If, as a volunteer rescuer, you saved the drowning of a man's life by cutting the strings tangled kite his neck, and he then sued for the cost of your kitestrings, you feel justified to allow one man to drown if you got into trouble again?
My rational is that posed a threat to me (emotionally and financially) as a result of me trying to rescue him before and we are taught that our first responsibility is for our own safety and well-being. (We can not save lives if we will have a breakdown of stress!)
PS the cost of these channels, so special was $ 600
The more I make in two weeks!
I feel justified to drown so do not feel bad:) just said to him, it was either the chain of survival or kite you survive, asshole.
You are protected by the Good Samaritan law. It can not continue, you Eacute can prove that you wanted to hurt him or destroy his property.
this scenario is true? It's crazy. no judge in their right mind would allow this case to go past opening arguments. As the first guy posted, you're protected by the Good Samaritan law. Besides, this man should not have a real reason to sue you on kite strings, especially when you saved his life. I still would not let him drown if the next time, because if you were to watch him die without doing anything about it, a family member could sue you for negligence.
