It is interesting and I see the defense making a strong enough case to prove that the victim was experienced enough to make his own choices about climbing, especially about his knot.michaelarmand wrote:Wow...very interesting read. I am amazed the grandy jury indicted for murder. It seems to me the actual cause of death was the victims failure to tie in properly. I could maybe see a criminally negligent homicide charge....

Yea your opinion is yours to have, and it sounds awfully fake, however it was posted merely as an interesting read. so maybe by you posting that its a stupid story, perhaps you'll meet someone on this site and you can both meet up and chat about other stupid things together....

What a piece of crap read:
Stupid stoner belays with a potato...Ward was on belay at the time. Or so he thought. Upon seeing him fall, belayer and climb leader, Justin Morgan, tensioned the rope in his tuber.

that's what i like to call bullshit. if you were a hired professional guide then yes, that would be the case. other wise it is assumption of risk. climbing is dangerous, everyone knows you could die, end of story._Rasputin wrote:The moral of this story (real or fiction):
If you take a gumby climbing you are totally responsible for their safety, and the more irresponsible your actions are as a leader, the more responsible you will ultimately be held if there is an accident.
yes, super lame story by the way, and totally fictitious.

If you take a gumby climbing and fail to verify that he/she can tie a proper climbing knot and attach it to a harness then you should be liable, maybe not murder but at least negligent homocide.
