Yo, Stu, did you get this one as a client?
What a hunk of crap.
When you take on a dangerous job, you gotta deal with the aftermath.
Can I sue uncle Sam because I've picked pieces of bodies off me?
(Accidental explosion, also. Bad grenade fuse. Also intentional
explosions. Charlie mistook me for a fucking soldier.)
Do I get to sue GM for the car accident I witnessed the other day, the
person I watched die, the belt I left as a tourniquet?
I sure as hell wish I could sue the assholes who fucked up my childhood.
Once upon a time, I was certified PTSD, so I know damn well of which I
speak.
When do we start holding individuals responsible for their mistakes, and
stop looking to get paid because life is full of pain?
Fuck this shit. I'm gonna sue Lurleen for being a crazy bitch and
depriving me of that fine nookie thus causing PPSD (Post Pussy Stress
Syndrome), and Stumpy for making me temporarily impotent (happens every
time I see her) and klaus for hurting my feelings, and Buttdawg for
dumping me for klaus, and Stu for not automatically noticing I was in
distress and coming to my aid.
Waaaaaah! Pay me!

Shit, shit, and more shit. Even I know well enough to get rid of an avi
bomb if there is any question that the fuse is defective, and I've never
received any formal explosives training....other than a bomb disposal
class, which is another story.
God, I hate professional victims.
At the risk of sounding sexist, I highly doubt a man would have filed
this suit. He'd be justifiably laughed off the mountain....not for
being traumatized, but for expecting to be paid because of someone
else's mistake. I can see getting your therapy paid for, but 250 grand
is ludicrous.
Sure, it is traumatic. But life is full of trauma, and you can't go
suing everytime the fickle finger of fate flips you off. The woman
fucked up, and it killed her. I know of two local patrollers, one a
friend, who've died over the years. They made up their own bombs, and
they fucked up. Nobody sued. If you can't deal with it, don't take the
damn job in the first place.
Deal with it without resorting to a jackpot suit.
No wonder lift tickets are so high.

Avi bombs are simple things. There are well established rules for
dealing with such explosives that can be transmitted in less than an
hour.
Once upon a time, I threw a few myself. Had one malfunction. Did it
according to the book. Waited. Three minutes later, BOOOM.
Even I wasn't stupid enough to go looking for the damn thing. Toss it,
deal with it in the spring if it don't go bang.
Too bad that the lawyer in this case doesn't handle avi bombs.
Scott
I hate to mislead people about my past, too. Charlie mistook me for a
fucking soldier because I was a civilian. I ducked the draft.
Went to Nam as a college journalist. Being a stupid kid with more balls
than brains, made the mistake of taking up a dare from some SEALs I knew
from Coronado, where I finished hs.
Ended up somewhere I didn't want to go to, and saw some things I never
wanted to see.
Charlie didn't understand that this tall, skinny white boy was against
the war, hated Nixon, and smoked dope just like they did. Didn't help
that I was wearing mondo cool fatigues.
I tried to explain, but every time I tried, they kept shooting at me.
Even put a hole in me, the little fuckheads. Doom on you, Buddha.
Probably because they knew I would one day ski at Vail, and they
wouldn't. Probably because they knew I would one day wear black Bogner
pajamas, and they were stuck with Uncle Ho's tailor.

Got my case from childhood abuse. Run a web search on my name if you
want some of the gory details. Nam was a walk in the park in
comparison...at least I could shoot back, and I got to leave. Grand
total of 11 days incountry, which is 11 more than Horvath ever spent.
I do share your sentiments, though. Went up to the vets I know on
Memorial Day and personally thanked them for their sacrifices. Stopped
by the grave of a friend we buried a couple months ago. Overdose.
We don't even give them a parade anymore in Seattle.
How quickly we forget.

We've started. The question is whose mistake was it, the poorly trained
patrollers, or the people who were supposed to train them? I don't know
the answer to that in this case. That's what civil court is for.

Wimmin are entirely evil, and all the woes of the world can be blamed on

head the cabal that actually runs the world.

I was at the Sky a couple of days after it happened. The whole
community was shocked and in grief.
Anybody who is crazy enough to take that job has my respect. I remember
getting out of bed after a two foot dump at Alpental and getting dragged
out into the back country to throw bombs. I thought they were nucking
futs to do that for five bucks an hour or so.
Which has nothing to do with this suit. Like me, you've handled plenty
of things that go bang and can kill you. Such things happen.
What would smokejumping be like if every time a chute malfunctioned, the
whole team got to sue for damages because they watched their buddy go

Hell, I feel a case of PTSD coming back. God knows I've seen enough
people die in my time.
Somebody should pay me for the pain.

