Red, I agree with you. Some parents do not stop and think. It might be fun at the moment but it is not fun in the ER.
When we lived in San Angelo we got a 9 inch snow. A record snow. Lasted one day, but there were parents going down the street pulling hoods off of old cars with kids on them behind a car or pickup. Folks, there are no breaks on such an arrangement that will work.
I have taken metal shields off of old implements and made a sled. We put ropes on them for the children and we pulled them behind the pickup in the alfalfa patch and never got real fast. That thing can run under a pickup, tractor, or other motorized object. We always stopped by slightly turning and slowing down until everything came to a complete stop. In the hay field there was nothing to run into. People who do such things on a street or road need a ticket IMHO. You cannot replace eyes, teeth, or even some trauma damage for ever let alone a life.
Last week a freshman was killed while another freshman was backing the cotton bole buggy into a barn for storage until time to use it next year in Idolou, TX. Life is so very precious and it can be lost in a twinkling of an eye.
