I don’t believe this moron has the audacity to file suit for something he did to himself. I also do believe there was a scumbag personal injury attorney who took the case.
Jester, Jester, Jester, plaintiff’s counsel is a Virginia “Super Lawyer” and recipient of several other accolades. He is only protecting the rights of those injured at the hands of others. How can you say such things about such an esteemed member of our legal profession? Heck, he’s probably representing the plaintiff for free being the great guy that he is. Just like John Edwards; he’s there for the little guy; money has nothing to do with it. And if you buy all that, I have a bridge for sale.
As a competitor in these types of events, I know firsthand that the course is well publicized in advance, there are several warnings posted regarding the nature of the obstacles, and every competitor’s race packet contatins information warning of the hazards. Any competitor not feeling up to an obstacle is given the option of going around or seeking assistance. I hope that this action of one individual does not change these events or eliminate them altogether as they are a great alternative to marathon running.
I’m sorry the guy’s hurt, but no one forced him to participiate in the race, no one forced him to crawl through the mud pit and no one forced him to ignore his own physical condition when he came to the pit. Flag Day-I agree….total and complete assumption of risk.

That hold harmless agreement he probably signed means nothing.
