Big_G Posted June 11, 2015 #26 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Seems she has a broken rib. Not funny at all. She could have been seriously hurt. I wonder if a law suit against the cruise line is next. I can hear it now....."Those railings are just asking to be used in such a dangerous manner" M She would've stood a better chance without the video. :D Na, just 17. I'm just glad we didn't have smart phones and the internet when I was 17.;) So do many of my fellow CCer's I bet.:) Yes, you are so right. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetrail Posted June 11, 2015 #27 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me at all if a law suit is pending.for being a moron????......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDawg Posted June 11, 2015 #28 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yes, you are so right. :eek: I was thinking of starting a new thread about the dumb stuff we all did as teenagers. So I opened up Word and started typing up my list. When I got to page 10 I gave up on that idea.:eek::eek: :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba83 Posted June 11, 2015 #30 Share Posted June 11, 2015 To me the person recording sounded like an adult. If this is the case, why would you allow your child to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted June 11, 2015 #31 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I dont see how she could possibly stand a chance at winning a lawsuit. Im sure Jim Walker is trying his best to spin it to make it Royal Caribbeans fault though :rolleyes: You'd be surprised. At NCL, we had a guy slide down the curved railing in the atrium, which broke under his weight, and he impaled himself on one of the supports. That one was settled out of court in his favor.

Debde Posted June 11, 2015 #32 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Throw them off the ship...put them on the do not sail list...... :rolleyes: As many others have said-you people were all angels at 17 and have no regrets on stupid stuff you did?? Trust me, that girl learned the hard way not to rail surf!! If you keep scrolling-she tells you her injuries, stupidity and mentions nothing of a law suit.

ryano Posted June 11, 2015 #33 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) Trust me, that girl learned the hard way not to rail surf!! t. Nah, as pointed out to me, she says she will just hold on with both hands next time She learned nothing Edited June 11, 2015 by ryano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous but I shouldnt be surprised. There are so many sue happy lawyers out there ready to pounce on cases like this like vultures on roadkill and Corporations just figure it best to settle out of court than to fight.

CHAMPDDS Posted June 11, 2015 #36 Share Posted June 11, 2015 “It’s actually more embarrassing that I was sober because if I had been drunk it would be much more goofy. I only fell because I was stupid and let go with my hand which you can’t do when you’re railing surfing.” Good to know for my trip next month...Obviously, professional rail surfers use two hands...:eek: D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted June 11, 2015 #37 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So do many of my fellow CCer's I bet.:) Nope. If it wasn't recorded, it didn't happen. ;) But then again, the medical records might still exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea_Salt_Sailor Posted June 11, 2015 #38 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me at all if a law suit is pending. If it were up to me, I put the family in the in the watch or not travel list just for being stupid and putting in risk others. Maybe the mickey mouse lawyer Jim Walker is drawing a lawsuit, since he sue for everything even because the ship has high tide without warning...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare S.A.M.J.R. Posted June 11, 2015 #39 Share Posted June 11, 2015 You'd be surprised. At NCL, we had a guy slide down the curved railing in the atrium, which broke under his weight, and he impaled himself on one of the supports. That one was settled out of court in his favor. That just means NCL thought the settlement amount was cheaper than what they'd pay the lawyers to fight the suit in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure Jim Walker is trying his best to spin it to make it Royal Caribbeans fault though :rolleyes: I believe he has already begun investigating how often they polish the railings and why waivers need to be signed to use the stairs even though they are "unenforceable" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never touch the handrail in the atrium elevators. You will carry the smell of Brass O for hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryano Posted June 11, 2015 #45 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Yeah, pretty mean and uncalled for sure. As one that has a broke back and has been in spinal rehab with those with broke necks, I wouldnt wish that on my own worst enemy :( I would rather be dead than have to live like that.

Trekker954 Posted June 11, 2015 #46 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I was on this Liberty sailing when this woman fell on stairs coming out of club at 3 a.m. She didn't make it.

Biker19 Posted June 12, 2015 #48 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Note to handrail surfers - do it only on handrails with stairs on both sides (shorter fall). Also, practice toward the bottom of the rail - different clothes material have different friction coefficients (synthetics will slide much faster than cottons). :cool: Biker, who provides these tips in the hopes that folks daring enough to handrail surf, do so safely.

DirtyDawg Posted June 12, 2015 #50 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Our future America, boy are we in trouble. I'm sure your future America will be fine. Present America survived you didn't it.:p Just like present Canada survived me.:D I'm sure there are a few things from your teenage years that you cringe at now.
