Assistant Scoutmaster Suing for tree falling on his tent.

Posted: March 8, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized |Leave a comment

If you are tall standing in the woods and eventually die, you fall down. Don’t you think that is expected? 

A man is suing the Boy Scouts of America for the loss of a leg after a tree fell on him while he was sleeping. That is terrible, no doubt.

However, I am amazed at the number of suits about trees falling now days. Trees and branches have been falling forever. Jack London wrote about trees falling in 1903, and I’m sure other authors have done so earlier.

This is the third suit I’ve found recently about trees falling in the woods, and it is up there with lawsuits about bears and moose. At what point do people realize they are leaving the city and going into the country? The country is different than the city. The city was built by man, and the wilderness was not. Sue the builder!

The article says the rescue of the man was difficult. What do you expect he’s at a camp in a tent in the woods? It’s not called camping if you can drive up to the spot in a car….. Well maybe some people call that camping.

At what point are we going to take kids camping in a park and then eventually in buildings because it is too dangerous outside. Trees may fall down!

For other suits about trees falling see:
If a tree falls in the woods, is there someone around to start a lawsuit?
As soon as someone appoints me God, then and only then, will I be responsible for the trees around the lake.
