I saw this one last night and couldn't help but laugh. The ad portrays a 5ish boy child running through the house with the equipment on full tilt.

Right, let's occupy the child's hands, obstruct his vision, disorient him w/ a voice modifier, and then send him running through an obstacle course of hard edged ikea furniture

Right, let's occupy our hands, obstruct our vision with helmets, disorient ourselves w/ a voice modifier and earplugs, and then send ourselves running through an obstacle course of hard edged/sided vehicles

Isn't this what we do to ourselves every day on our Ducs, in some form or another? Except at higher speeds right?

Don't forget about the Oozinator_tm!

i grew up making forts out of rusting farm equipment with my cousins, rarely supervised...  if some kid can't handle a plastic helmet, then that's just darwin getting started early

That shit is about as funny as the vibrating broomstick that came out a couple of years ago

I dug elaborate snow tunnels in snowbanks around my house. In hindsight I was lucky they didn't collapse and trap me, though I think I could have dug my way out (what's a couple of feet of snow when you are armed with an ice cream bucket?)

I got a high-powered BB gun with a scope when I was about 7. And my first rifle when I was 16. I survived just fine, and I have no scars to prove it.

Kids are much more safe in a bubble or sitting inf front of a TV/computer.

Way funny but I thought that kind of stuff was illegal!

Right I get it boys will be boys and all. It's the fundamentals of the thing I find whacky.

No need to worry. Read the reviews, the thing doesn't work anyway.

Can you say the same for the neighbourhoods kids, pets etc.

Those that realized their skin was worth more than their lunch money, yes.
