Boy jumped to death after playing WoW?

Blizzard faces a lawsuit from Chinese parents, who say World of Warcraft caused the death of their son.
November 18, 2005
In the latest saga over online gaming addiction in China, the parents of a 13-year-old Tianjin boy are suing the makers of World of Warcraft, blaming the game for the death of their son, according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua.
The parents filed a suit against Blizzard Entertainment on Wednesday, saying their son jumped to his death while reenacting a scene from the game, the report said. The parents are backed by the anti-Internet addiction advocate Zhang Chunliang.
Mr. Chunliang has spoken to 63 parents whose children have allegedly suffered from online gaming addiction and plans to file a class-action suit, according to the report.

Wtf?
What scene from WoW?

I think it was...

In Ferelas, you get teleported to this guy on a HUGE mountain who gives you a parachute to use to jump down.

Perhaps the kid tried to use his jumper or maybe an umbrella?

HMMM

I think Blizzard should counter-sue because if the kids parents had of bothered schooling their kid in COMMON FUCKING SENSE. He might not of thrown his body to certain death. Sue them for being sued by them.
