Palsgraf at the strip club

by Walter Olson on October 16, 2008

The exotic dancer’s shoe flew off during her pole dance, according to Charles Privette, who says he was hit both by the shoe itself and by glass from a broken mirror at the Booby Trap in Pompano Beach, Fla. The club’s manager quoted a paramedic: “I can’t believe you even called us for this!” (Fort Mill Times, Sun-Sentinel, Obscure Store, TortsProf). The title refers to an accident case from 1928, familiar to all law students, in which a chain of unlikely events led to a woman’s injury on a train platform.

This lawsuit should be thrown if you knowingly walk into a “Booby Trap”, you should expect to get hurt.
