Nope, All liability lands on the driver/owner.
When Leno went upside down in the Hemi underglass, you think Jay would be liable for the drivers injury, if he was injured?:rolleyes:
No difference if you had a facebook page and posted ride alongs of friends hotrods.
He wrecks and injures somebody and you, do you think your liable?
I think Judge would think different, or you better hope so.
Owners car, owners liability, show or not.
Leno's crash didn't hurt people outside the vehicle. Did Leno's accident happen on the street? There's those pesky reasons behind why and where it was done that way, and Leno is an old pro at this, not some amateur trying to 'get more views'.
What you're saying is like saying that they had an accident filming Predator and helicopter landed on your house and messed it up and hurt you inside it, and only the pilot is liable.
Nope.
The production company is liable. They were filming a show, and the people filming the show had a responsibility to make sure the vehicle was operated in a safe manner. Ergo, the dipshit who pushed for 'views' over safety: just as liable as the rest of the chuckleheads running that outfit.
Let me posit this:
Why do you think they made another video about it?
Apology to minivan driver?
Nope.
Public service announcement?
Maybe. See below.
Announcement of change in policy to prevent further tragedy?
Nope.
MORE VIEWS.
What's the last thing he says in the video? Sorry to Minivan Driver?
NO.
"Thanks for watching the show. Thanks for help us in continuing to grow the channel. BLAH BLAH BLAH." I know where his priorities are.
Or did he voluntarily demonetize the follow-up video?
