Default Crossbow INjuries

Doing research on crossbow injuries.
Many hunting forums have postings containing conversations about crossbow injuries. If anyone has experienced a crossbow injury, please take a moment to take a quick survey at;

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...Ry1rc29LT2c6MQ

Just the other day at a BassPro in Orlando FL, a 16 year old with his parent went to buy a crossbow. While on the BassPro shooting range the youth fired the Styker crossbow and amputated the top portion of his thumb. This according to the archery department manager. Its just that easy.

Numerous accounts of finger(s) & thumb amputations. A few bolt injuries from strings and or limbs breaking.

This by know means is a "bashing" thread, but for research information. Please serous survey responses.

Thank you,

Would you be inclined to join in on a Class Action Lawsuit if one was brought against the crossbow manufacturer?
  • YES
  • NO
Tells it all right there. I have a question. Say a lawyer is sitting in a law library, knocks his brief case off the table, lands on his foot and breaks two toes.


Who does he sue?


1. law library?
2. brief case mfgr?
3 table mfgr [too high, no rail on edge]?
4. shoe mfgr [leather to thin]
5. all of the above [most likely scenario]?
6. himself for being clumsy/stupid?

This thread is showing up on a lot of forums. I think it should be deleted.

HNI has received a member complaint about this topic. I have already deleted a duplicate topic in the crossbow forum and sent BarnettTerror a PM warning. I have also referred the complaint about this topic and poll to HNI Admin for a final determination. If you have questions, please send me or Admin a PM. You are free to participate in the poll if you'd like (pending Admin's determination on whether this topic violates the rules or not). If you choose not to participate in this poll, please do not post comments about it being a troll as that only keeps the topic at the top of the forum instead of allowing it to drop into obscurity if that is the natural outcome. Thanks for your cooperation in advance.
