There was one pervious potential customer that backed out due to safety concerns who was in the middle of suing him for a refund when this happened. That person apparently dropped the lawsuit after Rush died to spare the family additional pain. Apparently there were already trips booked and paid for next summer. Something tells me they won't be getting a refund though.
I...yeah. I agree. Fortunately though, if you can afford to drop a quarter mill on a boat ride I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they can afford to suck it up.

Call that a fully paid-up lesson from 'The School of Hard Knocks.'

They may have to wait a year to buy the newest Ferrari.
