>>Good thing is that [if] anyone is hurt in this scenario it's the idiot. Why worry about it? Because then the idiot or his/her family will sue YOU for the consequences of their stupidity. It happens ALL the time. And even if you win the lawsuit, you lose, because you must defend yourself and your property at the cost of insane amounts of time and tens- to hundreds-of-thousands of dollars. So, even, if you win, you lose. Just because some trespasser was an idiot. Things would change a lot if liability laws were changed so that if you are on someone else's property, the default is that it is at your risk (absent actual intentional man-traps which are already illegal). But this is not the case. >>Fortunately nobody here cares and we are all more happy because of it Yes, that is nice. The laws are different there, and they should be here. But a famous hiking trail in iirc Colorado was recently closed due to liability concerns crossing private property, and someone got sued. When the law was changed, it was again opened up. Just because we want things to be a certain way, does not mean they are that way. Until the REALITY is changed to the better way, do not ridicule people for recognizing and acting on the actual reality. (When it changes, they'll likely change too, and of they don't, then you can ridicule them.)
