I'm sure his family will sue. But I don't think they have a leg to stand on.

So you think they'll come up a little short of the measuring stick of the judge?

No offense, but what about assumed risked?

If the ride operators said "no"... how long before the "you don't support our troops" line would have been tossed at them.


I share blame to both parties here. Its pretty damn sad honestly.

I worked at Kings Island for 5 years. I was a supervisor at three different rides. I have heard pleading from everyone trying to get me to let them ride. I have had to turn away veterans because they didn't meet the requirements to ride, and I have had them try to call me out for being somehow less American for it. It doesn't matter. There is absolutely no excuse for caving to the pleading of the guests.
