    Hey Legs, you can't sue if you wanted them to grow.
    Bugger.

    But I did break a nail last week. What about that?

    Re: Cadet and MoD settle injury case

    Was a suitable risk assessment carried out by a competent person? - No

    Was a briefing given to the cadets (children) before the exercise was undertaken? - No

    Did one of the children suffer an injury which could have been reasonable foreseen? - Yes

    Then get your f*****g hand in your pocket a pay out you bunch of scuffers!

    Simple eh?

    this is going to kill one more activity for the Cadets due to greed and more paperwork for us Adults, are you surprised that some Adults find it easier not to organise an activity ?

    Jesus ! she looks like a village Mong, not being nasty or PC etc, but she does look to me like a council estate gold digger. Badly maintained teeth, complexion and general demeanor.

    I hardly noticed the scar at first also it begs the question, why did it take her so long to claim ?

    ACF Scotland does seem to have a problem with training safety and maintaining a duty of care to its cadets. If they're not being injured in rock falls, then they drown them in the Hebrides
    I haven't read the full accident report (which you can get from the above link), but I understand the ACF officer was not fully qualified and failed even to carry out a headcount, which alone could have saved Kaylee's life. He obviously left his red book in the Mess that day. Good night in the bar, sir?

    Most UK Bdes have a Training Safety WO on the establishment whose job amongst others is to provide the world's supply of risk assessment templates, including that for TR&A, which I take it was what the cadets were doing. When County HQ submitted their greenfield form (application to mount an exercise) the risk assessment should have been attached, and a recce carried out.

    Anybody been disciplined or resigned I wonder?

    Any ACF Scotland AIs wish to comment?
    No plan survives the first contact.

    I don't think it is appropriate to comment further until the Inquiry has concluded, I think the inquest has been held but the Inquiry to the incident is still ongoing.
