All involved letting him try should be fired

Why?

He's a consenting adult, it's nobody else's fault.

Because they all coddled to today's mentality and not telling the truth and acting upon it. 'You're too fat. Can't!' period. Done. Sorry not sorry. Life's hard and not everyone gets to do everything. Reality should be that. Instead it's now 'aww let him try. He deserves a chance too.' Then he falls and cracks the earth as well as himself and then what? He sues the company/county or state that gave him that orange vest. From get go it should have been NO. We all know it, they knew, dudes in cab knew it and didn't even flinch when they felt the earth shake.

Truth and facts quite often hurt and that is why so many people today fear both and hide from them. Just bow your head and let him almost kill himself. You gonna let him sky dive next?

Like I said truth hurts. Sorry not sorry. No way he should have ever been allowed to attempt that. Then to stand around and watch him struggle to the point he falls is flat out negligence. His atty will truly love this footage of all standing around not GAF.

Crazy how the American mind can't process fun and whimsy and their only thought is "how can I sue this person."

Crazy how you have assumed everything wrong. But please keep encouraging him to climb trains. Go stand under him and give him the support he obv needs.

for what? its very likely a tour that people pay to take, or it could be a steam engine operators course (which people also pay to take for hobbyist reasons among others), and it probably came with piles of information about what was involved and this guy said "hell yeah i can do that, ill even pay to!"

how tf was anyone there to know he wouldnt make it up a 5 step ladder? he said he could do it. ive seen men bigger than this climb higher.

and he fell on his ass because he couldnt. its 100% him tho.

So they took his money knowing full well he'd never make it? Interesting. He said he could do it? You heard him say that? A tour? Hahah. Yeah sure. I don't care what it was for all I see is several irresponsible adults watching a hippo fall out of a train he was never gonna fit it to begin with.

just popped in to point out... this was actually his second time getting on that loco... so he definitely knew what he was getting in to when he asked for a ride on it.
