A Chatsworth, Ga., man is suing Bryan College and the National Association of Christian Athletes for $20 million, alleging he snapped his spine and became a paraplegic while on an unsafe obstacle course the association operated near Dayton, Tenn.

On July 4, 2012, Larry Moss went with church members to the Fort Bluff Camp in Dayton.

He went through “The Crucible” obstacle course, where at one station he was instructed to drop from a 10- to 15-foot tower and land in the seated position, according to court documents.

The course was said to simulate a U.S. Marine Corps-type obstacle course, but Moss alleges that the equipment was unsafe and the staff “incompetent.”

The mat on which he landed was nothing more than a piece of “thin and rotted foam,” he alleges.
