Damn I left my bubbler at my parents house
This park was supposed to shut down 2 years ago,now I'd say it's definitely for sure. You can't skate here without signing a waiver,ride at your own risk. It sucks that dude died. He had to have bailed or aired way out of that bank,those lights are over 6 ft up. The family suing is a little lame though.
why the fuck wouldnt you have some sort of protection around lights on a low ceiling in a skatepark of that size?

Every indoor or "pay-to-ride" park I've ever been to (Skatestreet, Alpine, Skate Lab (RIP to all these places)) made you sign a liability waiver. Would that not protect the owners against this?EDIT: It's gotta be pretty devastating to own the venue in which someone died

Talk to any creep lawyer and they’ll tell you a waiver is worth the paper it’s printed on. I mean it offers some legal protection but in a situation like this, especially when some kind of negligence involving maintenance or possible preventive measures not taken resulting in loss of life , it starts looking bad for the property owner. I don’t agree with it but his family will probably win.

I don't know the spot/park where it happened or the details of the incident. hypothetically if the park management put a low hanging light without a cage directly above a ramp and the biker was using the ramp as intended; that sounds like it could potentially be a hazard that amounts possible negligence. its impossible to say without more information.

Ha SLAP's resident libtard and NY pro cocksucker.
He also went out doing what he loved and most people don’t get that at the end.
Notice how there’s no lights above that vert wall, but exist above the quarter pipes. I’m no lawyer but surely that fact might play into determining wether it’s gross negligence or not?
