Reply #22: I'd say no 11 year olds should ride ferris wheels, 15 yr olds shouldn't ride in trucks,

[jmg257]

and 12 year olds shouldn't bull ride. They all might fall by accident.


"An 11-year-old girl died today after falling from a Ferris wheel on the New Jersey shore, the Cape May County prosecutor's office said."

"xx xxx, 15, of xxx died Monday morning after he was taken off life support at the University of Michigan Hospital. He was fatally injured after falling from a truck."

"A 12-year-old boy died at Longmont United Hospital after being stomped on during a bull ride at the Boulder County Fairgrounds Sunday morning."

"18-year-old xx xxx died when he fell down a canyon after snowboarding out of bounds."

"23-year-old Kyle Cryblsky was killed while trying to land a jump in a popular terrain park at Mt.Hood Meadows."

I guess we could all just keep our kids in bubbles till they turn 18 - oops, make that 21, oops make that ??, then they can magically be released, aware of everything they need to enjoy life without mishap.


What's your opinion?
(besides how sad it is having to cherry-picking bits & pieces from other people's tragedies to fuel your personal agenda. Though if others learn from it, so be it.)
