Subject: RE: BS: Should people pay for their own risks ?
Let us look at this case guys. This guy is a television presenter. Did someone explain to him that doing this stunt could result in? and it was nothing more than a stunt.Was he told,You have a wife and kids, you could be killed or seriously injured.

A medical team could be working to save someones life, and have to decide if a second team is available or do they work between two cases ? Would smartass still have got into that car to boost his ego ? My brother in law is a diver by profession, he is also part of a underwater rescue team. When he took out a joint life insurance policy he came under the section "dangerous activities and pastimes" He pays through the nose to help other people.

There is a clear line between what this guy did and your everyday RTA. If a guy breaks your living room window with a bottle, the court makes him pay for the damage. If someone reverses into your car you expect him to pay for it. There is a price on everything in life and just because this stunt involved a face from television who was being a total p..t, too many people are looking on it as an accident. It was an accident planned and waiting to happen.
