Bet these fucking idiots are going to start suing the garages for falling and not having safty nets. Note at the bottom of the article that of 15000 people that were polled 97% believed the jumpers were totally at fault. I'm in agreeance.
Jesus man, we're half a step away from jumping off cliffs like lemmings now.
How do you NOT die from that?
Anyway, methinks some folks have seen Spiderman the movie just a wee bit too many times.

Spiderman himself probably had something to do with it. Remember Family Guy, when Peter disguised himself as a teenage hipster named Lando Griffon, and was "sneaking out" of his own house, fell, and was saved by a net of web?
"Gee, thanks Spiderman!"
"Everbody gets one."

Haha, I remember that. That was one of the only episodes I ever saw.
"The landowner knows that people are jumping," Andrews said. "The landowner knows there is a potential for people to fall. They have a duty to prevent that."
Does he fucking KNOW how retarded he sounds?
"An online poll conducted by Local6.com found 97 percent, or 15,000 viewers believe the garage jumpers are responsible for their own injuries."
No. Shit. Sherlock.
Ooh, I hope none of the other countries find this article. We'll never hear the end of it -_-

Unless the parking garage was on fire I'm not buying it.

The parking garages sit just about a foot and a half apart from each other. For some it might seem like an easy jump.
A freaking FOOT AND A HALF.
Idiots.
No, Really. Bite me.

Norstein said she there were no signs warning about the danger, and there was only a partial fence. There was nothing to stop someone from taking a dangerous dive.

This is a strange and fascinating new use of the word victim.

I am reminded of the fire escape only doors where I work. They all have huge red stop signs everywhere saying "STOP! Pushing this door will sound off an alarm!"
How many times a day do people set it off?
At least three.
Let's just let them fall.

And: I think "victim" has somehow become synonymous with "dumbass" in a lot of modern media coverage.
quote:It's a result of attachment to the word 'innocent'. Innocent until proven guilty. Innocent victim. Victim until proven guilty. While this is not logically correct (A > B, A > C, therefore B > C), there's still an association. Too bad there's no association of equal visibility between 'guilty' and 'dumbass'.
Roll the dice to see if Gunslinger Moogle is getting drunk!
