Brilliant line from this article:
"Counsel for Mr and Mrs Perry said Mr Harris should have ensured his son, who has Asperger syndrome, did not go anywhere near the inflatable."
What a ridiculous idea. Pfft...

precisely: since when is it someone else's job to be responsible for your kids' safety*? fucking idiots. ::)
*apart from when there's a duty of care involved, not just a bloody neighbour.

I am always afraid of stuff like this you can sue anyone for anything it's even worse in the USA. Makes you want to have everyone sign disclaimers before yu do anything with them.
I did fin this quote amusing though "He gave the Perrys permission to appeal because of the ruling's "potential significance" to anyone operating inflatable equipment." inflatable equipment :eyebrows:

My question is of what relevance was it that Sam Harris had AS, and what should have caused his father, Mr. Harris, to keep him away from it? He was inside the bouncy castle doing nothing wrong when a 15 year old turned a flip and kicked him in the head hard enough to break his skull and this caused a traumatic injury to his brain.

I think they probably sued because the people had insurance, it wasnt like any major harm would be done by it. What I really take issue with is the way that the defendents lawyers trying to argue that Aspies should be supervised, and also the way the BBC has left that POV pretty much unchallenged in their article.

Did you hear about that court case a while back, which if the plantiff had won, would have required every US hotel swimming pool to put a sign up saying "please do not insert your penis into the swimming pool vacuum pump". Brilliant..
-
Reading this, I am pissed off about the light in Aspergus Syndrome was potrayed.
Come'on, why is AS going to put you in danger on a bouncy castle ???
I don't if anyone heard the main BBC article, but apparently, the older where summersaulting (not sure if I spelt that right) on the castle. Forget the AS, if the older kids where doing things like that, wasn't it rather begging for an accident?
You know, this is typical attitude that some people have to Autism generally that really pisses me off! Treating as some kind of fucked up in the head people, well I am sorry, we are not.

Oh pump me :zoinks:
People are bizarre.
If he didn't have AS they would have sued anyway. Having a trampoline in your yard is enough to get your insurance dropped.

The aspie should have been locked in, obviously. ::)

I dont think the guy made that mistake again, half of the local firefighting precinct arrived to get him out/ laugh at him.

In the UK we havent gotten like that. Yet.

Never in my most desperate days would I consider using one of those! Rosie Palm and her five sisters were always there and gracious in their administration to my needs. :laugh:

The way the article was worded, somebody probably now thinks people can get Asperger's from a kick in the head. (Go forth into the world, and kick everyone in the head. >:D )
So Aspies shouldn't be allowed in bouncey castles, they say? So much for the idea of a massive I2 meetup at which we rent a bouncey castle for an orgy.
-
Wouldn't the boncy castle complicate it a bit?
-
More bounce for the ounce! ;)

Exactly! It was the 15 year old somersaulting inside crowded bouncy castle that caused the accident to happen and the fact that Sam Harris has AS had nothing whatsoever to do with it. I do think that the children should have been better supervised.
When I followed the link, I followed other links to find out more information. I'm not sure if I actually read the main BBC article or not.

I bet they weren't limiting the number of kids in there at a time, letting so many in there at once that it was inevitable that somebody would get kicked.

:agreed:
My daughter attended a birthday party when she was in kindergarten that had a bouncy house, and the people who brought it limited the number of children who could bounce inside it at one time, which made a lot more sense than just letting a lot of rowdy big kids crowd in with the smaller kids.
I think that the birthday party where Sam Harris was hurt was for eleven year old triplets, he was eleven years old at the time, and it was a fifteen year old turning somersaults who caused the injury to him.
