Nunchuks - the real kind - are a prohibited weapon in Canada, said Edmonton Police Insp. Dennis Pysyk.

Nice to see those regulations at work! Maybe a 'nunchuk registry' would have worked better to prevent such an accident?

nunchuk control NOW!

I've never wrapped a nunchuck chain around my neck... but I HAVE whacked myself in the head a few times.

But Stanley said some martial arts clubs do train with weapons - especially when it draws in customers.

So did the school this kid trained at use weapons? With 10 year olds? Or was this something he was inspired to do by TV? Oh wait, what kids see on TV has no effect on them... so we are told.

I'm trying to picture how this could happen. Couldn't he have just unwrapped it from his neck?

"Police have ruled out foul play, and say it appears Chris may have died as the result of an accident."

Not sure how they ruled out foul play. I can't imagine how someone could strangle their self with toy numchucks.

I always get a kick out of some guy who can't even spell or pronounce something writing about regulating it.

I used to do karate and the chain on nunchucks I used were way too small to go around any neck. The chain could barely wrap around your hand.

Something smells funky.

Wonder how they were able to rule out foul play?

I almost choked to death on a toy whistle when I was a kid. I have dedicated the rest of my life to the banning of toy whistles. (Jus' kiddin' about the second part.)

Lunden expressed grief for the family, and hoped Chris's two surviving sisters, one older and one younger, could help his father cope with the loss of his son.

Um, shouldn't the father be helping his daughters cope, especially since one of them is younger than 10?

IF NUNCHUKS WERE OUTLAWED...
