"Brzezinski showed the video to a group of youngsters, and several didn't seem to get the message, instead saying they wanted to do what they saw the heelers doing on the video."
Duh, kids aren't stupid, I still live by the rule that the most dangerous stuff is the funnest stuff.
They focus on the heelys is weird. I doubt he accidentally zoomed into the path of the car since his mom last saw him going to get the mail and, when he was hit, he had the mail in hand (so he had to have stopped at the box). It was probably just because of the driver and the boy's obstructed views.
I was at Target a while back and there was this lady who was letting their kids just zip up and down the aisle with those things, and one of them slid right into the side of some dude's cart. The mom yelled at the guy while I watched and almost peed myself laughing at the kid That said, I can see how this lawsuit would happen. No one wants to admit that thier children may be out of control, and thusly responsible for their own fates.
Sad thing is... one of my co-workers today got a pair of these things... he's my age (mid to late 20s)... and is all happy... zipping around a workplace, with solid concrete flooring... and where lots of times people are wandering about with heavy rolls of paper, boxes of paper, or arms full of loose paper (to be bound into books)... yah... I'm pretty sure there is going to be an email soon about those things.
