- And finally, When Abrupt Turns and Moves Attack is brought to us this week by Churchman v. Bay Area Rapid Transit District, in which Alice Churchman fell on a subway platform and injured herself. She laid the blame for the fall on the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) District. And how was it to blame, you ask? Per the court, “Several factors combined to create a confusing situation on the platform: the ‘opening and closing of doors on opposite side [sic] of the cars’; partially inaudible and confusing instructions broadcast over the public address system; and ‘abrupt turns and moves’ by other passengers trying to board a train.” Surely not! This is a scenario commonly referred to as, “riding the subway.”
