The whole point is that it's dangerous fun.
If it weren't dangerous, it wouldn't be fun.

Geez, I don't know, our culture's fault?

When I was alot younger we used to take an old hood to a '55 Chevy, tie it to the back of a 4x4 and ride on the hood while the 4x4 did donuts in a field after a good snow.

Had some kids break collar bones and dislocate shoulders, but had a helluva time.

This was in the '70's Rip.

We used to even ride Horses and such too....and race cars on dirt roads....all before ******* came out!

Most kids are risk takers by nature, they don't know any better. How many of us have walked on thin ice as a kid? How about iceburging in the local river? Jumping off a high rock into a quarry? Behind the ship(building that looks like a ship) on rte1 in saugus, there is a reserve res that has a cliff you can jump off of. Many, many kids have taken the plunge, and many will in the future. Same thing in Quincy at the quarry.

Remember stacking rocks and putting a board down to jump it with your bike? We had that thing about 4-5 feet high. Lucky we didn't break our necks.

Kids sometimes make poor decisions, that's what kids do.

Its the governments fault.

They were not educated enough to accurately estimate the speeds and forces involved. MORE MONEY FOR EDUMACATION!

I agree with rip re: the coarsening of culture (see: *******, GTAIII, GTA Vice city, etc etc)

and I agree with the gene pool guys - i.e. its obviously stupid and dangerous, and you KNOW you shouldn't be doing it, but you do it anyway. And get hurt/killed. Serves you right.

But the more fertile sources there are for giving kids ideas, the more the not-quite-thinkers will attempt them, and of course, by extension and increased number will get hurt/killed by them.

I better get off this fence before I start singing soprano.

BTW - why aren't the gun banners on this board calling for the outlawing of merry go rounds? I mean, guns kill people, yet its not just "darwin" at work - its the GUNS fault! But a kid does something stupid on the merry go round, and somehow, darwin is suddenly back in force, ad there are no contributing (though not necessarily causal) factors that should share the blame. And I'm getting on a rant that I know I'm going to regret, so I'm gonna stop before I go completely incoherent.

You have the original source/link? I'm wondering if that's Marysville, Michigan.

Google coming back empty.

Christ, if you're going to write an epitaph you could at least be bothered to spell the words.

Its not the ******* show's fault. It has a written warning that is put up at the beginnign of the show with more than ample time to read it. It was her decision to try and do it herself. Heck, all kids do stupid things. When I was younger we would have BB gun wars, and every once in a while someone would get shot in the eye and nearly lose it, but it was some of the most fun we had.

All kids are going to make stupid decisions. This one just cost a life.
