yes.

 

That is freakin' brilliant... why didn't I think of that one of the many times I was leaning on a 19mm nut attached to a strut?

 

nKoan fix your damn software!

Man wins $102,000, casino cries malfunction

 

So, wait. The machine was designed not to let anyone hit the jackpot. It did, so that's the malfunction they're calling? Seems like I wouldn't be going to that casino anymore knowing that, hopefully it costs them their business. Sheisty bastards.

 

I'm surprised they'd even admit that it was designed not to ever hit a jackpot...then they give the guy 2 free buffet coupons in place of the $100k. I'd sue their asses.

 

Well, its somewhat both, but mainly the stations. The station should have made it completely clear that there was a risk of water intoxication or other health risks or the information should have been made readily availabe to the people playing in the contest (which it didn't sound like it). The husband is probably looking to compensate for lost wages because of his wife's death, she might have been a contributor to her families income and the result of her death has put a financial hardship upon the family. Personally, the reason I don't believe its her fault is because she only went into the contest on the conditions of what the station had told her of the contest prior to the start of, which probably didn't make the risks very apparent. The typical person can't assume all the risks in the situation, it was the stations responsibility to have researched all the health and safety aspects before undertaking the contest, and not the contestants. At least that's my standpoint, which comes from the industry that I work in which is heavily health and safety oriented. In my job you have to identify EVERY potential risk before you go on the jobsite, and that includes liability for errant parties that might wonder onto your jobsite and hurt themselves on your equipment. You are ALWAYS liable, even for stupid idiots, and that's what the radio station should have thought of.

 

Classic, I love it.
+1 for George.
You fail to see the third cup, my chalice. 3 cups =/ an anniversary...



to the thread title.

 

omg that is awesome!!! hahahaha

 

Not the stations fault.

What if they had a contest that said anyone that shows up to the station wins and some fool gets run over by a car when they cross the street? Some responsibility has to rest on the contestants. We should outlaw water instead.


New political agenda.....Fighting the war against poisonous water.

 

she was an idiot...

{insert picture of arnold saying "YOU OUT OF THE GENE POOL!"}

THE USA needs to STOP allowing retards to live longer. its stupid, if you make dumb mistakes, and do stupid **** that will most likely get you killed... the family should not have the ability to sue.

she was an idiot, thought her life was worth less than a video game system. and voided out her life because of it.... w/e
bye bye smarty

i vote we go back to Oregon's policy on not so smart people..... castration

 

WOW, you got some issues dude.

 

not so much.... 'dude'

if someone wants to be an idiot, they(them or their family) should give up all rights to cry about that person's actions causing their death.

case in point.... street racers, murderers, etc etc etc

 

I think street racers and muderers are a different issue. I doubt she understood what she was getting into or even what water intoxication was, hence the fact that she drank too much water and died from it. Its not like she knew that it was going to happen, if she knew the risks (which I am sure she did not), and she did it anyways, then yeah, she's a ****ing idiot and the husband has no right to seek compensation, but that isn't the case here from the facts that I've read about.
