As asinine as this contest may have been, it was her decision to participate. If she can't be expected to be responsible for herself, why should these guys be responsible for her?

Answer honestly. Did you know that drinking too much water could kill you before this? I doubt she did either.

If whatever release she signed didn't include to possibility of sudden death, (which I doubt the idiot DJs or the program manager had a clue of) their ass is grass. And way would a radio station put people's life at risk if they had a clue they could possibly cause multiple deaths? They did not know what they were doing. They put multiple people at risk. Only this one woman died. It could have been more.

The DJs announced that they didn't give a shit, so their ass should be mulch.

Truthfully, I really didn't know this. However, I survived drinking at least two gallons of Konigsbacher Pils in a three hour period. I was hungover the next day, but it was damn fine beer.

There was another night (12/30/79, to be exact), where I lost count after 12 shots of Jagermeister (and continued on for a few more hours) and several litres of Holsten Pils, and I survived that.

Accordingly, I would not have been too concerned about the possible effects of water intoxication. Lucky me (for not being able to participate in this contest)!

Actually, yes, I did. I would have thought that this was common knowledge by now, especially in the No Cal area, as there was a very, very public case against a Chico State fraternity a couple of years ago where a pledge died from exactly the same thing.

I'm not saying that these DJs weren't idiots, but I refuse to absolve a grown woman of responsibility for her own health and well-being. She should have known better. If the DJs had sponsored a Russian Roulette contest, would we still say they are solely responsible for her death?

And don'y worry, in today's litigious society, there is no way her family is not going to get a huge payout from the radio station.
