Entercom Station May Hold Some Responsibility for Woman’s Death

KDND radio, the station that sponsored the Hold Your Wee for a Wii contest that resulted in a woman’s death, may have some responsibility for the death, according to personal injury attorney Timothy O’Connor.

Entercom’s KDND/The End Sacramento held a contest to see how much water participants could drink without taking a bathroom break, and a young woman died of water intoxication.

O’Connor says that despite the fact that contestants signed a waiver, the waiver is meaningless, because “waivers deal with the risk of an activity. Nobody drinks a glass of water and thinks, ‘This can kill me,’” writes Radio Ink. “So, if you say in a waiver that if you die in this activity you cannot sue us, that waiver is meaningless,” O’Connor says.
