    I can tell you first hand that disability is not at all like this binary mentality. This was a major injustice to what disability is really like. It reflects how stupid people really are and a judge that should be disbarred. Today is my 10 year anniversary of the day I was disabled by an idiot driver. I could likely toss a tree like this if I tried. It might cost me a few weeks of not sleeping more than 2 hours, but it is my right to take such a risk if I choose. Only stupid people view disability as a binary state. There are levels of misery and limitations you can not fathom. I can’t hold posture for long. You can’t imagine how miserable that really is. I can’t sit up. Laying down most of the time is awful. Simply getting dressed and driving anywhere takes longer than my sustainable limits and pushing past those limits means I will need several days to weeks before I can get back to my standard level of inadequate sleep I have experienced for 10 years now.

      Only stupid people would hurt themselves just to have some fun and expect everyone else to pay or make up for it.

      The judge made the right decision here, she hurt herself and is blaming someone else instead of taking responsibility for her actions.

      Being sick or injured means you cannot do everything a healthy person can, that’s just an unfortunate fact of life. Other people shouldn’t have to suffer and pay just so you can do something dangerous, there is plenty of other options available.

      Look at it another way in this particular case, even a healthy person could permanently injure themselves throwing a tree. And she wants to blame something that happened a year before? Get over yourself.

      Most people have no issue going out and having fun, but they don’t want to do the physio and recovery, since it’s no fun and also costs money. It’s usually this, they could have fun, but than they need to pay for physio, so they have fun and bitch instead.

          Collision 2017, tree tossing 2018. No doctor would have recommended doing a tree toss if she was already dealing with an injury. And if she wasn’t, why would she blame a year old collision instead of what happened a few days before.

          Read the article yourself maybe…

              I don’t know why this should have to be explained. 2018 is after 2017, why is there no evidence of the injury prior to the tree tossing?

              Yeah insurance sucks, but let’s stick to the facts here instead of circle jerking fallacies, yeah?
