‘Adrenaline junkie’ surgeon who sued McLaren for £14m over brain injuries he suffered in snowmobile crash loses case after texts emerged of him telling staff ‘no worries… s*** happens’

After a snow motorcycle accident, a ‘adrenaline junkie’ neurosurgeon, who sued £ 14 million to McLaren, told the company staff after the accident appeared after the accident: ‘No worry… S *** becomes…[do] I owe you a snow motorcycle ‘.

Andrew Cannestra was wounded more than one while making a career from a forest track in Lapland during a £ 23,000 luxury break with his partner Kaitlin Mealor.

The 54 -year -old neurosurgeon, who specialized in spine surgery, hit a tree after negotiating a forest return and was cold for 30 minutes following the effect on February 2020.

McLaren Automotive Events Ltd claimed that the impact of the accident on future gains exceeded only £ 14 million.

However, the lawyers rejected the crime for McLaren Automotive, and when the guides did their best to provide a safe SKİDOO trip, he insisted that they carefully briefed Mr. Cannestra and his partner.

Rejecting the claim, Mr. Justice Richie said that Mr. Cannestra, which was called ‘addicted to the adrenaline’ by his partner at the time, said that he wanted more speeds’ and ’caused an accident when he accidentally hit the gas instead of brakes’.

The judge, the briefing of his and his partner before riding was enough: ‘Both were in the McLaren ice driving holiday. Adrenaline cannot be indifferent to a driving experience on ice in a super -powerful car. There is nothing wrong with this. Life and excitement and risk is part of it.

He wanted more speed. He had to understand that it would be more difficult and risky to be directed at higher speed. ‘

Neil Block KC – for Mr. Cannestra – he argued that both drivers ‘absolute novices’ were ‘absolute novices’ and that their guides should do more to explain the detailed order of their routes in the forest.

The surgeon fell after a pause on the journey where the guide changed the driver mode, so that the doctor’s snowfall may hit higher speeds.

The effect resulted in brain hemorrhage and severe leg injuries, which caused permanent problems with ‘finding, comprehension, memory and fatigue’ and caused the previous hand tremor.

Although his lawyers said that he ‘continued to work to a limited extent’, Mr. Cannestra, who won about £ 1.8 million a year, had to give up brain surgery.

KC, the lead guide ‘a novice driver safely followed at an extreme speed to follow’ claimed.

However, Matthew Chapman KC – McLaren Automotive – Mr Cannestra appears to be a competent rider and seems to be completely under the control of the snow motorcycle, and the vehicle appears to be ‘willing to move to a faster travel mode.

In the judge’s decision, he pointed out that the surgeon sent a text to the McLaren staff after the accident: ‘Don’t worry… S *** I asked … If I owe you a snow cart or other costs. Please let me know. This was my mistake and responsibility. ‘

In another, he wrote: ‘Thank you very much for your help yesterday and little self -destructive snow motorcycle. Please let me know everything I am responsible for …. Transportation …. a snow motorcycle ….. and so on. We had a great time and everything is fine! ‘

In his evidence, Mr. Cannestra insisted that post -accident messages were not accepted by his messages, and at the same time caused any problems with an exciting quest.

And despite being a passionate classic car fan with up to 33 at various times in the past, he announced that he had never competed and restricted himself with ‘collecting and restoring them’.

However, the judge, who rejected his claim, said: ‘While the plaintiff had a four -day expensive driving experience for McLaren Road Cars on Ice, while in Lapland, he chose to use a snow motorcycle as a part of the auxiliary fun activities provided by McLaren.

“ `On a snowy track, a guide passing through the trees, but lost control, left the runway and hit a tree. Injured. At first, he thought it was his own mistake, apologized and offered to pay for the fragmented snow mobile phone.

A few months later, he instructed lawyers and at the end of July 2020, a pre -action letter of protocol was written to McLaren’s lawyers by his lawyers, claiming negligence/violation by the guide and demanding harm for personal injuries.

After the accident, the plaintiff told the guide that the glove stuck to the gas butterfly. The plaintiff sent a message to pay the snow motorcycle, because it was caused by “my mistake and responsibility” and “my little self -destructive snow motorcycle”.

“ Negligation was rejected. The reason for the accident begged because the plaintiff accidentally accelerated while negotiating. [a turn] Instead of braking.

I could not find the evidence of Mealor ‘Kaitlin’ as very helpful. It turned out that he played a role in a wing man to support his old partner.

‘I was not convinced that he refused to talk … After the accident that the plaintiff always was addicted to an adrenaline who has always been accidents.

`This conversation can be made into context. The plaintiff bought two McLaren Road cars at the top of the list of the most powerful vehicles on the worldwide roads.

Both were on McLaren ice vacation. Adrenaline cannot be indifferent to a driving experience on ice in a super -powerful car. There is nothing wrong with this. Life and excitement and risk is part of it.

He wanted more speed. He had to understand that it would be more difficult and risky to be directed at higher speed. I think you understand this. He also realized that they would pass through the trees.

‘I think about five minutes is a suitable length for a briefing for just two customers. I think the briefing complies with local Finnish standards.

In the ambulance in the parking lot, [the guide] Pile accidentally pressed in the middle of two tours and accused the glove.

In the hospital, a doctor accidentally hit the gas instead of braking. He thought it was the cause of the accident. Did not blame [the guide] To hurry or disappear.

“ `Reached the second round and returned to 25 degrees, then squeezed or accidentally pushed the butterfly with his right hand and hit a flat tree. In which mode, the use of gas butterfly would cause him to get out of the runway. ‘

The guide said that he did not deal with a new ’11-year-old car driver ‘and added the following:’ Olgun, Super Car and Jet-Ski enthusiasts who were safely pressing and demanding more speed. The plaintiff was ready to leave his partner behind to increase his own pleasure.

Judge, “ demand will be rejected and the defendant will be decided, ” he said.
