Anybody have the name or pictures of this ride? What the hell kind of ride is it? They made it sound like they just drop you into a net, and the net wasn't up.

Thats pretty much it. They drop you from a 100 foot distance. The operator is SUPPOSED to make sure the net has been brought up before a person drops. The guy didn't do so, and the girl hit the ground.
Had the net been up and she still got hurt, i wouldn't hold the guy or the owner of said ride responsible. But it was negligence.
Safety equiptment can only work if the person responsible makes sure it's up.

This girl is going to have a lifetime of physical problems. And it was the fault of the operator that she got hurt.
Should the guy go to jail for it? I don't think so. But he AND the owner of the ride share a responsibility to pay for the girl's care and whatever other bills the family gets because of this.

Oh, I don't dispute the question of financial responsibility if the guy was negligent or worse.

I only object to the notion of doing this through the prosecutor's office.

That's what [strike]ambulance chasers [/strike] tort lawyers and their contingency fees are for.

Police: Wis. ride worker hit self after girl fell

By TODD RICHMOND, Associated Press Writer 43 mins ago

LAKE DELTON, Wis. An amusement park ride operator hit himself in the head with his fists once he realized a young girl had fallen about 100 feet from the ride without a safety net, according to police reports released Monday.

Teagan Marti, 12, of Parkland, Fla., fell from the Terminal Velocity ride just outside Wisconsin Dells on July 30. She survived, but doctors have said she could be paralyzed.

The ride's divemaster, Chuck Carnell, 33, has been charged with one count of first-degree-reckless injury, a felony punishable by up 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.

Carnell told investigators that he "blanked out" and never saw the "all-clear" signal before releasing Teagan, according to the criminal complaint.

According to reports released Monday, other riders told police that when Carnell realized the child had fallen, he hit himself in the head, then got on his radio and said he had just killed her and should go to jail. He also asked to have his pastor come to the amusement park.
Carnell's attorney didn't immediately return a message for comment.

This is why you keep your mouth shut, no matter how guilt-stricken you may feel. Admitting guilt before you even get to trial isn't going to help your case much.

Well.....i myself would be more leinient on a guy that showed he was sorry for his mistake. If i was on the jury, i'd be more likely to lower any punishment to him because of it.
But that's just me.

Yes, but he's admitting guilt before he's even been found guilty. Just because you're charged with an offense doesn't mean you're actually guilty of it. By taking this approach, he's all but guaranteeing he'll get punished, instead of allowing a jury of his peers to examine the issues and determine if he actually violated a law.

Cheesey does have a valid point here. It shows that the guy is not a sociopath and shows remorse immediately for his mistake.

A jury will be a lot more forgiving to a guy like this than to a guy who is stone cold.

But he's guaranteeing he will be found guilty of something. If he hadn't blabbed on himself before the authorities even arrived, he might have been acquitted outright. It's always a balancing act.

Non, very true.. especially when brought into court.

But our court system is a pile of shit anyway, and most lawyers are too.

See, this is one of the reasons these sorts of things should not be crimes.

Our civil behavior toward each other should not be governed by what a criminal jury may or may not do.

Jail is for people who owe "society" something. Who have harmed society.

And remorse should not be the determining factor for civil liability. Remorse may be grounds for social forgiveness. And if the person injured wants to forgive him, that's up to that person. But if the person wants to sue him for everything he has, that's what she should do.

Criminal "Guilt" and civil "liability" are not synonyms. And, dammit, I wish people would stop treating them as such.

Negligence means the ride operator owes a shitload to the person harmed. He doesn't owe shit to society unless, somehow, what he did harmed society.

And if a cop tries to get a prosecutor to bring the weight of his office behind penalizing a civil wrong because of what a distraught man says about "guilt", then the prosecutor's job should be to tell the cop to fuck off.

And anyone who enables the prosecutor to do anything else should be told to fuck off as well.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Zero2Cool (20h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (23h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (23h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
