Saw this story today on the TV.

A family went to Hawaii on vacation.

They took a whale watching trip on a large boat. When they came across a group of whales the father put his son on his shoulders to get a better look....

The whale hit the boat and the child was thrown down against the boat and suffered a head injury. He was airlifted off the ship by the Coast Guard but was pronounced dead two hours later.

A woman, a registered nurse went to the aid of the child and performed CPR until the CG came.

The parents of the child have filed a lawsuit against the owners of the ship for not having the proper equipment- a cervical collar and because no one from the ship's crew came to his aid.

They also accused the crew of being negligent.

The grandfather, who was also on the trip, claimed the lawsuit was 'not about money, It's to make sure that someone if held responsible for the accident...'

Although this is a tragic incident, the story left me with a sense, of people not realizing that there is nothing in life that is safe.

People, time and time again, do not think about the chances that something may go wrong during any activity that they try in life.

Thoughts?
