the point isn't how the oversight was brought to the public attention, the point is that the oversight had been made. it's funny how people think liability on one's own property shifts depending upon the behavior of the injured. as I've stated, were it a small child who'd wandered off the edge unintentionally, everyone would be asking "Why weren't precautions taken to prevent this? These damn irresponsible owners...." Regardless of the actions of the kids involved, the garage owners (city of Orlando and the company that owned the other garage) should have already taken
reasonable precautions. Is it that ludicrous to think "Hey, there's an 80 foot drop here, maybe we should keep people from being able to fall off"? I mean for goodness sake, any decent size corporation--let alone the City--has a risk management office, and leaving easy access to a potentially fatal drop is a pretty big risk to overlook.
