Some Cities Limit Sledding Due to Liability Concerns

Dubuque, Iowa is moving ahead with an ordinance banning sledding in all but 2 of its 50 parks based on liability concerns and demands from the city’s insurer.  In the past decade, there have been sled injury verdicts of $2M or more in Omaha, Nebraska and Sioux City, Iowa.  Several cities have started banning sledding, while other post signs warning of the risks.  ABC News has the story.
