BMW got owned

My uncle works in the security department on a riverboat casino. Some n00b valet got a BMW on her first night and managed to put the thing in reverse instead of first (reverse is upper left) and launched the car backwards and got it hung up on a rock bank right before the river.
 
Couldn't believe that myself when I saw it on the news. Looks like it's hanging out of an office building, not a parking garage! Heck, I saw footage of it from the other side, on the street, and there's a conventional parking garage just a little down from it if I remember right. Hell, I want to know just what kind of "tap on the gas" the valet gave the SUV to cause it to smash the BMW hard enough to result in that kind of damage and the bumpers entangled enough to keep the car from going all the way out.

Oh, ElFenix's James Bond comment was in reference to Tomorrow Never Dies, when Bond returns his rental car from off the top of a parking garage.
 
Can the owner sue or get some compensation? I always thought that when you valet you agree to their disclamer and are basically SOL if something happens

These kind of disclamers never hold up in court, in fact in my state blanket disclamers are not legal because they are to broad. They at least have to take ordinary care in the legal sense.

Bleep

Yeah, I'd imagine the valet company is going to be buying this poor person a new BMW...and one driver will be out of a job.

Chock another interesting news story up to us here in Atlanta. We provide entertainment for the rest of the country.

Stupid valet people. I mean seriously, valets are a bit of a contradiction, you work hard and let some low life bastige drive your ride? Especially ones as stupid as this valet guy?
