It was stated previously in this thread: "there are plenty of easier ways to make money. "
My first thought was: "Like Settlements?"
Concerning the historical relationship, of legal actions, to the business of kiteboarding, I find it ironic that it is a kiteboarding retailer that is suing others.
The fear, which originally stifled the growth of kiteboarding (through the fear to sell kiteboarding gear), was, that responsibility for accidents, resulting from the use of the dangerous kiting equipment would follow the "chain of liability", right back to the retailer, who promoted and sold the gear....and that the retailer would be named in the lawsuits, and suffer. A few years ago, a number of the Windsurfing shops, refused to take the risk of selling the kiting gear, because of this fear.
The "risk-takers", who decided to sell the kiting gear, wanted to stay as far away, as possible, from any hint of any kind of legal action, entering the kiteboarding theater. No one wanted to "open the door" to legal action on the playing field.
Now the subject should be, not GGround CControl, but:
"HOUND CONTROL"....Who let the Dawgs out...who?!...who?!
