woman suing Fishbone for stage diving-related injury

Correction: waambulance.

blaming Fishbone for your injury is like blaming Shamu for eating that trainer

time to add musical tort reform to obamacare.

no, that's actually a retarded analogy.

buying a ticket to a show doesn't mean its alright for someone to unexpectedly jump into you and fracture your skull. There are ways to crowd surf without breaking people's bones.

at least this guy came from the front, they usually come from the back with their legs dangling, inevitably nailing an unsuspecting person in the head. If you're going to stage dive you should lock your elbows and knees so your appendages don't hit people.

if I get hit by a wayward foot while someone is crowd surfing, i pretend to push them forward but am actually digging my sharp nails into their skin :)

stage dives make me feel more alive then coded messages in slowed down songs!

stage diving is so january 2010...

Yeah I'm pretty sure most of Fishbone don't remember the incident.

stage diving and moshing/slamming or whatever you want to call it whatever is sooo 1983. Move on folks it's so retro you might as well do The Twist...yawn. Dances With Jocks...

Your all assholes...The biggest deuche of all is the women suing fishbone...... What a cunt

♫ whats the story fishbone? ♫

HEY MA AND PA, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YA?

I'd like to bone her fish, if ya get what I'm sayin'!

lol

why is a 42 year old woman at a concert where a performer would stagedive? stay home and watch "dancing with the stars" like the rest of the moms.

maybe she was there to see the english beat? i'm guessing most of their fanbase is around her age.

You can't sue if you gethit with a foul ball at a baseball game, you shouldn't be suing if you attend a show where the singer is known for diving into a crowd....it's like that other cunt who sued McDonalds cause her coffee was too hot when she spilt it all over her lap. Fuckkkkkkkkk offfff

shit, I caught Angelo jumping out of a balcony 20 years ago.

My question: Fishbone is still playing out?

Obviously she had no idea where she was or what kind of band she was seeing. That's what usually happens when someone isn;t familiar with their surroundings or where they are.

I'm not saying that she should have been injured, but she should have done a little research into what kind of concert she was attending so she could be better prepared.

This kind of behavior has been going on for decades. I'm sure that band and/or the venue is well insured against this kind of suit and has some kind of disclaimer on the fine print on the back of the ticket, or on the web where the ticket was ordered from.

maybe she should not have been standing at ground zero during that party ...

she obviously endangered herself but standing near the front and going to concert in the first place. wow, what an idiot.

best wishes to fishbone during judicial process

bonefish.

wow. people who complain about stagediving...just wow. i mean, if you are at a show where there is diving/slamming/moshing, chances are you know beforehand that it's going to be that kind of show. it's akin to going to a SLAYER concert and standing in the middle of the pit and then complaining because you got hit/kicked/shoved/whatever by the gorilla rednecks that tend to go to those shows (i love SLAYER btw). it's just stupid. or complaining about having beer spilled on you at a MURPHY'S LAW show. i hope this fucktarded bitch has a lifetime of medical woes.

To the commenters wishing ill upon this woman, please do us a favor and go play in traffic. But first! Let's use some logic. World Cafe Live is a very sedate venue--I've been there several times, and it's too fancy for punk rock frenzy. I picture the crowd up front enjoying the music of Fishbone, but not moshing. That's why the lady was upfront at that point. All of sudden (to the unwary and inexperienced), Angelo Moore launches himself into the crowd to liven things up. And the injury occurs. There are several iron clad rules of show business, including: give the people what they want. That does not include a fractured skull. If the audience isn't pogoing like no tomorrow, then don't jump on them! Finally, I'm sure if YOUR skull was fractured at a show, you wouldn't be posting triumphantly about it, but meeting extensively with dad's lawyer.

Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at- A_ge_m_i_n_g_le @ c-o--m a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to- interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.

fuck this cunt. it comes with the territory. she will lose!

A broken collarbone, fractured skull, and perforated eardrum from this? Yeah, maybe she should have been more in tune with her surroundings, but that's a lot of damage and I think it's completely appropriate for her to seek remuneration for her medical expenses, at the least. She will not lose.

to 10:12

go play in traffic? are you a high schooler? dad's lawyer? come on, you know you're posting out of your mom's basement in new jersey....it's alright though. that being said, yes world cafe is indeed "too fancy" and not suitable for a "punk rock frenzy" (don't know what that means but i'm pretty sure it isn't fishbone or the english beat but whatever). that being said, this dumb bitch is probably exaggerating. skull fracture? show me the xrays/CT scans. i have been landed on plenty of times and i never got my skull fractured, it takes a lot of blunt trauma/force for that to happen. shit, i have sustained a boot to the head many times from a diver. fuck it. it goes with the territory. the ill will stems from the overly litigious society in which we reside. perf'd eardrum and hearing loss? how much does angelo moore weigh? 200 lbs max? come on! bullshit. she went to some quack MD who specializes in court testimony or some shit. it's all about dat cash! idiot.

Seriously, what is Angelo 150 pounds soaking wet. And he broke her skull? I'm not buying it. Unless the stage was 20 feet off the ground.

Is it possible for you to marinate it over night?

"I'm sure that band and/or the venue is well insured against this kind of suit and has some kind of disclaimer on the fine print on the back of the ticket, or on the web where the ticket was ordered from."

yeah okay..............

F*CK her...............

Truth and Soul is one of the best albums EVER made.

I would not jump so quick to take his lady's claims at face value. She fractured her skull, perforated her ear drum AND broke her collarbone? WTF?? does this not seem like a slightly excessive claim? it sounds like she's just padding her case with a bunch of trumped up bullshit.

I caught Angelo when he slipped on the stairs at Irving Plaza after last years Joey Ramone's Birthday Party, and he might weigh 130 pounds. He's not a big guy. Also, I hadn't seen Fishbone in almost 20 years until that night, and they still put on the same intense, ferocious show...Angelo launching himself into the crowd at will.

My point being, if she was so fragile, then by the 2nd song, she should have known that she was in the wrong place, and backed the hell up. Fishbone should file for dismissal on grounds of Darwinism, or a counter-suit charging that she pay them for being an idiot and endangering Angelo by trying to catch him with her face, not her hands.

Fucking morons, ruining it for the rest of us.

wonder if she had osteopenia or osteoporosis to begin with. if so, even a mild push could have broken some bones. where do you draw the line? on other hand, diving into a crowd is fucking stupid, and fishbone's music sucks anus.

if ur gonna stand up front with ..expect it ???....duh!!!

she should've looked before he leaped!!!

Well if this woman is filed a negligence case against Fishbone, she is going to have to prove that Angelo could foresee that stage diving could cause her injury (Duty of Care), that Angelo didn't exercise his duty (Breach of Duty), his actions are directly related to her injuries (Cause), and the monetary value of those injuries (Damages), e.g., medical bills, lost wages, etc.

There is a big misconception that personal injury lawsuits are easy to win and if you win, their is a big payday involved. The reality is that this is not case (pardon the pun). If there are any holes in this woman's story, chances of her collecting are slim.

What was she doing int he front. I mean if you are at a show where there is diving/slamming/moshing and don't like, stay back.
