| Here we go again. A dude jumps off a cliff into the ocean but it's only 1m deep and is now a paraplegic ... council's fault, they control his brain you know. ![]() Council will pay $8m over cliff dive | Herald Sun Maybe all trees in parks need a sign, do not climb!

| Sounds a lot like the case where the guy dove into the surf (Bondi I think) and hit a sand bar claimed damages (paraplegic) won but was overturned on appeal (rightly so IMO) expect same will happen here.

| The "agreed" and "if found liable" stand out. I don't think any signs are neccessary at all. Anybody diving should always be responsible to verify depth and submerged obstacles on their own - and often that's not enough to justify a jump or dive. What a fool. ![]() |

| Its a slow process but "survival of fittest" will win in the end. Its amazing how people don't think they are responsible for their own actions. Like the bloke in Brisbane who when blind drunk got hit by a car when crossing the road, sued the pub for serving him beer and the car for being on the road whilst he was. Where is the reverse gear when you need it. |
