wow....have some sympathy. Does anyone expect to die sledding? Please take your disrespectful comments somewhere else, or just keep them to yourself.

Why are kids still sledding there after a child was killed? Whats wrong with those parents.

stupid parents: check the area first and if its not save, dont let your kids sled there!

i 100%agree to padrak18

First the parents are stupid enough to let their kid sled there. Then when their kid gets injured or worse, They blame someone else????? Are you kidding me?
