I saw that clip on UK news as well; obviously it hasn't occured to her to place the blame a little closer to home. She's too busy going on TV and shouting, "My son is a moron! He's managed to survive to the age of 18 without observing the action of gravity! Now he's done something really stupid and hurt himself! Who's gonna pay up?" (NB I'm paraphrasing, slightly)

Our local coverage played this with a fancy logo that screamed, "STUPID STUNT!"

Reminds me of the parents who sued Judas Priest because their kids attempted suicide (one died the other lived and killed himself right a few years later) while a Judas Priest album was on the turn table.

To quote a friend from that time period. "It wasn't the JP, did you see those two, they were losers."

No video?The video's interesting,to say the least.

I have no idea what the statement "his legs are out of his legs" means,but I'm pretty sure it's not very much fun.

What!! Natural selection has failed. The kid still lives, ya know.
Not just failed. This is the opposite of natural selection. I'll betcha that when he gets out of the hospital there're going to be idiot groupies lined up around the block to perpetuate his genes.

Well I suppose thats better than being all drunk and just falling out of the third or fourth floor balcony like happened at my school a few years back. That person barely survived. Some people were sad. I was all, who gives a dang! What a dumbass.

If he can ever walk again, that is. I don't think it will be as simple as just getting a cast.

He won't have to walk. The groupies will come to him.
