Oh, I missed that. I thought it was the parents initiating the lawsuit.
The important thing is that it's not the jumpers that are taking legal action. Sure it was a stupid risk, they knew that and took it anyway. That's their call. Protecting against accidents is reasonable, but it's impossible to protect people from themselves when they make a conscious decision to do something dangerous. No one should be obligated to try to do so either, unless those actions endager others (and I don't think there was a reasonable risk of that, in this case).
