Obstacles, Collisions & Liability
Back in 2011, in the lovely northern NSW town of Old Bar, the locals were having a festival. Someone put up a Ferris wheel at the end of the local airstrip’s runway. An aircraft crashed into it and while no one was hurt physically, legal action ensued. A child riding on the Ferris wheel was awarded some pretty significant damages in some interesting legal ways.
