“But I was *hurt*, Seán.”
Another absolute gobshite chancer who helps to limit the ability for literally anything remotely unique to exist in Ireland through extortionate insurance and the like. Delighted she gets nothing
Tough at the top, worse at the bottom
Thankfully they didn’t win or indoor climbing in Ireland would be dead.
You sign all sorts of waivers saying that it’s a dangerous activity and you can get hurt doing it.
RIP The Wall, no more climbing gyms in south Dublin 😭
Every climbing facility I’ve ever been to requires a very comprehensive waiver form to be signed before climbing for this very reason.

Stupid entitled greedy asshole. Even if they are thankfully getting no money, this will still affect wall climbing for others.
2.6 million. What a fucking dose. Good on the judge.
Edit. I am an idiot.
Glad he didn’t get anything in this case.
Just out of curiosity, how come there are very rarely any news articles written about people with genuine and successful insurance claims?
Reading that, it sounds mad that it got that far – seems like a chancer, happy she lost the claim tbh. It’s like sticking your hand in a fire and then being shocked you got burnt
She’s a brit btw
“while Yates made a good functional recovery, she reports continuing symptoms including stiffness, cold sensitivity around the metalwork, and reduced running tolerance.”
Replace metalwork with joints- this all happened to me between 2018 and 2026 too, but I put it down to me going from my 20s to my 30s.
She should be made to pay costs.
This is why we can’t have nice things.
You take part in these activities at your own risk. It’s people like this that ruin it for everyone else by making claims and bring huge insurance costs to facilities that cater to these activities.
Honestly, some people should just play checkers.
What a fucking chancer
Correct judgement.
There has to be large proportion of self responsibility with this type of thing, she knew what she was doing, knew the risks.
Another chancer trying to take advantage
We really are turning into a nanny state with all this litigious behaviour.
> The judge noted the indoor bouldering climbing facility has since closed.
well there we go.
This sub is just becoming *The Irish Times* subscription sub. Can’t wait to get that JBL speaker….
Wankerage like this is why, when I intro a friend to bouldering, they pay €25 a pop for a college student to explain what I previously explained myself just fine.
I hope he learned a lesson.
If she thought being allowed to climb a wall without training was worthy of a claim I’d love to see her reaction to going skiing.
They let you loose onto the side of a mountain so long as you paid to be there.
Does anyone know if the climbing facility closed specifically because of this entitled cunt? The article does not say.
So the facility is closed. More than lolely because of this clowns lawsuit
A risk assessment? A big fall is probably the main risk and the only way to mitigate for it is a harness or shut the place down.
