you guys Can't even see the jump.. the G's on the upward motion aren't enough to make an unstrapped helmet even float upwards.
and for the millionth time.. i didn't just do this blindly, i rolled over it slowly, then a little faster and so on.

Are you saying that you did this multiple times with your child on your back?

Awesome vid - so much for stereotyping (even if I think one of the "gothic" dancers could be Crumbs…not sure tho)….the battle is on? Or was it posted because the Bboys and -girls came up first when looking for Skinny Puppy? If so - you did not get the "joke" which is kind of an insider….;)

Can we just give it a rest? I mean, come on…..we know that we would never do something like that. Period. If said user has still problems with scientific facts….then what?

Gosh, my students at school are sometimes really hard and difficult to understand…..now my favorite pastime after marriage sports and bike riding should not turn into some teenage blabla thing.

you would have to be the worst rider in history to screw that jump up.

come to think of it, the drive to my girl's preschool is super easy. all paved, no big hills

and yet for the past year i've been some sort of paranoid idiot strapping her into a carseat. thanks for the time saving tip!

in theory you wouldn't have to strap her in if it is an easy drive, you're a comptent driver and it is a closed course…

see how it relates? maybe just a little?

and that is beside the point. what i am trying to get at is that most parents will be oblivious and endanger their child more than necessary at some point…

this senseless attacking of vish is unjustified because you and every other parent on here have or will have done something equally stupid, if not more, in terms of the well being of your children.

Do you disagree or are you just going to try and pick apart my post on minute details?

i agree in part. i, and every other parent i know have done stupid things. however, you are going in circles, that point is clear and has been covered.

the difference is, i try to learn from the stupid things that i do.

I think you just argued that a race car time trial driver doesn't need a seatbelt or helmet. Nice.

I'd say he learned from it, he didn't do it again, did he?

Time to let go.

all investing is is a type of arbitrage, and thats not gambling. theres an element of risk and potential of profit involved, but those are broad and dont qualify somthing as gambling.

most Christians I know, myself included, would say that science is the way through which we learn about everything that God has created, but we learn at the pace which he sets for us.

Now this is just getting stupid.

I think it was not a very smart thing to do with HIS kid, but.

I see people do way more stupid stuff with their kids all the time like:

Trying to make the light in their car with the kid in "the TC approved
car seat" for safety, but pulling a bone-head move anyway.

Pushing their kid in the stroller across the street without paying attention.

Talking on the cell while driving with their kids in the car.

Letting the 16 y/o baby sit their kid…"she/he's such a nice kid, they would never
get my little insert name high for fun/shut them up.

Carrying their kid on their shoulders….during the winter when the ground is wet/snowy/etc.

And the one that some of you that are coming down on vish so hard probably do:

Taking your kid for a bike ride in the kiddy carrier tow thingy/back seat/and
those little bike things that clamp onto your seat post down the street. I see
these people riding along with cars zooming past (they zoom past even on the
"side" streets too), not looking back, not knowing if the kid's even still there.

People, he hit a pretty small table-top, he probably had his helmet on from hitting
some of the stuff that's out there in (St. Louis/ Makakilo?). Yeah, A LOT of things
COULD HAVE gone wrong there (well really only a couple), but there's a lot that
can go wrong driving a car while PAYING attention, and I see people not paying
attention with their kids in the car all the time.

Seriously people, get over yourselves. All you parents out there, you take risks
with your kids all the time. You don't think about them because they are so common
place.

This is just riling you all up because it's something out of the "norm" and you've
decided to grab the pitchforks and torches to "burn the monster" named vish.

I'm not saying what he did was a good thing, I'm not saying his attitude and
responses are appropriate, it just reminds me of a saying about glass houses and
stones.

Just sayin'
