Public transit commuters in the Netherlands will get the chance to re-live some playground fun now that the final piece of the renovated Overvecht railway station is in place: a slide.

    We're Dutch, we don't do lawsuit.

    When you break your leg on something like this (or the stairs next to slide), you go to the hospital, costs are covered. If you can't go to work, you use sick days that are paid, except for the 1st one.
    There is NOTHING to sue over. Sorry.

    Except for things the human body shop can't find replacement parts for, i.e. eyeballs and frontal lobes.

    You still do not sue the company who build it, nor the city who placed it. You would not stand a chance.
    We call that "personal responsibility and common sense". You don't HAVE to take the slide, you know, and when you do, you do that out of your own free will, knowingly taking the risk of "losing an eye", as you like to call it.

    When an accident happens, you get compensated for your losses. Your car gets fixed, your hospital stay is paid for, the hours you miss at work are paid for. We don't have a "sue for massive amounts of money because I am emotionally hurt"-culture. We are too down to earth. Own your shit. It is really that simple.

    If you do not want to risk breaking a leg on a slide, DON'T GO ON THE DAMNED SLIDE.

    It's just that there is nothing to sue, since you don't lose any money if you break a leg. We just don't have that "I don't get my way so now I sue for $1M"- culture...
