ot-ot you can sue anyone. but can you win. in the type of cases you refer to you must prove a breach of duty causing harm. the connection cannot be too remote. see palsgraf v some railroad. it has to be foreseeable. but you are liable if the injured party has a thin scull or is one of the rare people who is allergic. is it too far fetched to find that a gymnast was damaged because the vault was 2 centimeters too low so she performed badly on it and therefore performed badly on the uneven bars as she was upset over her performance on the vault and believed she was out of the running for a gold medal-which is what she was seeking-because of her poor score on the vault. while she was given a do over on the vault, her poor score on the uneven bar remained. but, if she were allowed a do over on the uneven bar, other competitors might feel they were treated unfairly. advertisers and audience may have been considered. the law and the courts can't correct everything. you can't unscramble the egg. sig- your bill for the above is $300.
