Taking Personal Responsibility to new lows.
Recent review of Lazy Days RV Park in Florida has the park getting a 1 out of 10. Reason, the reviewer broke their ankle. Did they break their ankle because the park had carelessly left equipment ...

First off in the "responsibility" category, why do you feel as if the reviewer owes anyone an explanation for being on the hill. Sounds to me like it was a part of their site. An attitude like this is just as bad as the one you're complaining about.
Secondly, where did it say that the hill was off limits and/or why imply that there was a sign to warn this person (or anyone else) about the danger of being on said hill? Its not like they stated that jumped over the fence, ignored the warning signs, and went on an authorized hike.
You can cherry-pick all you want, but the OP on this thread felt as if the reviewer owes an explanation for being on a hill (ie, their campsite). The OP also implied that there were warning signs which were ignored. Note that I didn't condone the review and found it to be very petty, so take your hostility elsewhere. And we don't have an "entire" generation of people who cannot take responsibility for their actions. That's stereotypically false. There have always been these people. I talked to 2 separate people in their 60's a while back who about a dying tree in their backyard. It was a large oak tree and the homeowner felt as if the previous owner should have been responsible for removal of the tree prior to selling the home. The other person was right there agreeing all along. There's a large contingent of people who grew up in the 1960's that can't rub two neurons together long enough to even spell "responsibility".
But since we're on the topic and playing devil's advocate, what if the reviewer broke their ankle because they slipped and fell on a slippery ramp, or a mess left in the bathhouse, or a faulty set of steps. Would their review not be more palatable now?? They would have injured themselves because the campground management/ownership failed to maintain a facility free of hazards. Is the back lawn of a campsite not also part of the campground facilities??
Alas, that's what insurance is for.
