No. Accidents happen.

Could still be negligent while driving.

Maybe, but you have no proof that anything like this took place in this situation.

As I said, the person who told the kid to get on the left should be held responsible. I just seriously doubt that was Kelly.

You're right. I don't know. I think that's why we disagree. I feel as though he had a bit more responsibility. You don't. Disagreeing is okay. I'm simply surprised based on what I believe that he still is employed there. But I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

Look I see your points as well. I think we can disagree. I'm not saying this was ever the intent of Kelly because nobody would want this to happen. I'm simply saying that this is the type of negligent act that he may have had a duty to monitor. You can say he isn't responsible for having the tower go up, but I disagree. Just by having practice he had a requirement to go up there, and that's due to the coach. And they practiced indoors the day before so Kelly understood the adverse conditions. Not saying he expected this to happen but there is negligence issues here for sure.

I understand your points, as well. Believe me, I'm sure that if he could go back in time, he'd obviously have practice inside. He's not some madman that cares only about winning that he's willing to put managers/cameramen in threatening situations. BK just didn't realize at the time just how dangerous it was. And someone in the video department probably should have told him/told Declan to come down. I mean, I was walking outside all day with no fear of my life, or even minor injury, at all. It would have been unnatural to think the conditions were dangerous, to be honest with you. So that's why someone who was in charge of the video people should have stepped in. I know people that work in the Athletic Department that say (obviously) BK was a mess after the tragedy. I'm sure he'll think about it every day for the rest of his life. And given that it wasn't (in my opinion) direct negligence on his end, I think that's enough "punishment". Again, JMO.
