Jell-O wrestling lawsuit

Lawsuit fun:

A Manhattan judge has thrown out $1 million suit against New York University by a former student who claimed he broke his hip at a Jell-O wrestling dorm party.

Poor kid. He was just trying to be a good, dedicated student. And then one day he was forced to decide to be part of a party he organized called "Beach Bash" and then fell over while playing in gelatin and shattered his hip.

It was the classic "You should have protected me from myself" lawsuit:

Wisnia's 2005 lawsuit blamed NYU for allowing the event and for having the school's food service provide the gelatin.

When you don't want to take responsibility for your own actions, there's always someone to blame. And time and money that can be wasted in litigation.
