I'm not surprised, I see people trying to walk and text all the time, every day, by the hundreds.
Great lesson for the kid: if you're stupid, blame someone else and try to get some money out of it. Behold the next generation of entitlement mentality.

The barriers may have been there, but texting teens seem oblivious to reality.

I saw a short blurb in New Scientist about an app for your phone that uses the camera to capture where you are walking and displaying to you on the screen so you can keep an eye on it while texting. I don't know if it helps with oncoming buses, though.
Someone texting and walking carelessly in my vicinity is liable to receive a gentle bump on their elbow from my bag.

Funny. We have a 3 person Sea-doo Jet Ski. Goes about 70mph. To fast for me on the water. Anyway we got this notice yesterday and I found it kind of funny. They updated their safety video.
" This updated version reflects the most recent safety information available to BRP in relation to the use of its SEA-DOO personal watercrafts. Among other subjects, it emphasizes on what riders must wear to protect themselves against what has been known as "the water skier hazard", i.e. forceful water entry into the lower body opening(s) of males or females." WTF? www.sea-doo.com/safety-video

Same thing should apply to waterskiiers. If you don't employ your sphincter muscles at the time of takeoff, you're gonna get cleaned out.

There is your explanation. I always thought a chainsaw would be your best bet against a bear or lion.

Another ex-marine kills a bear by throwing a log at it.

Holy shit. He killed a bear by throwing a log at it.
Even Rambo would have used a knife. I think "do not mess with ex-marines" sounds like a good rule for life.
