Thats ridiculous. People have to be smart. Diving off a high bridge is not safe. Period.
Well, unless youre a cliff diver. But I dont think this man, nor any of the other mucks who dive from this bridge are.
The only award should have been a slap from the common sense glove. Yes, 14 year olds do stupid things. but even a 14 year old knows that a sign that says 'no diving' was put there for a reason, and should obey it.
Now, I would have been happy to see the same ruling, if, in the same six years, the same judge made it a point to get the by-law infraction fines raised for this particular case. Retroactively charge the man $1,050,000 for disobeying the sign. Whoops.
