Woman Sues Airline For Skateboard Injury

by The Editors on July 26, 2010

A woman who claims she was injured when a skateboard fell on her from an overhead compartment is suing US Airways, according to a story in the Chicago Sun-Times.

The lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court doesn’t spell out how Diana Burgess was injured on the August 2008 flight. . . It only states she “suffered physical and emotional trauma” after the airline “permitted a passenger to board and place a dangerous instrumentality in the form of a large, heavy skateboard with appurtenances in the form of attached, heavy sharp metal wheels in a position of danger to fellow passengers, without security in such a manner,” the suit states.

Heavy, sharp, medal wheels? Sounds more like a prop from Rollerball.
