The biggest LOSS being a loss of life regardless of whose fault, who paid what & or was awarded what!!
Anyone here willing to trade a life of a family member to avoid paying legal fees or in exchange for a settlement??

Inlaws & or Ex's are ineligible as a response to the above question

Have a great day Gent's I got work to do!

Half a brain? ! That explains the lack of reason in your posts. Is it painful, or just painful to others?

Not at all. It's quite amusing reading all the remarks all you people have to say about my jack ass comments. Keep them coming. I laughed all the way to work this morning. Thanks.

That's it? Never miss the little thing in life. Some people take them for granted.

Still trying to understand where the victory is? Page was vindicated? Ok fine, there were a couple of boobs here that were accusing him of bailing who had no idea what happened in that boat, most of us could read through that ignorance.

But what's going to happen to SBI and safety standards? Nothing? Something? Same 'ol same 'ol? Still looking for a victory outside of the monetary settlement.

Perhaps the Victory in some people's eyes is that SBI can continue status quo and not have to admit to any wrong doing or liability ? Most likely won't change a thing because people may think that is an admission of guilt.

We all know there is always room for improvement no matter what the type of racing it is.

Another story came out today:

Maybe Webster's should take the words "accident" and "self-reliance" out of the dictionary since it seems like there is no such thing anymore. It's always someone else's fault.

So at the end of the day the lawsuit was about one thing M O N E Y!!! If it was about change in the sport there would have been some mention on what will be different. If things are status quo then it must come down to MONEY. How does this make the family get closure? I will keep my eye out to see if the lawyers or the family provide a donation to help fund better safety crews at boat races. My guess is they will pocket the money and move on. Sad day indeed
