Tragic that a life was lost but these types of lawsuit irritate me.

Agreed.
Seems like a classic Assumption of Risk situation to me...do something incredibly stupid and dangerous, be prepared to pay the price...and don't expect to hold someone else accountable. Don't get me wrong...I DO feel bad for Kevin Ward and his surviving family...surviving the impulsiveness and recklessness of youth is definitely not a given. I did, but that wasn't a given either---there were times I cut it very close, and there were times I was downright lucky. Some of you may well fall into that category as well.
But, bottom line, this poor kid, a hothead at precisely the wrong time, had no one to blame but himself..
