According to the lawsuit, Feldman alleges that the safety harness was a thin nylon piece that could only support kids and not adults like Feldman. Feldman states that he was not told he and other adults could not use the zipline due to weight restrictions.  When Feldman attempted to use the zipline, the line broke and he ended up jumping from the tower and slammed to the ground 25 feet below. He was in coma for a week with a traumatic brain injury, respiratory failure and a collapsed lung.  Feldman has filed a law suit against the Boy Scouts as their safety preparations were insufficient to allow people like Feldman to use the zipline.

We hope that Feldman recovers from his injuries.  Traumatic brain injuries can have very long-lasting and devastating effects.  We hope that the lawsuit brings out the facts and that Feldman receives the compensation he deserves.

Butler was shot at by the police using the TASER stun gun, also known as the Electronic Control Device (ECD), when he refused to leave the Santa Cruz Metro Bus station even after persistent efforts from the authorities. Butler’s lawyer claims that the electric shock led to the cardiac arrest which subsequently led to the brain injuries leaving his client permanently disabled.

Brain injury can lead to fatal injuries.  TASER guns have been linked to a number of deaths worldwide, typically when used by law enforcement officers in “non-lethal” efforts to control people.  It is often alleged that officers misuse the weapons and expose people to prolonged electronic shocks which can lead to brain injury.

The injured pilot was hang gliding and was probably looking for a place to land when he suddenly crashed down 30 feet to the ground and hit the walkway of the school. The crash caused him to suffer a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and he was taken to John Muir Medical Center. The man, who has not yet been identified, was believed to have taken off from Mount Diablo.

Our office wishes the pilot a quick recovery. We also hope that the investigation gets finished soon. Brain injury is a very serious issue and anyone who indulges in sports like hang gliding should wear a safety helmet and take any precaution to eliminate or minimize major head trauma.  It is also a good idea to always partake in adventure sports with a buddy so that if one of you becomes injured, the other can most likely help their injured partner.
