Having said that, I would think Red Bull would have the courtesy to help out those with severe injuries. But then again, those with severe injuries should have some kind of insurance before participating in such events.
Why is it that kids these days participate in risky behavior without thinking of the consequences and making plans for the future?

Yeeeup, so theres no reason to boycott Red Bull.
But everyone should boycott the "Mills" malls chains (Potamca Mills is the one by me), they are the malls that most of the Vans Skateparks were in and they didnt renew the lease, thats why some of the Vans parks had to close (like the one in Woodbridge, VA)
R.I.P Vans!
