Well dang! If you let your kids skateboard, then I'd say you are no member of the nanny-state conspiracy. I was a cautious kid. But I did ride down 'Suicide Hill' once, a place rumored to have killed two skateboarders. I made it to the bottom, but then I had a wipe-out. Not sure how fast I was going, but it was f.a.s.t. I was 25 years old. =]

I was wondering if the accident rate wasn't affected. Kids will find trouble no matter what. Until they hear about friends getting hurt, it will not stop.

Just spray paint names of invisible friends on the asphault.

That opens up the mental-health can of worms . . .
