Bowling shoe safety? Yes indeed.
The Senate voted 51-4 today for Senate Bill 1335, which tries to protect bowling alley owners from some lawsuits.
The measure would allow alley owners to clearly place signs near entrances and exits warning that bowling shoes are "specialized footwear" meant only to be worn inside the alley. Users are cautioned that they could slip or stumble if they wear the shoes outside in rain, snow or other debris and then come back in.
Owners who post the signs then would be shielded from lawsuits if people ignore the signs and injure themselves while wearing bowling shoes outside and then back in.
