Didn't see it coming.

What do we make of this girl who was struck in the eye (and possibly blinded) by a wayward shot at the Ryder Cup and is now - according to the media - considering suing the organisers for damages.  Dredging up my ancient legal knowledge, I'm sure there used to be a latin tag - I think it was "volenti non fit injuria" which means if you knowingly and voluntarily put yourself in a position of potential danger, you have no case if that danger happens and you are injured as a result.  Of course a lot of things have changed since then, so it will be interesting to see how this pans out.
