I strapped my leaf blower onto a three-wheeled kids toy and fired it up to see how fast it would go. Pretty darn fast until it hit the curb and tipped over. (And looking back, glad it didn’t launch into a parked car or something!)
Sadly, my son had just got one of those razor scooters with the handlebar. He tried to chase after my contraption and got going to fast and stumbled and fell head first to the asphalt. His helmet was broken and probably saved his life. His collar-bone was broken also.
I wasn’t able to convince my wife that it really wasn’t my fault at all!
Yes - too bad about the kid. I had numerous chances to kill myself as a kid.
