<p>Here is a link to several definitions of <em>attractive nuisance</em>. </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/attractive-nuisance">http://www.answers.com/topic/attractive-nuisance</a></p><p> </p>It does make the point that the principle is mostly applied to children, however, I don't know if there is a clearly drawn line for that stipulation. So it is not clear if attractive nuisance could be applied to the 20-year-old woman in this case. However, I would think that almost any railroad trestle would qualify as an attractive nuisance, especially the one in this case with its soaring height, attractive views, handy re-assuring walkway, declining number of trains, and rural location which makes anti-trespass relatively difficult to enforce. Then add one impressive rope swing to that heady mix, and you have what surly must be an attractive nuisance. Even the river itself, with its substantial current, adds its own considerable danger to the mix.
