incline

Good article on troops doing the Incline over here. Very classy of Ms. Williams to break the law and then whine about others who are breaking the law.

Go Army!

I'm betting the bottom line is we have stupid liability law in the US. Ooh, I got a splinter on the Incline, I'm going to sue the railway.

I can wait until that thing is legal. CO's a big state.

There have been some pretty heinous injuries up there, but as far as I know there haven't been any lawsuits.

brownie - I'm just saying the owner's fear is an impediment to people being able to use property for recreational purposes.

For example the Lincoln/Cameron/Bross mess. Access to the summits of Lincoln/Cameron was closed for a while until last year (?) when the town of Alma assumed all liability.

Yes, that fear is definitely an issue with the Cog Railway (one of two big issues - parking is the other one). And I should have said that I'm very surprised there haven't been any lawsuits (that I know of), since we're such a sue-happy culture.

I tried to sue once but settled out of court for a lifetime supply of summit donuts.

It wasn't clear to me how much/if her chief complaint was them being out there or not, based on the (poor) wording of the article.

As to their actions, picturing it being said to my wife, I'd think....well...this =)
