"Two years ago, William Kim Flint was killed on his bicycle as he allegedly tried to beat a Strava speed record. This morning, his survivors say they plan to file a negligence lawsuit against San Francisco-based Strava, claiming Strava are responsible for ensuring the crowd-sourced routes are safe.
Strava users upload GPS tracks to the popular service for cyclists and runners to compare their times against themselves and other users. Cyclists create segments to compare themselves against other cyclists who ride the same portion of a route. Since Flints death in June 2010, some people believe Strava encourages people to ride recklessly so they can improve their rankings on Strava.
Flint was apparently going for a new record on South Park Drive in the hills east of Berkeley, California when he slammed into a car, and speculation began almost immediately that Strava might share part of the blame.
Strava has no comment on the pending litigation . I wonder if their risk management planned for a lawsuit like this?"
I really hope the judge has at least one ounce of common sense if this gets to court. Retards
