Mr Gerstner said: "We believe what goes in, must come out again. People get stuck all the time - that's one of the unfortunate things that happen, it's part of the adventure."

However, he said the caves would consider more stringent measures for those entering.

Ya think?!?!?

It is one thing when something unexpected happens, but they saw this coming since they warned her before letting her go in.

I understand wanting to be politically correct and not “discriminate” against anyone, but sometimes people are just too big, too small, too stupid, too weak, too old, too young, or too “something” for the activities they want to do. That is life.

Being told you are to big isn't discriminating against you, its no ones fault but yours that you are extreamly large. At least she didn't complain "Man these caves are too small, why don't they make them big enough for normal people?!" like we hear on airplanes all the time....

I would like to argue the fact that it is my fault im big, I cant sit on a bus with my legs in front of me because i am to big for the seat, not too fat, to big, and im not sure how thats my fault. I have to sit in the isle seat with my legs going into the isle. On the other hand though if I was told I was to big for a cave, then yea I wouldnt go in it, nor would i think they were discriminating agianst me.

You know... there really should be a law that just lets darwinism do it's thing... laws protect people too much.. especially those too stupid to recognize an obvious limit in their ability

Bu-But if there where such a Law I wouldnt be allowed to play paintballand then I would cry and live a truly meaningless exsistance. =(

Though I do see your point and do in fact agree!

[Schmitti]

Why the hell wouldn't you be allowed to play.... you obviously haven't fallen over dead or shot your self in the face or done something else stupid on the field that has gotten you killed.... or have you come close and you need to share a story or two?

NAAH But I have come close to loosing my temper with cheaters and once had to be drug half off a feild bya ref becouse I was so far gone I was walking threw a string of paint to beat the crap out ofa guywith my 16ounce Molycrome tank. My lil disjoiner was more along of the line of "Limitatoins and ability" I am of very limited help on the field and my skills are quite limited=P

Okay, we were not talking about peoples size (In length, assuming thats what you are talking about.) by saying big, we just didn't want to use the word "fat". Too many times have we heard someone who is obviously never tried to lose weight complain about facilities.

I'm sorry but I busted out laughing with a mental image of what happened here...

One rescuer was able to climb over the woman to deliver insulin to the diabetic.
