    We had something similar in NZ years ago where a convict had an accident while escaping from prison and was able to get compensation (we have a nationalised accident compensation corporation, so all manner of falls, broken wrists and bathroom slips get taken care of so the immediate care and follow-up physio etc are supported, if not fully funded).

    I can’t imagine that’d succeed nowadays as it certainly raised eyebrows, but I still find it funny
