emergency room, take 37

The youngster's birthday is around the corner, and so comes my next attempt to send him to the emergency room.

One of the carpool kids has a Ripstik, or something like it. The youngster borrowed it for a week, and he's hooked. He wants one bad, and to be honest, got pretty decent with it for the time it was around the house. I think the emergency room potential might be a little less than it was with the heelys though. I watched him on this thing, and when he falls, it doesn't appear to have the same injury potential. Then again once he gets comfortable on it, the potential will grow exponentially when he decides he should start trying tricks.
