Default Re: Mishap with Drag car at a Parade

Death toll now at 7 people, including some kids. We can rail on lawyers all we want, but this shows you can't always count on "common sense" prevailing, even among thoughtful, well intentioned people.

That said, I don't believe you can legislate around human stupidity and save everyone from themselves, either. Hopefully our system results in a reasonable balance, even if some individual cases seem unfair.
