Zip lines, BSA and Lawsuits

Posted: May 20, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Zip Line |2 Comments

A 44 year old man took his children to a BSA Scout-O-Rama. At the event, he was the first adult to try the Zip Line. According to the complaint, instead of being attached to a metal ring, he was attached to a nylon thread that failed when he jumped off the tower.

He fell 25 feet suffering severe injuries. He is suing the Boy Scouts for his injuries.

    The victim is a former Eagle Scout…I guess they don't teach common sense and personal responsibility.

    i read the article and it sounds like the man was seriously injured a coma, remove parts of his bowels 10 day in the hospital.
    It read like the man was secured to the nylon webbing as opposed to the belay loop?
