That is callous and in poor taste, if anything is. Have some empathy, you're talking about someone who is no longer walking this good Earth.

sad mon.......mi hate hearing this.......ugh

the ambulance going up to Rick's was almost a daily afternoon occurrence this past Winter....
mi can hear it from mi apt..... and in one five day period mi heard it go by every afternoon around sunset....
hard to believe but tru...some may have been car accidents...but usually it had to do with Rick's
they have more than their share of accidents and being people getting hurt up there......
so mi pretty sure Rick's is fairly prepared for this by now.......

Rick's probably pulls in more money than all the other bars in Negril put together.....

And the fact that he was not in the first world has sweet f all to do
With what happened. I find your response highly offensive and hope
For your sake nothing as tragic or accidental happens to anyone you care about.

Sorry that this thread has taken on this kind of tone, MMoffat.

I think since this board is read by friends/family of this young man....we could be a little more respectful & less judgemental of this horrible tragedy.
Especially since none of us were there & most of us have done things that we are lucky to have gotten out of safely.

There are sooooo many reasons I hate going to Ricks. Let's add another one to the list.

Bnewb- please do not apologize. Some ppl
Show their true colours in a few words.

Westenders- you are so right about the terms "first world, third world"
I should have used quotes to show I was referring to Newfie's statement
I was just emotional at the time.

Had I typed what I was truly feeling I probably would have been
Banned from the board.

My heartfelt condolences to the family, may your heart and soul find peace and comfort.

A beautiful boy of 26 has lost his life and a circle of family and friends is devastated, totally broken. The boardie inquiry and finger pointing judgement should be held in another court.

Peace

Thank-you Fargoman !!!
Well said .. wonderful thoughts & words

Yes this poor young man used poor judgement in attempting a back flip but honestly who hasn't exhibited poor judgement at one point or other in their lives. Truly tragic accident :(
Once again though, where the hell was the ambulance???
