If they pass a law saying that you sled at your own risk that's one thing. Passing a law against all sledding on public property, that's stupid.
I blame the judge, lawyer, and jury who apparently thought this man had a case.
On the other hand, if the hill was designated for sledding (as we have a few hills that the city maintains here) and if the ditch was directly at the bottom of the hill and not maintained and buried in snow so that it wasn't visible - well I might not be so hard on blaming the judge and jury.
I mean if you can blame this city for something like this - man hubby coulda gotten a ton of money from our town for not maintaining the shoulder of the road. The lip between the macadam and the gravel was a couple inches and going off that in a bike - well. He had human error and wasn't stupid enough to go and put the blame anywhere other than - its an ACCIDENT: Accidents happen.
