The family of a 28-year-old Mexican woman killed while tandem
hang-gliding is suing the instructor who was given five moths in jail for
causing her death, as well as the sports governing associations.
The organizations are alleged to be endangering the public by not ensuring that
launch and flying sites are chosen, constructed and operated in a safe manner.
The plaintiffs also claim the groups have demonstrated a wanton and callous
disregard for public safety by failing to ensure the public is advised that
the inherently dangerous activity of hang gliding is being undertaken without
government regulation, supervision and/or oversight.
They are accused of mandating and/or promoting and/or encouraging hang glider
operators to conceal and/or not openly discuss hang gliding incidents that
result in injury and/or death…
The suit names William Jonathan Orders, business associate Shaun Wallace, their
company Hurlstone Ventures Inc. (D.B.A. Vancouver Hang Gliding), the Hang
Gliding and Paragliding Association of Canada, the B.C. Hang Gliding and
Paragliding Association, the West Coast Soaring Club, ABC Company, John and Jane
Doe.
