Werribee Gorge Accident 9-May-2006 At 8:58:36 PM Chalk Free

Maybe I'm the cold bastard that people say I am, but this whole sueing thing gives me the sh1ts. Especially people who take part in risky activities, ie life, and then sue when they hurt themselves.

I had a ground fall at frog buttress in 1999, broke both ankles and crushed a vertebrae. I have private health insurance which covered the $25k bill except for $480. If I didn't have private health insurance then the public system would have looked after me.

I have sought no compensation and have no intention of doing so. I am not alone here, Heather Swan who wrote Defying Gravity Defying Fear also shares this view.

Unfortunately with all the best intentions things happen and injuries occur. It's a tragedy that yet another U.S. attitude has invaded our culture.
