I find it hard to comment from the limited information available. It is noticeable that it was the staff in charge on the day who found themselves in the dock. Typically these are quite lowly paid individuals enjoying a season working in the sun. I wonder what policy guidance they had received from Sunsail?

Anyone seen this? One of the very few cases of death by entrappment, but Sunsail have actually been found guilty of 'gross negligence'.

Something tells me that quick release harnesses might be rushed through a lot quicker than expected, also are we to see a knock-on effect with Sunsail and other such companies placing restritions on who they hire trapeze boats to, or even whether they continue to provide trapeze boats in the light of this ruling?
