Garage Jumping and Personal Responsibility

Posted by Eric at 12:53 pm. Filed under: General

Drudge has linked to this “dangerous new trend” called Garage Jumping. Kids are jumping between parking garages 80 feet up for the thrill of it. One kid didn’t make it across, fell, and miraculously didn’t die. Now, check out this paragraph:

D’Assaro [the attorney of the family of the boy who didn’t make it] is filing a lawsuit against the city of Orlando and the private garage owner for making little effort to correct a potential deadly risk.

“There was a very, very short length of fence that was completely ineffective in preventing this from happening,” D’Assaro said.

Once again we must ask, where is the personal responsibility? Next we’re going to have to have fences on every road with tunnels under them so no one is able to jump out in front of a bus. Or only be able to buy luke warm coffee at McDonalds so no one can burn themselves… oh, wait… nevermind.
