I was married to Andrew for 2 months before his untimely death on 5 August 2007. I'm shocked that there is still nothing being done with regard to safety when visiting this mountain. I don't want to point any fingers at anyone, but when you are running a business or providing a service where people pay you for your services, you have an obligation to make everyone highly aware of the dangers that this mountain poses. I agree with the last "anonymous" comment, why is there no indemnity form? There are no warning signs and no barriers, why??? After 3 deaths...??? I absolutely hate to say this, but what's going to happen if/when this happens to a child, because if 3 adults can accidentally fall and die, then how much more so a child....? What are the implications going to be? What changes are they going to make then? It just saddens me thatJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456649626650092886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339868001376062859.post-20544801238216973882010-07-03T10:50:14.125+02:002010-07-03T10:50:14.125+02:00And now another death.

What real measures have been put in place to prevent deaths after the very first one occured ?? Regardless of pieces of paper, in court the reasonable man theory applies. Due diligence and receiving revenue and not taking active measures to ensure safety. POST a guard there for the day if need be, chain the area off, concrete barriers, salt gritting, etc etc. I've been to the exact spot many times and I am always cautious, but people receiving maonies MUST be held to account for safety !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339868001376062859.post-7687746945742262852009-09-08T11:04:19.672+02:002009-09-08T11:04:19.672+02:00Andrew was a personal friend of mine, so whoever s...Andrew was a personal friend of mine, so whoever said what, Im sure my 'story' was closer to the truth than the rest.<br /><br />Im still concerned about the safety issues, but there is really nothing we can do about it.<br /><br />I dont blame the owners of the farms. An idea is for the people who are charging fees to let visitors onto their property, they should also let them each sign an indemnity form to <br />a) make them aware of the extreme dangers - so that they then have a choice. Most people think they are in safe hands, because its the 'recommended' route.<br />b) take the responsibility off the owners of the farms.<br /><br />Nothing we can do about it. All we can do is hope that nobody else will suffer this terrible fate by trying to pass this message on.<br /><br />kind regards<br />Juanita<br />(Editor)Head of Troublemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13070198960774970987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339868001376062859.post-87258386869791896432009-09-08T10:53:48.540+02:002009-09-08T10:53:48.540+02:00To the ED.

Everyone writing this has a different beginning and ending. And ED, don't bring in the owners of the farm and the monetary values into this. What happened was an Accident! That’s why it’s called an accident. Unfortunately it was his time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
