Answer: Foreseeability.
Atm 4:50 pm For One Ph ABC5 Storycon hosts: On Ateneo basketball players deaths in open water training: In Law, whether or not it was an “accident” depends on foreseeability (was it foreseeable there would be rip currents, etc. etc. and what decisions were made based on foreseeability etc).
Was it foreseeable that there would be rip currents? Yes, the resort is called Hermanos Leisure Farm and Surf Camp. Surf. It’s a surf camp.
Also, interview of players showed the coach even gave them pointers on what to do during rip currents sweep.
Mediocre police should stop using the word “accident” because of its misleading connotation. In all cases involving human action, stop using the word “accident”. All. Ever.
