I can only guess its because of the fear of getting sued for sexual assault. The details of the story unfortunately dont matter, many folks just read the headlines and theyll just remember "helping them will get you sued"
The difference was far smaller than i anticipated, so im mildly relieved. Hopefully, should i be right, we manage to dispell these fears
Pretty sure the article is satire. Here's something similar from Snopes. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cassidy-boon-drowning/
From the original article: "I could have died peacefully, but now I am living a nightmare; I was sexually assaulted in broad daylight by the only person who was sober at the party; what are the chances?.”
I can not believe what I'm reading... I mean.
That must be an embellishment or something (I read the qoutes, but still, really!?). How can you be so ungrateful and ignorant at the same time?
Also, that has to be an exceptionally rare case.
It's satire.
Like the Onion. Or the Babylon Bee.
Oh thank god
The difference is 7% in a public place. To me that's really high.
I assumed itd be triple that.
It's Canadian research, is the situation in Canada re: suing each other the same as in the US? I don't know much about that aspect.
Would be interesting to see similar research somewhere with few personal injury lawsuits (like NZ, where anyone injured by CPR is already covered by universal no-fault accident insurance).
