Sticks a fire cracker up his butt, is drunk, and is seeking damages because there's no handrail.  Seems reasonable to me.  The lesson here kids, "If you stick fireworks up your butt, there'd better be a handrail.  Handrails make unsafe acts safe."

Exactly. Why don't people get it? I always make sure there are handrails when I feel like lighting fireworks out of my ass. I've even politely declined to put on my fireworks shows a few times, because there was no handrail.  :dontknow:
 
The inserter is not the plaintiff.  The plaintiff is a bystander who witnessed the inserter's actions and their results and fell off the damn deck.  I figger if you.go to.a frat kegger you waive all right to be shocked by anything.  But seriously...who expects even an idiot drunken frat boy to set off a bottle rocket in his own anus?
 
I've been in a few drunken stupors around my fraternity brothers when I was in college and never thought of shooting a rocket out of my butt. What happened to the days when your butt was used for more wholesome pastimes, like drunken moonings?

Johnny Knoxville should know that when he does these "Jackass" movies, that, even though saying "don't try this at home,"  there will be some dope that will, indeed, try it at home. When it comes to resisting the urge to do stupid things, I quote one of my fraternity brothers when he bowed out of going bungee jumping off of a bridge:

"A broken rubber brought me into this world, and there's no way a broken rubber is going to take me out of it!"
 
That's ridiculous, but still better than that asshat in Florida who killed 4 people because he was driving drunk and high, and is now suing his dead victims' family because "it was totally their fault that he hit them with his car."  There was a time when stupid crap like this would get laughed out of court.  I kind of wish we could go back to that time.

It's weird saying this as I'm only 25 but...

I miss the good old days.
 
Hannaugh, it does still get laughed out of court.  It's just better publicized when one of these jerkholes files suit (before the judge kicks it to the curb).
 
Well I wish they would make the people bringing up these stupid lawsuits pay for the entire trial.  Doesn't seem fair for the taxpayers or the people they're suing to pay a dime for any of it, seeing as it is total BS. 
 
Regrettably, there's no automatic "if you're a douche, you pay big" button to press in the courts.  But you can sue 'em back, alleging malicious prosecution, frivolous lawsuits, etc., and seek all your costs plus punitive damage.  Apparently the only cure to frivolous litigation is ... more litigation.
