Reporter Files Lawsuit Against Ski Resort After ZORB Accident
Rebekah Metzler, a news reporter from Maine, is suing a Maine ski area resort after she broke her back in 2008 while riding inside a giant ball down one of the resort’s ski trails for a story. Philly.com reports that she suffered permanent injuries after riding inside the ZORB that went out of control on a ski trail.
ZORB riding (also known as globe riding) is a fairly new extreme sport. It offers the experience of rolling down a hill while strapped in a large inflatable globe.
In addition to accidents such as this ZORB accident, often, serious injuries occur at ski resorts. The National Ski Areas Association (NSAA) reports that injuries including paralysis, serious head injuries such as a traumatic brain injury (TBI), and other ski-related injuries occur about 43 times a year. In 2009, there were about 16 serious ski accidents as well as 23 snowboarding accidents at ski resorts.
Anyone who has been injured in a serious skiing accident should seek the advice of an experienced personal injury attorney, who can advise them on their legal options. Personal injury accidents include many types of injuries, such as burn injuries, brain and spine injuries, slip and fall accidents, and more.
