Few people are aware that this PIF's central premise was tragically undermined three minutes after filming ended when the kid at the end lost control of his plane-on-a-wire and smashed it propeller-first into the face of a passing woman. Screaming, she then stumbled into a road-worker operating a pneumatic drill, causing him to puncture a water main and an electrical cable, just as a Sunday school class walked through the resultant puddle. Death toll = 19. The boy later took his own life.

I know this comment is irrelevant to the video, but does anyone remember this safety video about some kids playing on a tube train then one of them falling while changing cars and dies on the tracks? I really want to know what it's called :/

The narrator is Foggy from last of the summer wine?

From attentively watching a few of these adverts I've gathered that girls perish while driving to the laundromat, while boys are more often targets for electrocution.

do kids even play outside any more? too busy on their xbox...mobile phones...pc's...nintendo wii....PS3 etc etc. along with danger from weirdo's

that's just one reason why obesity levels have risen amongst kids these days....sigh

It reminds me of Ali The Long Neck Dinosaur From The Land Before Time 4;

It's The Scream Like that than a human girl.

(I Know Ali The Dinosaur, She Is Littlefoot's Love Friend).

Littlefoot Is Not a Dinosaur From The Land Before Time

Littlefoot is The Name Of The Saxon King From Nearly 400 Years Ago.

This was made back when people actually cared what kind of music they put in their videos.
