[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by DrummingTrainfan</i> <br /><br />I think that if a person is TRESSPASSING on RR property they should be held responsible if they're hit, whether the horn is sounded or not. [sigh] It would be like if someone tresspasses into a mine-field that has plenty of signs and then suing the military because no horns or buzzers went off when they were about to step on that land mine... <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />FWIW, I couldn't agree with you more. <br /> <br />Seems pretty cut and dried to me, we aren't supposed to be there (on the tracks) but when we go there anyway, we (should) adopt the ultimate responsibility for our own well being. After all, it is our decision to be there, just as it should be our decision to leave. <br /> <br />The fact that some people seem to think they have the right to go there, and make it someone else's fault for anything that goes wrong, just seems absurd to me. <br /> <br />But, absurd is the way of the world, more often than not. <br /> <br />SO often in these cases, the fact of any actual wrong doing is immaterial. <br /> <br />All that matters is the attorney's ability to convince 12 morons that someone has suffered. <br /> <br />I've got some friends that still believe that "reality TV" is not scripted. So what can you expect?
