Manage episode 485388078 series 2882353
A lawyer's surprised police aren't taking investigations further, following the death of a Palmerston North teen playing a 'Run it Straight' game.
19-year-old Ryan Satterthwaite suffered a serious brain injury on Sunday participating in the sport - and died in hospital on Monday.
The tackling competition is big on social media.
Lawyer Matt Goodwin says most people participating would know there's a serious risk of injury, even death.
"So in assuming that risk, I think the question is whether it's something that's acceptable."
