...

Would not want to be a innocent defendant facing a jury that could only
think of fried chicken and your skin color (either way).
