nah. I've looked at the story now, and I agree. Reasonable people would not suppose that someone might want to jump from one roof to another six stories up. However, since there have apparently been multiple injuries, prudence might suggest finding a way to keep people from doing this. The fact that they have notyet successfully done so however does not (in my non-lawyer mind) mean there is grounds to sue them however.
