?I don?t think she should have been allowed at 16 to go up there and perform that type of jump, no matter what I say or she says, she shouldn?t have been allowed,? Joe Wethington said at the news conference. ?I find it very hard to believe that the rules and regulations in Oklahoma are that lax. I think there is a flaw there somewhere, and I don?t think it?s through the state of Oklahoma. I think it?s the company. I?m not sure.?
So basically, he made a poor choice as a parent, so it is their fault they didn't say no?
He made a piss poor decision and he tied the hands of the company. You tell them to do it, pay them to do it, understand thy can do it, and then try to call it back when the worst happens, even though you commissioned it? I'm all for calling a company down when it skips corners and is negligent with human lives, but that does not seem to be the case here...
Unless some careless malfunction occurred on the side of the company in getting this girl proper equipment and training, I see no reason to point at the company for this one.
We use to do self drive off road trips and many a times I have stopped the vehicle and pulled out paying clients before they were not following instructions or safety regulations. So CO running the show also has responsibility to ensure safety as well, although I'm sure 100s if not 1000s of 16 yr olds jump all the time without any issue.
Any establishment worth its salt with investigate the matter itself to see if any corners were cut.
Now this came close to being a tragedy

True, I suppose it would be best to wait.
I find it odd the father questions why they would let it happen, rather than question if they cut corners or had some real negligence during the event.
