On a similar note to the thread title, a group of teens thought it would be a good idea to go tubing at Sunday River ski resort in Maine at 2 a.m. the other night. Not surprisingly, they slammed into a tree in the pitch darkness and one of them was killed while the other two badly injured.We don't get all that many murders here in Maine, but we do get a pretty steady stream of people killing themselves doing something stupid, usually it involves ATVs or snowmobiles. Sledding is a bit unusual.
The one that sticks with me, is someone wanted to get what I assume was a fairly large eye-bolt out of tree. So he hooked some sort of line up to it and attached it do his ATV. And proceeded to pull it out with brute force. When it suddenly snapped free, it came flying at him, striking him in the back of the head and killing him.
