Johnny falls off his bicycle and breaks his arm.
1957 - Johnny is taken to the hospital where his arm is x-rayed, set and placed in a cast. 6 weeks later, cast is removed and life goes on.
2011 - After the hospital visit, Johnny's parents take him to a lawyer who initiates a lawsuit against Schwinn claiming that bicycles are dangerous unstable vehicles and should not be marketed to children. Schwinn settles out of court for an outrageous sum of money. Congress passes a bill outlawing 2-wheeled vehicles for anyone under the age of 18.
