The plaintiff argues the defendant also failed to warn her of the dangerous condition presented by the park bench and that she could not have discovered or protected herself against that danger.


Now we're going to need warning signs on every bench everywhere.

"Warning, do NOT sit on this bench if you are pregnant, have had recent surgery, illness, back/neck problems, high blood pressure, are under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

For your safety, you should be in good health to sit. Only you know your physical conditions or limitations. If you suspect your health could be at risk for any reason, or you could agravate a pre-existing condition of any kind, DO NOT SIT!" :lolr:

Well considering what state we're talking about, I'm not surprised the bench gave way.

I'm going to guess the woman was overweight, leaned back on the bench, and thus caused the bench to fail. Like stated earlier, the only way this woman will have a case is if there is proof that the park management failed to maintain the benches, but her excuse that the park management should have told her the bench's condition is idiotic.


Here is the plaintiff:

^^ If that's really her, then why didn't she just sit on her scooter? That way, two spaces would have been available for others to sit on the bench.

No...make that three. She'd need a place to set down her food down.

Seriously, I shouldn't judge someone I don't know, but from the picture, she does not look like a pleasant person and has "trouble" written all over her face.

^ That's not her. Robb posted that picture in the Speed thread.

Is the economy really that bad to where your willing to make yourself look and sound like a complete idiot just to try to get money?

^, ^^ , the photo is from the second Where in the World are Robb and Elissa thread.


Sadly, lawsuits like these seem unavoidable in today's economy as people need/want money, so they turn to lawsuits because of their stupidity(not that lawsuits before this weren't pointless).

While there is the slight possibility that it was the park's fault, it is most likely that much of the blame is with the woman. There might have been a loose screw, but I'm sure it was the woman leaning back on the bench which caused it to fail.

"If that's really her..."

Hence the word "if" in my post. We tech writers like to use conditional terms...

Anyway, chances are this thing will be thrown out unless somehow proof can be found that the bench did pose a hazard because part of it was loose and/or missing.

Hmm, sounds like they need to work a few more kinks out of Bench: The Ride before they mass-produce it for other parks.
