Let’s hope that this David Pfahler pulls a Sonny Bono at some point (sorry Sonny). This guy should not be skiiing. There is a risk involved in sending ones self hurtling down a mountainside. There are all kinds of people out there. This was a seven year old child. I can tell you this, if this guy would have grabbed a kid of mine and cursed and threatened a suit, there would have been hell to pay. Forget the lawsuit, start worrying about survivability.
VAIL — A 60-year-old man is taking an 8-year-old boy and his dad to court, claiming the third-grader caused a ski-slope collision that left the older man with a shoulder injury.
David J. Pfahler of Allentown, Pa., filed suit in Denver federal court claiming Scott Swimm, of Vail, then 7, was skiing fast and recklessly when they ran into each other in January. Pfahler’s suit says he suffered a torn shoulder tendon.Â
The boy told Pfahler he was sorry and started to ski away when the man grabbed Scott’s legs, cursed at him and said he would sue, Robb Swimm told The Aspen Times.
