You know, the thing that gets me, is why do people who wheel their hobies into power lines think that it's anyone else's fault but themselves. Why hobie's fault, why not the power company? Can people not take responsibility for their own actions anymore????? Frankly I would have loved to been a juror on these cases and thrown the claim out the window!
I agree however that it's good the comp tips are there to minimise the consequences of these accidents, but why sue in the first place?
