As member of the USCGA and a USAR team, I have seen a few situations where
people got into trouble, but I strongly believe that the solution is education
not laws. I agree that when inexperienced people can get into trouble, those
who understand the situation should make sure the 'blank' ones are kept out.
Here is a good example of "Think before acting so you do not take more victims
to the disaster site."
Police have arrested a teenager they said slammed into a fire hydrant and a
utility pole that energized a pool of water and killed two women acting as good
Samaritans.
Arman Samsonian, 19, faces two felony counts of vehicle manslaughter.
Police say Samsonian was speeding on August 22 when he lost control of his SUV
while trying to make a turn near the intersection of Magnolia Boulevard. and
Ben Avenue in Valley Village (Los Angeles area). He hit a fire hydrant and a
utility pole that ended up energizing a pool of water.
I do not see the logic in the charge.
Not directly related to sailing but has water in it....

I know I'm treading on thin ice here, but a big part of
the problem is the fear of litigation. There are so many folks out there who
are
looking for someone else to protect them from their stupidity and somehow to
benefit financially from that stupidity, that now there are too many laws to
protect us from ourselves.
And there are too many attorneys out there who are ready
to 'help' us benefit from our stupidity.
Sorry, but I too am upset with laws to protect us from
idiots, including ourselves.
Says one who used to be married to an attorney, who also
believes as I do and no longer practices.
