Girl Hurt in Speeding Shopping Cart Crash

[cheeseburger]

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.

Hahahaha!!

That's funny..

Why would anyone go down a hill in a shopping cart anyways?? lol

[krisamata]

^Jackass!!!

So many people are trying to mimic it... my bet is that they were doing the same! I bet one of the kids has footage!

[wildstyle]

I love jackass and cky.

i always do that shit when i'm drunk.

[sidewayz luv]

honestly u gotta be kinda dumb to jump in a shopping cart and go down a hill....It's one thing to have a friend push u down the street...but I mean it's gonna pick up speed and if u dont hit somthing and crash then it'll probably fall over.....either way u'll get hurt

Heh, one of my buddies tried that out, the Jackass way, by running into a curb. Contraty to popular belief, you dont fly 10 meters, maybe 1 or 2 at best. But then again, he did bruise both of his elbows pretty bad and didnt want to tray it again, nobody else did either. What a dumbass for trying it in the firstplace.

you've gotta wonder about the physics of it... how fast would shopping cart wheels have to be turning in order to be travelling at 45mph? it'd have to be some Back to the Future style shit where the cart left flaming tracks.

besides the fact that it's hilarious, the odds of that girl wearing anything that would protect her from road rash are slim. it must really, really suck to be her right now. even minor bmx road rash makes me wish i was dead.

[got_rice]

going down the hill would be so much fun...
haha shit.. its more fun to go down big hills on the big wheeler things... like on jackass!!

i cracked my head open when i was a kid cause my brother was pushing me in a shopping cart for fun? and she psuhed it over the speed bump and let go....so the buggy like flipped upside down and me and my friend had to go the the hospital:(
