"Garage jumping is a dangerous new trend" -- trend - 4: the popular taste at a given time...I found this in the dictionary.
What...is this cool!? I am not that old but what the fuck!?!
And they are going to sue....shit...my old man would have grabbed me by the ear and dragged me to the garage manager...made me apologize and say I was lucky to be alive.
Funny thing is, is that I am not surprised anymore by 1) the kid's action...I mean a few years ago kids thought it was cool to lie on the median of the road. 2) his luck in surviving...people get lucky all the time. 3) his parent's intent to sue...someone got million or so because he spilt some friggin' hot coffee.
I read recently an article about no-fault malpractice insurance or something in Sweden where you can't sue for punitive damages and get only so much depending on a scale of severity etc. They should do something similiar in the States for stupid acts such as this. Just my 2 cents worth.
