caersws dh problem
« on: August 15, 2008, 21:03:27 PM »
this is nothing solid okay so don't go quoting what i say or mi-thering Ian but someone went up caersws  the other weekend without permission and crashed and is trying to sue Ian the person did not sign the disclaimer . Ian i believe has said fair enough and is trying to sue the person for trespassing i don't know were it will go but . it doesn't look promising because as of now caersws is closed and its apparently permanent .  :'(

i believe it's private land, so the guy had no right being there in the first place without speaking to Ian. Therefore, i hope, he hasnt got a leg to stand on (the guy sueing).

I think that quote was directed at the guy trying to sue "ian" not you.

I dont see why people do this! Ive never ridden caersws but we all know we ride at our own risk and its our own fault if we crash. Plus if its private land and you shouldn't be there in the first place then again thats his own fault. Does he not realize that could threaten the track for everyone else, bit selfish if hes willing to make the track out of bounds for everyone else just because of his own mis fortune.

crap... meant to be going at end of the month!! Undecided

The whole 'claim culture' really bugs me, these people break the law and then when something goes wrong then they try and sue... common sense would say they shouldn't get a penny and should be done for trespassing but for a while now it hasn't worked that way and the criminal gets money for it! what a tosser!

sorry my mistake it was aimed at the guy trying to sue Ian, ive heard nothing but good things from that place so it would be a great shame to see it closed and ruined for everyone because of some muppet who wont follow rules

sorry for any misinterpreted insults

Caersws is very good and pretty tech in places. Shame to loose it as a spot. That is kinda disgusting realy.

he might have no choice, might have to close down until an independent health and safety inspector comes!

yer it will all be down to the progression of the case that the 'tw@t' brings if he is for real i think it will have to have a safety inspection , ( my dad works for ROSPA and deals with dh track skateparks and other playgrounds and stuff an imediately it would bring up objects within 1.5 meters of fall space eg stumps trees rocks .  :'( its not looking good

I despise 'claim culture'.  I've heard of clueless parents sueing when their kids are hurt, but a rider doing it is pretty sickening!!

Name and shame...
