Don’t Take Burning Man So Literally

Via Alt­house, at Law.com, a man who

“did not think it was dan­ger­ous to walk sev­en to 10 feet into the fire’ even with flames on either side of him”

can­not sue the orga­niz­ers of the Burn­ing Man event accord­ing to San Fran­cis­co’s 1^st Dis­trict Court of Appeal, even though

Ben­i­nati caught his foot on some­thing, “tripped and fell into the fire twice, bad­ly burn­ing both of his hands.”

It’s nice to know that there is a point at which a per­son is respon­si­ble for their own actions.
