I've selected the 2 quotes above to illustrate the real issue. First let me agree with what I think is most peoples sentiments; that it's 1 thing to be damaging the property via the action and it's another to cave into the demands of our "litiginous society". The former is (IMHO) a fair reason to prohibit jumping while the latter is not. The problem is that when someone does something and get's hurt then "we" cave in and pay. This is what has to stop ! When people are held accountable for the results of their actions and don't get a free pass, the hue & cry over insurance payments will stop and hopefully the silliness over restricting peoples freedom of choice (however questionable) as well. Last I knew there were people serving on the juries that award the silly judgements so the power lies within "us" to change what is now the status quo. Pogo ("I've meet the enemy ...) was correct !
