Berks county jury awards injured snow tuber $2.1 million.

Kinda curious to see what the tubing hill looks like this year and if this settlement leads to any changes in the name of safety.

They should make the tubers wear helmets...heck they should make helmet use mandatory for all skiers and riders.

nothing like ideas to make things more annoying for the sake of corporate safety.

Rent our skis? Use our tubes? Got to wear a helmet. Luckily we rent helmets too- 15$

Shadows after a two million dollar lawsuit I won't be surprised if they provide helmets and padding for tubers.

[Shadows]

Well yea. If they require it theyd have to provide them

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Well yea. If they require it theyd have to provide them

Sure and they can charge for it.

Was reading about this on the interwebs the other day, can't believe they lost.

 

Repercussions:  Tubing hill is essentially cut in half this year.  Still looks very fun though.  Safe, and fun.

as a friend once told me, "tubing, for the truly talentless". after reading that article i really can't believe this dude won the lawsuit. smh.

I was looking at the tubing hill today, about 1/2 the length it used to be, and flatter maybe. Or am I imagining that?

[PASKIINGSUCKS]

Pretty sure it's the same pitch, they just start from about halfway down the hill now instead of the top.  May have made the bottom runout longer too, I'm not sure about that.

 

Wonder if they will start the cardboard races from the top still.