I disagree.
Murphy's Law happened to bite a woman this time. Hazards of the trade,
and as more women more into dangerous jobs, more women will die.
Ever look at the stats concerning workplace fatalities?
95 percent male, but dropping.
When you take a dangerous job, you assume the risk. I highly doubt that
these women did not hear the proper way to handle a malfunctioning fuse,
and I'd bet good money they were told the same damn thing a hundred
times.
I've been there and watched friends die and get badly hurt, and you've
been there, and you know how easy it is to fuck up.
The woman who died probably fucked up. From what I heard in Montana,
everybody thought it was her mistake to not get rid of the bomb when
there was ANY question of whether the fuse was lit.
Yeah, Pigo can be a sexist sumbitch. But he's got a point. It has
never occured to me to sue for damages because I have witnessed
violence. I assume that is part and parcel of life, and I am trained by
my culture and experience to deal with such trauma.
If she gets a million, I want a million for every cop who every lost a
partner, every steelworker who lost his beer buddy, every firefighter
who has smelled burnt pork, etc.
But if a guy filed that suit, the jury would laugh his ass out of
court. She'll get sympathy.
There is an apparent double standard.

Vail: Where you can pay a million dollars to watch Bob and Pigo play
hot potato with a defective avi bomb.
I have to wonder about a society that allows slasher movies on one hand and
then turns around and recognizes post traumatic stress disorder as a bad
thing.
It seems to me that people are just fine with traumatizing themselves if
they get
to pay for it. I figure we're just a few years away from true "sensurround"
slasher
movies with splattering blood and the smell of gore.
With that in mind, I'd like to open registration for the Throckmorton
Extreme Ski
o' Death Championships. We have opportunities for both participants and
spectators. For a mere $200 dollar entry fee participants get to hurl
themselves
down an unskied 3000 foot coulior with a five sticks of dynamite ready to
blow
on a one minute timer. Participants will be judged on most awesome
domination
of the hill, gnarliest line, most heinous air, and broadest scatter after
exploding.
This is your shot at immortality, dude!
Spectators can pay $50 dollars to sit in the bleachers at the bottom of the
mountain
or for the connoiseur of extreme sports, we offer Club Extreme Trauma
seating.
For the small fee of $5000 we will tie you in to a bolt installed in the
living rock
of the mountain, where you can experience the power, adrenaline, blood, and
body parts of these intense athletes as they hurl towards certain death. It
will be
the thrill of a lifetime.
Plus as a permanent memento of your attendance at Club Extreme Trauma,
we'll permanently attach a windsock with the environmental slogan of your
choice to commemorate your lasting commitment to extreme sports and
the environment.

Sadly, a lot of people spend a lot of time looking for fuck-ups by
women/blacks/choose group you love to hate so they can hold these up as
evidence to support the backlash against any gains made by those groups in
the last decades.
Human nature, I suppose.
This summer, women volunteers in the Rural bush fire brigades got burnt and
dead side by side with their male comrades. No one's suing, no one's saying
they shoudln't be there.
We had a horrible engine fire in one of our naval ships just recently; 4
sailors died, one a female. No crap about her being there either, which
gives one hope.

Women doing stuff that's "not female" is still regarded as big news.
There could be a heap of this kind of thing happening, but it gets coverage
if there's an "angle", and it being a woman is definitely an angle.
Beware being manipulated by the media.

Which is something Bob should try if he doesn't have a brain big enough
to interpret my posts. I obviously don't know these chicks, but they
showed up the morning after their training class, took the extra pay,
took some bombs, and blew up. Could have been a girl or a guy. I never
said any different. It's a stupid lawsuit and I was generalizing about
the state of the world we live in.
I've worked with broads that want to be carpenters and heard the equal
pay bullshit, but when it comes time to go up high or lift something
heavy, their suddenly suzie homemaker.
I'm the true non-discriminator here because I would chose the best
person for the job, with *NO* headstarts for chicks, blacks, gays
whatever.

One tidbit to add. I was told the procedures were changed at Breck because
of this incident. They increased the time 'trollers are to wait before
retrieving apparent duds to detonate them with another charge. So, one
might speculate that insufficient time was being used prior to the
incident.

