Sues After 10-Year-Old Falls from Zip Line at Florida Trampoline Park |
|
A
personal injury lawsuit has been filed against a trampoline park in Florida
after a young boy fell from a zip line. The lawsuit was filed by the mother of
the 10-year-old boy who was injured when he fell out of a harness on a
zip-line-esque ride at Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park. The boy
suffered broken bones, a collapsed lung, and a brain injury, but the full
extent of his injuries is still being determined. An investigation into the
fall determined that it was the result of operator error, not the equipment.

| Report
on Uber Crash Questions Testing of Self-Driving Cars |
|
Documents
released this week by a federal agency raise questions about whether a
self-driving Uber SUV that ran down a pedestrian last year should have been
allowed on public roads for test purposes. A National Transportation Safety
Board report on the March 18, 2018 crash in Tempe, Arizona, that killed Elaine
Herzberg, 49, found that the Uber self-driving system couldn't determine if
she was pedestrian, vehicle or bicycle. It also could not predict that she was
jaywalking in the path of the moving SUV.
