Girl Hurt in Speeding Shopping Cart Crash
Thu March 27, 2003 09:47 AM ET
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A girl was recovering from injuries on Wednesday after the shopping cart she was riding in crashed while careering down a hill at an estimated 45 miles per hour.
The girl suffered a broken shoulder and "road rash" after she and several other youngsters decided to take the cart for a ride in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, but lost control of their gravity-powered vehicle, police said.

"Although the incident appears to be one of thrill-seeking, police remind youths that partaking in activities such as these can result in severe injuries or worse, death," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a news release.

None of the other youngsters was reported injured.

Mounties deal with stuff like this? I thought they just chased Moose\' and their squirrel companions.....

Damn, little do I know. :laughing:

Too soon? Well right now I don\'t care. Boom. Welcome to.... naw, that\'s just too anti-american.

EDIT:
You know what song is good? Audioslave - Like a Stone.

Yeah, we had the infamous montreal school shooting... however, there have been a lot more incedents/population in the states.

And if I had remembered jackass, I would have mentioned it, cause that show/movie is the dumbest thing ever filmed.

Post by: MPTheory on March 28, 2003, 07:55:28 AM: Well, You can\'t fairly judge the crime rate or anything from Canada to the US because the population is like 10 to 1. But, hell, I can see lots of kids rolling down a hill in a shopping cart for fun.

<<<
BTW why the HELL is this thread named "Canadians"? (Other then the obvious).. The Canadian jokes are really starting to get old...

Post by: FatalXception on March 28, 2003, 01:52:16 PM: I don\'t get Canadian jokes very often... but I do enjoy the occasional newfie, or swedish joke.

I don\'t bother making jokes about most Americans, I couldn\'t come up with anything funnier than reality (plus, I wouldn\'t want to get shot).

Actually, you can compare crime statistics.. you just have to do it by population.

Averaged out over 1994-1999, 2 police officers a year die in Canada in the line of duty. In the US, the average for the same years was 2 police officers per day. Multiply/divide by ten to compare with even populations.

Post by: Coredweller on March 28, 2003, 04:44:22 PM: Yeah, but it makes sense that it happened in Montreal... cause Quebec\'s not really part of Canada after all, right? :D :p
