ATTORNEY FILES SUIT AGAINST DUCK BOATS

Only a massive jury verdict will change the way Ducks operates 

It will be up to a Judge and Jury to allow an award of punitive damages. In the Philidelphia Duck Boat Disaster in 2002, the captain of the barge that ran over the Duck boat was criminally charged.

Duck Boats should be banned in their current configuration. The Duck Boats kill on the water and on the land. They operate off of a 1940 chassis. The Duck Boat killed a pedestrian in Philly, in Boston and in Seattle where five exchange students were killed when a mechanical fault caused the Duck to hit a van – they have a spear in the front of the Duck boat and intrudes into the passenger compartment of another vehicle.  Ripley’s is a huge entertainment conglomerate, the parent company of Ripley, Patterson in Canada is a ten billion dollar company and likely has large insurance.  The current Duck should be banned – a new design without a spear, without a canopy and has killed 42 people.

Ride the Ducks International was bought out in December of 2017 and Ripley’s purchased the Branson operation.
