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.

What a darwin.

Yes, unbelievable. Just like McDonalds hot coffee and minivan windows
at 55mph collisions....

Everyone elses fault. Somebody else must pay for the darwins stupidity.
Give me a break, why are these suits not just tossed out of court with
prejudice?

Makes me wonder in the total cost of a boat, how much of it is in legal,
insurance and taxes. Next time we buy one, might have to sign 25 sheets
of disclamer.

"If your are stupid enough to stick you body into the propeller, or if
your are inept captian, you will find no fault with our product and you
cannot sue us. If you try to sue us, we reserve the right for total
compensation for your frivious studpidity. If you do not agree, you are
not authorized to use our product as you are too stupid."

I wonder how much cheaper that would make boats and motors?

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.

A president and his vice president lie about WMDs, and tens of thousands
of people paid the price with their lives and pocketbooks.

That's so screwed up it is unbelievable.

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.

"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

Hopefully they appeal it. In fact, maybe ask why the driver of the boat
was not chargesd with negligence causing bodily harm? Go right to the
surpreme court! Pretty obvious the darwins were at work here too and
that this is a money grab.

How dumb to put guards on props, even then how can they stop a darwin
from shreding themselves? Just a piece of crap to go wrong and cause
trouble, certainly would drop mileage.

Gee, next they will sue GE for stove tops and Kleenex because their
fingers slipped through to their ass.