As a matter of fact I do look at these statistics. In 1995 the
fatalities per 100,000 workers were 8 men and 1 woman and as a whole there
were 5,676 men killed by fatal occupational injuries and 534 women killed
by fatal occupational injuries, not exactly 95 percent. These raw
statistics don't show how the deaths occured but the riskiest occupations
have traditionally been construction, commercial fishing and logging, jobs
tradiitionally held by men. Rising fast are the deaths of women killed in
the workplace by acts of domestic violence and hold ups in quick marts.
: When you take a dangerous job, you assume the risk. I highly doubt that
: these women did not hear the proper way to handle a malfunctioning fuse,

When you take a dangerous job, you also assume that your employers will
take all precautions to assure that the job is performed as safely as
possible. These precautions include proper training and supervision,
especially for inexperienced workers who are involved in the highest rate
of occupational accidents. I haven't seen the Big Sky employee training
program but from the sounds of the fatality I doubt that they were told a
100 times how to deal with a malfunctioning fuse, explosive safety isn't
taught in one day.
Another possible contributing factor is the Macho factor", peer pressure
applied to newbies to perform a position without questioning or asking for
guidance or help. This machoness is very common in high risk occupations,
not tying in while roofing, over working in the heat, not wearing
respiratory protection while painting, etc.
My sympathy goes out to the deceaced's family, her partner and the others
on the Big Sky ski patrol, hopefully they and patrolers everywhere will
learn from her loss.

Strange.
As to the part about stupidity of the lawsuit, if I understand Bob Lee
correctly, he's saying that you don't know enough about it to make an
assessment one way or the other; that maybe it should be left for a jury
to decide, after they've heard the relevant facts. I know, it's a strange
concept, but it's the American way.

Wrong again, pinebreath. Pig and I have different theory.
I'll bet those families were being supported by firefighter bucks. At
the risk of overgeneralizing, women in dangerous jobs tend to not have
children they are supporting as frequently as men.
I'm bitching about suing for pain and suffering involved-not child
support.

I will choose to disagree about the preponderance of suits in cases like
this.
I've watched it happen in my ex-profession, and I hear the same stories
from the cops and firefighters I know.
There simply seems to be a high proportion of women who sue when exposed
to the hazards of dangerous trades.
Not necessarily the worst idea, mind you.
If women suing provides a healthier and safer workplace for men, I'm all
for it.

I'm sorry, Stumpy, but I have to finally tell the truth.
Stumpy wants to be a firefighter, just like Bob, so everytime I snuck
into the woods to pee, she tagged along, begging to be allowed to handle
the Hose of Vail.
She kept hoping Lurleen would fall asleep with a smoke in her hand,
light up the condo, so she could be a hero using me as a fire engine.

I'm beginning to realize that it's only other people that have any
business expressing their opinion BUT I don't care, soooooooo......
It's an assumption based on the fact that she's suing for suffering and
so on for a job that is known to be dangerous. That shows the mindset to
work the system. I merely moved it back to the pre-explosion timeframe.
You guys better watch out! According to the new govt. definitions, I
think I'm a couple #'s overweight. And in a few more years I'll be
eligible for age discrimination excuses too. I'll start defending them
then. As for now, I'm on my own, so I'll defend that as long as it's in
MY best interest.

The psychological damage thing is a wee bit suspect. Let's face it they

Not so. It is most decidedly NOT always obvious that the fuse is lit. In
addition the quality control on fuse is not always the best. It's possible
to get a fuse that "runs", i.e. what you thought was a 90 second fuse
turns out to be a 5 second fuse...not fun.
Most areas have established procedures for dealing with questionable
ignition (e.g. "immediately clip 2" from the ring, re-ignite, throw, only
one attempt allowed") but I believe the actual procedures may vary from
area to area or state to state. In addition some areas have far far more
experience with explosives than others (due to the volume of explosives
used).
This particular case is a sad one, but as is often the case it's actually
better to keep idle speculation out of the conversation. Those of you who
don't actually play with dynamite and who don't know the people involved
are not particularly well equipped to speak knowlegeably on this particular
incident.

Aside from the rather abysmal construction of that comment, I realize that
I've failed miserably to say what I meant. I did not mean to imply that
people should not speculate on the merits (or lack thereof) of the suit,
suing in general, the cost of lift tickets, whether Scott is deserving of

I *meant* to say that comments about the level of training necessary for
explosives use are probably best left to those who actually know something

The suit sucks.
Suing sucks in general.
The cost of lift tickets sucks.
Scott is not getting sucked, and that sucks, and he deserves sympathy.
Nixon sucked big donkey dicks.

Call me ignorant, but what happens to all those unexploded bombs? I can
imagine that it would be really dangerous at the end of the season as
the snow starts to melt and all these bombs are uncovered.
Also doesn't the risk increase if another charge later on happens to
detonate the first one? (such as a larger explosion than planned, or a
bigger avalanche?)

