| Abstract/Contents: | Describes a lawsuit "over the mandatory use of alternative spikes." Explains that amateur golfer J. Mark Jenning's shoes were "refitted...with Softspikes' original swirl designed plastic cleats" at a golf course. States that "while playing at a nearby course two weeks later...Jennings slipped and broke his ankle." Explains that "Jennings has filed a $75,000 lawsuit against the company and the club that inserted the plastic spikes." Discusses similar cases, the company's "claim that no direct connection exists linking such injuries to the plastic cleats," and the safety warnings provided by the company. Concludes that "the handful of injury lawsuits has left spikeless company officials scrambling to maintain that their technology is not to blame for a few unfortunate accidents." |
