Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous..

I wonder how much time and money was wasted getting this guy down. If he wants to climb, so be it. At least he is patriotic.

what did he expect to happen? It sounds like he was trying to get some publicity by calling the radio station..etc. He got it.

 

As far as I know the roller coaster would still be considered private property, right? I don't think it would be classified as salvage, right?

See above. I don't think this is just some guy exploring, or discretely climbing around. He intended to stay a while.. according to the news he brought food and a sleeping bag. And he drew attention to himself by calling the news..etc.

And if they ignored him? He would have come down on his own and that would have been that.

Who was he harming? If he slips and kills himself, so be it. It isn't like a roller coaster car was going to come by and knock him off.

Or, he could have gotten hurt or drowned and the family would have sue'd and they would win. They sent a boat to pic him up, they did the right thing.

I'm for the government to stop micro managing what we are allowed to do and not to do. We're at the point now that everything that is not expressly permitted is expressly forbidden. Just like East Germany.

Sued who? The ocean?

 

People get killed doing stupid things on Mount Everest. Who do they sue? Nepal? God?

This is America. You should be free to be as stupid as you want. The only downside is if this jackass broke his neck, Obamacare would have us all paying to wipe his hiney for the next 40 years.

While I don't disagree, this is also America: The most litigious society on the planet. If he had gotten hurt or killed you know there would be a line of lawyers out the door looking to go after the owner of the Coaster, the State, and anyone else with a wallet.

 

Again, see my previous post. The coaster is not a shipwreck and it is still owned by someone. Being on their property without permission is still trespassing and the cops responded accordingly. Now, you could argue the helicopter is overboard but given the location it is not unexplainable.
