Local authority successfully defends $5 million quadriplegic diving claim
Moray & Agnew
The plaintiff was a 17 year old boy who, in the company of friends, had been swinging from an improvised rope swing attached to the bough of a tree overhanging the Fitzroy River at a recreational area in Rockhampton, known as the Ski Gardens. On the plaintiff’s final swing he dived head first into the water, striking his head on the river bed and breaking his neck, rendering him a quadriplegic.
