wmw999 2,121 #10 December 8, 2011 Apparently when the reporters reached one of them for a comment, the guy said "I can't think right now" and hung up. Yeah, that'd be my response too. Ya know, not every carefully-laid plan goes the way you thought it would. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #16 December 8, 2011 I don't think, it's just Mythbusters here. What about the Sheriff's Dept. being the owners of the sight where this started from? They had 'people' there at the time and supervised the expiriment. Seems to me, folks can't put this all on the Mythbuster folks, alone. Just a thought.

They'll of course, settle out of court because the guy is out of work and can't afford the cost of a trial. I think, Mythbusters has been really 'stand-up' in this mess. They are taking responsibility for what happened yet, someone is looking to profit from it. Chusk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
