Sidebar<\/strong> gets numerous search strings about “broken foot” lawsuits. This is the worst broken foot story<\/a> I \u2014 whose fifth metatarsal broke on a segment of bad sidewalk \u2014 have ever read:<\/p>\n

It was a stunt that Daniel Curry had performed many times before in the Broadway musical \u201cSpider-Man: Turn Off the Dark\u201d<\/a>: Plant himself firmly on a hydraulic lift in the pit beneath the stage, then remain steady as he rose a dozen feet to emerge for the start of Act II.<\/em><\/p>\n

But on the night of Aug. 15, something went wrong. Mr. Curry, giving his first interview since that performance, said he felt the lift moving as usual as the \u201cSpider-Man\u201d score swelled. He couldn\u2019t see, though that was normal, too, because he wore a blindfold, and the stage was dark. Then, in a split second, something solid pressed down against his right foot, then crushed it. His foot had become trapped<\/a> between the lift and the stage.<\/em><\/p>\n

You will cringe more than once when you read the whole story. But you will not cringe cynically because Daniel Curry is suing. If there was ever a “great” lawsuit (and I know I’ve mentioned that to lawyers a “great” personal injury lawsuit is one in which the client is brain-dead), this is it. My heart goes out to Daniel Curry who will never dance again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
