for what ever reason joey could not get free from his harness and the seat once he pulled the lever to release his belts he disconnected his big boat tank and started to breath off the little 2 minute bottle. Apparently the rescue crew didn't get there until 7-10 minutes later and by that time the 2 minute bottle had expired. The leg bottle actually has a pouch in the front of it where a knife is supposed to be inserted for cutting away your belts. SBI and there safety coordinator david dipetrillo are attempting to place blame on efveryone else. They are trying to drag everyone in this lawsuit. OSS has a written safety rule that rescue crews have to be no more thatn 30 seconds away from any accident on the race course. The boat held up, the air system worked, the rescue crew didn't do its job and SBI is trying to pass the buck.

It still amazes me how quickly people are to point blame at others that have ZERO to do with the cause or result of an accident like this, like the sponsors. I do feel sorry for the family involved that lost their loved one, but I hope they lose this legal fight to set a precedent for possible accidents in the future. This is BULL**** |

Where is Mike A in all of this? I am sure he is watching! Come on Mike, post in public (not pm's to individuals) Tell us you are in this suit pro bono and that every dollar settled for is going into making the sport safer. Then prove updates on where the settlement money has gone. Make me out to be wrong about the suspected motivation (I would love to be wrong about this)
For those that might say Mike A has better things to do than follow this on OSO, you are wrong! He has sent private messages responding to this to others. He is watching. So Mike come on and explain how a financial lawsuit will help the sport. Please educate me so I can be convinced my thoughts on this are wrong. I do not mind admitting I am wrong if I can be proven to be that Come on Mike educate me as to why sponsors insurance companies are being pursued, and tell me how that will help the sport. I am a low educated individual, so some times things need to be spelled out for me. I am not afraid to post my information here, Can you do the same ?? |
Mike Alweiss did not start this thread. Why would he discuss pending litigation, and the discovery process with a non-party to the litigation? Most attorney(s), including myself, would not do that. If you have a question for him, send him an e-mail, or call him directly. He may not discuss the case, but if you want or need answers go get them from the source in a one-to-one setting. Hope that solves your question.
PS - I do not know Mike Alweiss, nor have I have ever spoken with him ever. Stephen |

Also it will be settled by the insurance Co. instead of going to court and apart from the award nothing safety wise will come of this except the disappearance of available insurance coverage for events. My odds are now up to 5-1 on no races next year... Unfortunately. That weekend will become centered around the Poker Run gathering is my guess. |

The irony is that as we read all this, check out some of the advertisement under our posts.... Been wronged by Mesothelioma or Vaginal Mesh Failure.....
Freaking classic and ironic at the same time! http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/a...1&d=1326906845 |
