She insisted she was unable to travel on holiday because she was injured ‘after jumping back in surprise at seeing a tiger jump out of the water while at the cinema watching Life of Pi in 3D. The woman claimed £1,000 for the cost of a cancelled holiday - but her allegation was among the top ten failed claims released by the insurance company LV. Rest of story snipped because it's mainly about other, non-cinema related p!ss-taking insurance claims. Admittedly the Daily Wail has somewhat of a reputation for sensationalism, but I never saw that one coming! I guess that means a big fat lawsuit could be in prospect if someone ever has a heart attack during a horror pic...  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 06-25-2013 01:23 PM                     LOL this one cracked me up.
