First, inquiring minds want to know which model it was.

Second, I guess I can buy “facial laceration and contusion”, but I’m calling bullsmurf on “cervical spine trauma [and] disc herniation”.

She probably snapped her head back when it hit her in the face. What's more surprising to me is $14,000 will actually cover her medical costs.

I remember the good old days at Luna Park in Australia.
There was this ribe called the ZIPPER, in which you were locked in a cage that tumbled as it went up and down.

The loose change in my pocket became airborne and rattled around inside the cage for the duration of the ride.
An Australian 50c piece is a substantial coin and they hurt.
My girlfriend at the time was singularly unimpressed.
I lost BOUT $3.00 not an unsubstantial amount in the 70s.
After that I purchased a small change purse and I still carry them today.
tools is what defines us as humans

^^^ This.  Snapping the head back.  Weight of the knife multiplied by speed, it takes a surprisingly small item to whip your head back.  She mentions $14k with more treatment expected, wisely keeping the door open.

The real question is...which one of us was in Nickelodeon world on that same day and has since been missing their Victorinox..hmmm?

Well looking at the photo I think that Victorinox, or even the Swiss government, should sue the woman and her lawyers for falsely calling a pocket knife that is clearly not a Swiss Army knife Knife a SAK.

Could have been worse. If the person with loose pockets had been carrying a Surge the litigation would be being brought by next of kin.

Interesting comparison point here from Australia.

There is a so called 'Bridge-Climb' in Sydney where you can walk over the arches/superstructure of the Sydney Harbour Bridge - which would be pretty fantastic.

I have never done this for a few reasons:
- It is super expensive - hundreds of dollars 
- The walk over the regular footpath at street level is still pretty amazing .... and free   ;) :o :D :tu:
- To do the climb you are practically strip searched and metal detected before you go - No phones and cameras allowed - No backpacks, nothing in pockets etc etc .....And you have to wear these one piece jump suits - I never fancied any of these intrusions into my person! But the reason apparently is to prevent the above situation!

And as an FYI for more details - You are on a walkway - and also clipped into a cable the whole way!!
