Boy, 8, sued in ski crash

>You just can't hold a child, particularly one that young, responsible for his/her behavior as if they were an adult.

Right, you hold his parents responsible. Isn't that what the guy is doing?

>Aside from that, the kid wasn't rude about it. It was an accident and he stood up and apologized. Injured or not, that would've been enough for me.

If a kid accidentally caused $75,000 worth of damage to you and your property you'd be content with an apology?

would seem to me the other question.. is they were all Skiing correct ? isn't there a certain amount of risk accepted there ?

You go skiing on a busy slope, you may crash into someone, or you may crash into a tree. and apparently they ran into each other. Maybe the old guy was standing around in the way ? just sayin'

Part of that $75,000 worth of damage you are talking about is his wife taking care of him. She married him, why should someone else pay for her to take care of her own husband.
