Worship Casualties: Who speaks for the injured?
Seems this is happening more and more.
I just found out about a case where a 400 lb lady "fell out", hooking a wheelchair on the way down, flipping the elderly occupant out and broke her hip.
A year or so ago an acquaintance of mine broke some bones in an isle running spree.
I have heard of several other injuries recieved while engaging in various forms of shockamoo.
Who is at fault? Are churches insured against high risk "Out Of Body" experiences?
If we encourage radical worship styles are we accessories in crime? Who is really responsible for these injuries?
Is it just one of those unavoidables? Just a cost of doing church?
I wonder if my health insurance covers me even if I attend something like the "Running of the Bulls"?

I don't know of anyone that ever got injured in my church. I do know of a hole that was put in the wall by one woman worshipping that way.

Re: Worship Casualties: Who speaks for the injured
 Good points Hoovie.
I'm all for the argument that David danced before the Lord with all his might, but he appearently still knew what he was doing.

Re: Worship Casualties: Who speaks for the injured
I've always wondered how you explain it at the emergency room.

Just blame the devil for putting that object that you collided with in the way.

Thanks NOW. I forgot - we have hashed this in the past.
