He was referring to the Paul Walker incident and how someone else said that people here will sue over anything.

 

Yep, and not just the Paul Walker incident, but any incident that involves stupidity. For instance, a man once started his lawnmower in his basement and carried it upstairs while it was running. I'm sure you can guess what happened there. Well, the guy sued the lawnmower company....and won. When we allow people to sue for such stupidity, you know people are going to take advantage of it. We are teaching people to blame others instead of taking responsibility for their actions.

Most lamp posts arent designed to "shear away". Most are designed to act as goalies and keep the vehicles from leaving the roadway. SIGN POSTS yeah... Lamp poles? uh huh... Might as well hit a brick wall. In fact, a LOT of the objects you see along the side of the road are designed specifically to prevent vehicles from getting passed them.

 

That was my point. One of the wrongful death lawsuits against Porsche was just thrown out.

A judge has reportedly tossed a wrongful death lawsuit filed on behalf of the man who perished with Paul Walker in 2013.

 

Roger Rodas’ widow’s claims that the fatal car wreck was caused by supposed defects in the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT her husband was driving — including faulty suspension and mechanics — were deemed mere “speculation,” TMZ reported Tuesday.

 

Kristine Rodas had reportedly alleged in her May 2014 lawsuit that her husband lost control of the car due to shoddy mechanics, and that the vehicle had exploded on impact because it lacked a proper crash cage and racing fuel cell, a common racecar feature that prevents fuel from igniting on impact.

 

A judge reportedly tossed a wrongful death lawsuit from Kristine Rodas, the widow of Roger Rodas (r.).

But Rodas’ cause of death wasn’t related to fire, the judge apparently argued. The autopsy report obtained by the Daily News in 2014 indicated that Rodas had suffered burns, but ultimately died from blunt head, neck and chest truma.

 

The widow further alleged that the red sports car wasn’t fit to sustain side impact — but the judge pointed out the force that killed Rodas had originated from the front rather than the side.

 

Paul Walker, best known for his roles in the "Fast & Furious," has died in a fiery car crash north of Los Angeles on Nov. 30, 2013. He was 40.

The actor was working on the latest installment at the time of his death. He also starred in a drama called "Hours" which is set to release this month.

 

Porsche had previously blamed Rodas for the crash, which occurred Nov. 30, 2013 after Rodas lost control of the vehicle and crashed it into trees and a utility pole.

 

Rodas, Walker’s buddy and business associate, “chose to conduct himself in a manner so as to expose himself and others to such perils, dangers and risks,” Porsche alleged.

 

The Nov. 30, 2013 crash killed both Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas.

 

The German automaker in November similarly blamed the “Fast & Furious” star for his own death in response to a wrongful death suit filed by his teenage daughter, Meadow Walker.

 

“He chose to conduct himself in a manner so as to expose himself to such perils, dangers and risks, thus assuming all the risks involved in using the vehicle,” said the filing obtained by The News.

 

Walker was 40 when he died.

 

A judge has not yet ruled on Meadow Walker’s lawsuit.

 

Walker’s former “Furious 7” co-star Michelle Rodriguez, one of many who have publicly mourned the actor’s death, recently confessed a surprising regret she felt under the influence of psychedelic plant brew Ayahuasca.

 

“My Ayahuasca trip made me sad that he left me here,” she said in a new clip from the documentary “The Reality of Truth” obtained Monday by TMZ. “It wasn’t a sadness that he’s gone. It was more like a jealousy that he’s there first.”
