Plummeting Off A Chute From A Great Height. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
-
The dark side of those light-hearted feature stories on the evening news is that they can get dangerous. And when it involves the Red Bull Flugtag, well, here you go, a TV news reporter who was invited to ride one of the contraptions as it plunged into the river, and is now suing for serious injuries sustained in the crash. He hit the water hard and claims he ruptured his spleen, paralyzed his diaphragm, and suffered a brain injury. He did sign a release, but he claims it was under duress. And, well, I don't think I'd ever agree to ride in one of those things, but I understand if a reporter feels like it's his job. Would you take that chance? (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
