What a joke.

How dare someone not hold someone else's hand when they try out a new route. Frivilous.

Insane! Only in america. Sure wouldn't want anyone to take responsibility for his or her own actions. Poor guy was led astray by times posted on a site and got killed. Seems to me they ought to just sue the inventor of computers, no, wait, watches, the inventor of watches, no wait, sue whoever invented time, yea! That's whose fault it is. Without time he/she never would have been tempted. Eliminate time and end of problem. My wife would also stop always being late. Lots of advantages with no time.

Totally ridiculous! How about holding the person that did the damage accountable? Or is the real reason for strava's being sued because they have deeper pockets. Same reason gun companies are sued when someone is shot. Stifles or muzzles innovation,

Muzzles innovation. Good one!

I really hope this gets tossed out long before it ever gets to court. :nod

strava is the youtube equivalent for the common sense challenged.

I was wondering if this would ever happen.

Don't know the whole story and if the rider was being reckless but what I think:

Riding hard within your limits and with regard to the environment around you is more impressive and SAFER than riding crazy like blowing through lights and stop signs to get your name at the top of a list.

Be safe guys!

Their new commercials were well done. They were the only commercials I didn't fast forward through while watching TDS off the dvr.

the problem isnt "america"
the problem isnt necessarily the family of the deceased.

the problem is the thousands of money-hungry, manipulative attorneys looking to exploit an unfortunate situation for their own monetary gain.

This is just as simple-minded and ridiculous as blaming Strava for the accident.
