Egad! I wouldn't put up a fence. I'd put an alligator pen between the garages. That'd cut down on law suits too. :D

"The garage owners need to accept responsibility . . ."
How about the parents accepting responsibility for raising a slack-jawed troglodyte that would attempt to jump off a 6 story garage? Some people should just NOT breed!

Bad form.
There's nothing wrong with youthful idiocy generating a self-destructive urge to do something clearly dangerous just for the thrill of it. I did. Got hurt doing it too. Who did my parents sue? Nobody. They waited for me to get out of the hospital and then they beat the shit out of me. Like any good parent would.
The slack-jawed troglodytes are the parents who are after money and the local community who are deluded into thinking that a fence is going to curb the perfectly normal thrill-seeking self-destructive urges of their kids.
Who cares if these worthless turds die! Chalk one up for the Darwin Awards!

"There was a very, very short length of fence that was completely ineffective in preventing this from happening," D'Assaro said. "
Yeah.. no way the potential 6 story fall alone should be enough /rude
What a load .. no matter what anyone does stupid people are still going to find ways to do stupid shit.

The garage owner should put up a more effective fence, especially if this is a recuring problem, which if you read the article is the issue-that this isn't the first future organ donor to go 'Jackass' over the ledge.
However, I think the little 'tards that make the fence neccisary should be the ones who foot the bill for it. Start fining the kids that do this crap-bein' stupid is what it is, but put up the money for the crap we have to do to protect you in spite of yourself.
No, I don't know how that would work. It would just be the ideal.

Darwin darwin lol
DO NOT BRING UP CHARLES DARWIN. THE MORON DID NOT DIE, THEREFORE NATURAL SELECTION HAS FAILED. IF ANYTHING, DARWIN IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE
If this lawsuit spends more than 30 minutes in the legal system, I will lose all previously held faith in humanity. Of course, that's not a lot.
Who cares if these worthless turds die! Chalk one up for the Darwin Awards!
But they didn't die, that's unfortunate.
However, the parents would be better candidates.

It's too late for the parents, They've already produced offspring. If they died, it's really unimportant. Again, Darwin rolls in his grave.

Impliment a stupid tax to cover the costs of these new fences.

You know what would send a message? Since the parents have denied responsibility for the actions of their idiot, and said idiot is incapable of making rational decisions (like NOT jumping over an 80' drop) he should be taken away from his parents and put in an asylum.

Yes a 'Stupid' tax should just about cover it. And the garage owner is not responsible for the actions of these idiots.

indeed. a fence just adds interesting technical aspects to the challenge.

Or they'll find another way to risk their lives. Like clinging to the roof of a moving car.

When this kid moves out he should have to pay a Moron Tax. Then every year for the rest of his life he will be reminded about how stupid he once was. That will hopefully remind him to raise his kids not to be as retarded as him.

The kids aren't the problem here. I did way more dangerous shit when I was in middle school and high school than try to clear 6-story drops. The problem here are the parents with the dollar signs in their eyes. They think that they can cash in on the youthful impulsive stupidity of their children by suing everyone who doesn't parent their children for them.
If I were that kid that fell, my parents sure wouldn't have sued the town. They might have politely asked the town to consider putting up higher fences to prevent future morons from being as boneheaded as me, but they certainly wouldn't have sued. They would have just waited for me to get out of the hospital, beat my ass, then put me to work painting the house, since I liked the thrill of being up so high. That's what parenting is.
The kids aren't the problem. Kids are going to find ways of almost killing themselves no matter what we do to prevent it. The problem is parents who think they can make some quick money by suing everyone who doesn't anticipate the trouble their kids will get into.
I'd say a Moron law would be more effective... If, as an example, you sued someone and it was clearly your own fault, you'd be banned from suing people for a duration of 10 - 50 years, depending on how grossly stupid you were.
Oh, and in addition you could toss in a ยง saying that the suer would have to pay the sued the amount of money that those kinds of lawsuits usually settled on... Would make people a lot less keen on suing anyone for anything ;) The next time some jerk tried to sue over a spilled cup of hot coffee (the HORROR! I actually got HOT COFFEE!) they'd have to pay a couple of million instead of getting all that $ for free.
Oh, and I'd second New Foxxinnias idea as well - but why not combine 'em? :D
