BEING STUPID CAN GET EXPENSIVE

By Bob Walsh


Cienna's mother, Heidi Cook, believes the man was part of a group of jumpers, targeting floaters and trying to land close to them as they passed under the Baybrook Bridge

The Baybrook Bridge
 

Back in August some knucklehead did a back flip off Baybrook Bridge over the Boise (ID) river.  He landed on the rear end of a raft, injuring two people in the process.  The two people ended up in the hospital.  The fire department did not bother to take the name of the knucklehead so the injured people, a father and young son, have filed a tort claim against the city for $100,000.  This is a normal, required step prior to filing a suit.  

The jump off the bridge is illegal.  It is a violation of the city code and carries a $100 fine.
