Human hockey puck sues organisers
August 10th, 2012 - 8:54 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNashville, Aug 10 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A radio personality in Nashville is suing hockey team the ‘Nashville Predators’ over an alleged injury after their ‘human hockey puck’ stunt.
Radio Presenter Adam Davis agreed to be used by the hockey team in a stunt where he would be put on a sled and pulling him back with a sling shot and throwing him towards bowling pins. The Nashville Predators had been asking Adam to be used for the stunt since December and he had agreed.
They were practicing the stunt when things went wrong and Adam was injured. His right leg got broken. Adam sued the predators under the terms that they lied to him by telling him that the stunt was completely safe.
Adam says that the accident has cost him a lot of mental and physical pain and it has also caused him not to enjoy his life and he is therefore asking or compensation worth 25,000 dollars for his medical bills. The stunt is one which the Nashville Predators use to entertain crowds who come to watch their games but this time it turned out badly as Adam hit the wall instead of going in to the bowling pins. The team did not give any comment when they were asked to give one.
