I've been using on and off most of my life and its calming effect is to be appreciated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the following article the guy had insurance so wasn't out of pocket any money, plus he did get a minor amount from the park. Considering he signed a waiver, me thinks he's trying for some easy money. I had an opportunity several years ago to take a bungee jump at another park outside of Pattaya. It was paid for by the group I was with, but I declined. Knowing how poor the maintenance is in this country, I wasn't about to trust my life to a few strands of rubber cord. Hong Kong tourist narrowly survives bungee cord snapping midair in Thailand ... Once Mike was feeling better, he emailed the bungee jumping park to demand compensation for nearly dying. The park only offered Mike a refund of 2,000 baht for his ticket and to pay for his immediate medical expenses which cost only 8,000 baht. ... He was in the hospital for three days in Hong Kong, racking up HK$50,000 (220,000 baht) in medical bills. Mike was responsible, unlike hundreds of other travellers in Thailand, and had taken out travel insurance, so luckily he didn’t have to fork out the money. Mike keeps emailing the bungee company to no avail, so he’s tried contacting the Tourism Authority of Thailand to ask for help. They didn’t reply either, said Mike. The incident happened during a work trip to Thailand in February and around one month later he still hasn’t received any compensation or even a reply. In an email, Mike said… “My friends and I have suffered losses due to the accident, including changes to our travel plans, my injury and my suffering, and the time and income lost from constant check-ups and treatments after returning to Hong Kong. “I have declined the park’s proposed compensation plan, as it is unfair to me. If the accident had been slightly more severe, I could have lost my life. After the accident, I discovered that a similar accident has been happened in the same park before already. “I believe the park’s irresponsible attitude towards visitors is unacceptable, safety is the most critical concern of every visitor.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggles Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Wouldn't the signed waiver be invalidated by the obvious equipment failure? Even in Thailand the home of carelessness, I would hope so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when I was a kid, working as a dishwasher at a Barnaby's pizza place in Chicago Heights Il. One Friday (pay day) I came into work, late afternoon. When I walked in I saw that two busloads of some tour group had just left after having a meal. Their arrival was unexpected. I did a quick assessment of things. Calmly asked for my paycheck as I put on my work apron. After I pocketed the check I waited until the manager went out to the front. I dropped the apron on the floor, went out the back, unlocked my bike and boogied out of there. The manager was a c**t anyway. f**k the guy. About twelve to fifteen years later I was at some bar or function. This guy walks up to me. Starts giving me a hard time about walking out on him. I felt a little bad... for about five minutes.

forcebwithu Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 More idiocy. Someone should tell the idiots a fire truck is used to put out fires, so use it to stop the source of the pollution. Unfcking believable. Toxic air still choking North "The causes were still extensive outdoor burning and the large number of fire hotspots in neighbouring countries, coupled with stagnant air." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
