This litigation situation is getting completely out of hand.  Is there no such thing as plain bad luck anymore?   Surely this is just an opportunistic grab for money.   The full report that Mark points to, makes for pretty sick reading.

Subject: [aus-soaring] Passenger Sues after Gliding Mishap

http://www.theadvertiser.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,4682730%255E2682,00.html

 A GLIDER passenger who witnessed a mid-air collision is taking legal
 action against the estates of two people who plunged to their deaths
 because he has become afraid of heights.

 John Bruce Purvis is also suing the Waikerie Gliding Club, the
 Waikerie International Soaring Club and the pilot of the glider
 in which he was having a joy flight when the tragedy occurred on
 March 2, 1999.

Ahem.
