Injured Rider Unsuccessful in Lawsuit Against Whistler Bike Park
The big issue is that the US needs tort reform. It's often cheaper to settle outside of court, even if you know you're in the right.

Derailleur vs Gearbox: Nicolai Ion 16 vs Ion GPI - Review
2 arguments not mentioned in the article:
Pro gearbox: You can run a singlespeed rear hub -> better spoke angle, and evenly tensioned equal length spokes. This makes for a stronger wheel.
Pro conventional setup: Other than zero chain growth rear suspension designs, like here, a deraileur-like chain tensioner is required for the back of the bike anyways, adding weight and still being vulnerable to damage. Although, this could be added behind the BB rather than at the rear axle. Also, I'm pretty sure the Gates drive won't work in a chain-growth design, even with a mobile tensioner.
