Avy victim's parents seek changes

**Slaag Master** · 08-04-2012, 11:44 AM

Leroy sez: Any time someone who is grieving says anything remotely like "we need to make sure this can never ever happen again' they should be treated with empathy but otherwise completely ignored. Their suggestions should be viewed as a step in their grieving process but given no weight or credibility whatsoever.
.
Also, I get that it is tragic for the parents, but not every time someone dies is it a tragedy. It's life.

blessings to the parents and other loved ones and friends.

p.s. beware the uphill sidestep!!!!!

Since it is not about the money, should CAIC expect a donation of $250,000 minus 40% lawyer fees if there is a conclusion in favor of the plaintiff of this case?

Yeah, but they'll just pocket the money instead and tell Vail to put up more signs......because they care so much.

I would hope that the money would go into programs for youth avalanche education.

or better yet, human common sense and accountability education.

avi edu is great but oftentimes just brings folks closer to their eventual doom in the mountains.

such is life.

Looks like Vail could be taking it in the pants on this one. Maybe a bad precedent but sounds like Vail missed it's opportunity to work with the family. Need to finish reading the article...
