DOVER, N.H. — A New Hampshire high school student shocked so severely in shop class that his heart stopped beating is suing his teacher, the school district and the city of Dover.

Kyle Dubois and his parents claim teacher Thomas Kelley did not warn Dubois and other students of the dangers of the electrical demonstration cords in their electrical trades class.

On March 11, Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord.

Dubois was critically injured.

The New Hampshire Union Leader says Dubois' suit contends he suffered permanent brain damage.

Kelley resigned from his teaching position about a month after the incident. He declined to comment on the lawsuit

I think they will have a hard time proving the brain damage happened before the shock.

Nipples

Definitely Darwin Worthy!
The parents as well
And their fricking lawyer
And the idiots who made filing such a suit even possible.
(I guess that covers it)

That the event happened is "clear, cogent, and convincing" evidence (the legal standard) that his brain was damaged prior to putting the plug into the electrical outlet.

What's next....the saw was too sharp?

I fully expect a flood of lawsuits from alumni who claim they weren't warned that a WSU degree didn't have the earning potential of other schools.

He needs to actually succeed in killing himself to become a Darwin award winner.

To quote Ron White, "you can't fix stupid". I bet he gets a settlement. When I worked for the Park Service at the coast some idiots got into a tobagan and headed down the steep slope behind the visitor's center at Hurricane Ridge; you know the very steep slope with the old growth trees located just about where you would hit terminal velocity. Well they hit one of the trees and were severely injured and if I recall right, someone died. They sued because there was no sign warning of the dangers of sledding down the slope and got a pretty good settlement.

I got a buddy who runs a little slip and fall practice to supplement his retirement income. He makes a lot of money settling crap just like this. By the way, he is a die hard opposer to any call for Tort Reform.

Indeed. He is only eligible for the Honorable Mention category.

At least he has that going for him.....

And with any luck he sterilized himself in the process.

Go figure.

This must be more of his family.

Reminds me of those guys that would turn off the vents and close the door and sit inside the glue & lacquer room.

You can only imagine the brain cells dying by the second.

Here's what they do on Friday night.

Not surprisingly, I ran into a couple of those guys about 10 years after I* graduated and they were just getting off work as roofers and were buying tallboys of Busch Ice at the quickie mart.





*I, not they.

Speaking of stupid stuff look at this:

the stupid shall be punished