BOZEMAN (AP) - A former Big Sky ski patroller who saw her co-worker die in anÂ
accidental explosion has sued the resort for $1.25 million.
Shana Behr was working with Erika Pankow when Pankow was killed by an avalanche
control explosive on Christmas Day 1996.
Behr is suing Boyne USA, Big Sky's parent company for $250,000 to pay for the
psychological treatments that resulted from her mental trauma and $1 million in
punitive damages.
"Immediately following the explosion, (Behr) was covered in blood and flesh.
She could not tell whether it was hers or Erika Pankow's," according to the
suit. The suit says Behr searched for Pankow and finally found her body lying
in the snow in blood approximately 100 yards away.
The psychological damage from witnessing Pankow's death is ongoing, and Behr is
still receiving treatment, the suit states.
The suit alleges that Pankow's death and Behr's subsequent mental trauma was a
result of Big Sky inadequately training the two women.
Pankow was killed on top of 11,166 foot Lone Peak, where the two had been sent
to clear snow that accumulated at the top of the tram, and to detonate
explosives to remove a cornice of snow that posed avalanche danger.
The Madison County Sheriff said Pankow apparently had triggered the fuse on a
two-pound explosive without realizing it. As she was attempting to relight it,
the explosive detonated, killing her and sending Behr spawling in the snow.
Both women had taken the resort's one-day explosives training class. -END-A "one-day" training class? Two rookies by themselves? Interesting.

At Breck (and I would assume elsewhere), after throwing a hand charge that
does go not off, the mountain is kept closed and a certain amount of time
is allowed to pass after the charge should have gone off (30 minutes?). The
public (that's me) freezes at the T-Bar while the wind blows and this time
passes. Then, it is retrieved (I imagine a good game of rock-paper-scissors
to determine which of the pair gets to go get it). It is placed with
another charge and blown up. Then we get powder turns.
I don't know what happens when a avalauncher charge does not go off
in-bounds.

Actually that's another option. If you throw a bomb, it doesn't go off, and
you're accurate enough to get another charge on top of the dud then you
can make a nice big bang that solves the problem rather cleanly.

True point, you can't comment until you have seen what & how the course

things.
When I was born, i my left hand I hald a rattle, the other a stick of

construction workers, avo teams, farmers & lunitic left wing radicals
only please.

also hand charges are thrown on the end of a piece of long rope
(gets shorter as the season goes on so it needs replacing often or
lengthening)
so you know where they are.

Actually we don't use that technique. The only time I've seen rope used
is when there is a need/desire to hang a charge off the edge of a cornice.
I've never seen a charge thrown with a rope unless somebody was hanging
on to the other end.

How about pigo as the cop????
Name works, anyhow.
How tall is Bob Lee?????? we'd have to put him in the middle or something..
or use him and pigo as bookends -
good idea to keep those two separated. :-)
Tigger can conduct... baton equipped.

It's a good name for the role, but is he buffed?

Bob's not that tall, taller than Ant and klaus, but he's a dead ringer for
the
cowboy from the Village People. And I forgot the construction worker guy.
How well does Adrenochrome sing and dance?

But his baton... is it... you know... manly? <nudge, nudge

I try to get buffed at every opportunity!
I don't think I'll fit in your little group though. You must remember,
I'm AKA PBR.

They have. And they make really good rear-view mirror decorations. They
make very pretty rainbow-reflection effects in the car (I mean automobile).
DAT, oth, is proving quite popular.

Lot of little kids here like them. They seem like a nice clean-cut group.

Now, you know I'm incredibly stupid...darn, he's exposed me again.

Oh no!!! Not him. He's a poof. (err, aactually, um...never mind).
And wasn't he black?
And won't Bob get a sunburnt bum in that outfit?

Dunno if you can buy leather stuff in XXS.
> Vail-Could make for an interesting revival...
We don't have revivals cos TB reckons he invented them so only he can call
them. More people turn up if they're not revivals, anyway.
And I refuse to be seen in public wearing white bell-bottoms. bloody hell
there are LIMITS!

Well, two out of three....
Vail: REALLY the West Village
Well, actually... after consulting my vintage vinyl collection,
it looks like you'll be sandwiched between klaus
(Leatherman) and Buttdawg (Indian). Sounds cozy,
don't it?
In addition we've got Pigo as the construction guy,
Ant as the soldier/sailor (unless she grows a mustache)
and Adrenochrome as the lead singer. Tigger will be
your manager and therefore responsible for teaching
you all to lip synch and pump your hips to the beat
(dancing would be a bit much to ask.)

That explains a lot, actually. When we skied Yyyy, he kept referring
to the lifties as "Vaarrrrmit!" and told them to "Come out, orrr I'll blast
you out!" whenever they were sitting in their huts. Thank god we didn't
see any rabbits.

He does not have a big hammer. He has forgotten what to do with a hammer.

As manager, Tigger will also get 15% of all proceeds from
the record deals and comedy albums
