This suit literally makes me want to jump off the tallest thing I can find, not so I can kill myself but so I can sue someone.
According to the New York Post, a man who some security guards talked down from jumping off of the Empire State Building has sued the building.
That’s not fair. You can’t blame the building for being tall. That’s just how God made it. Can the building help it it was good at basketball and had trouble walking through low hanging doorways and had to slow dance at the prom with their dates leaning his head against its waist?
The plaintiff in this suit was trying to jump off the building because he’s a dumbdevil…sorry, daredevil. Yeah, that’s what I meant, daredevil. Yeah.
A couple of security guards talked him out of jumping and because of that, he claims he suffered emotional distress and the guards endangered his life. By comparison, that means jumping off the building and splattering all over the pavement would have been a quality of life improvement.

Ok, this brings up the question of which ends first, the Universe or human stupidity.

Actually I saw this on the Today show. They didn’t talk him out of jumping the guards grabbed him. Which is why he is saying they endangered his life (they could have ripped his parachute, broken one of his limbs, wind could have picked him up and carried him off at the wrong trajectory, etc). Though he didn’t get permission before jumping, he just ran out onto the roof and started climbing the fence that prevents suicides.

Endangered his life?It seems to me they saved his life.They should sue him for being such a ungrateful dumbass.

@ Jaymie: Well shucks, if I saw someone running towards the roof’s edge past the suicide net, I’d make a grab for him as well.
That or start a betting pool to see how big the splat is likely to be.
