"Defense: Ironman triathlete responsible for his own death"

A racer's death during Ironman Florida 2006 heads to court over whether paramedics disregarded their own emergency rescue plans, making the ensuing death "wrongful."

The legal system's involvement in triathlon is vaguely disquieting. I've seen too many public playgrounds dumbed down, swimming pools closed and public spaces restricted, all sacrificed on the alter of "after-the-fact" legal risk-parsing.
