I think personal responsibility only applies to the people who sign up to participate in my dangerous contest. I am not responsible for running a contest that adheres to any sort of safety standards. I won't do everything I can to inform my participants of the risks involved. If they don't understand the risks then that lies 100% on their personal responsibility. There is no point and there never will be a point where people who organize these contests are ever held to any sort of standard or regulation.

The real point is that the girl was personally responsible and the ultimate risk was death from choking and she did pay the price. Can't pay a higher price than dying rom your actions.

The complication is that the school shares some of that responsibility and thus must pay a price too in the many millions range, because they were clearly negligent. There were a long list of things they could have done to reduce risk and they didn't.

Personal responsibility applies to more than individuals. It can also apply to large organizations that host events resulting in wrongful death lawsuits. Believe it or not, but these types of accidents are avoidable for many reasons and some of that responsibility lies with the organizers of the event.

Why do people want groups/organizers/corporations to do whatever they went without being held liable when contributing to a death?
