Here is an environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Although I wouldn't use it to commute to work! This looks like a fun project to make with your kids. All you need is some PVC pipe, duct tape, and a large piece of plastic. Oh, and a bit of wind!
I disagree ionymous... We as a society should stop trying to over protect everyone from the dangers of everything. Stupidity is meant to hurt, how else will anyone learn?
I didn't say anything about society saying he should wear a helmet.
People don't have to only learn by doing something stupid and then correcting themselves. They can learn from others before they do something stupid.
I just done want to see someone, especially a child, get hurt because their parent overlooked something.
In the right wind, that thing will fly. I remember when I was a kid, sitting on a skateboard, holding a piece of cardboard. I got going uncontrollably fast. Pretty cool.
