On the heels of a similar accident in Michigan which killed 15-year-old future London Knight Ian Jenkins comes this story from Thamesford, Ont., where a junior hockey player fell off the tailgate of a pickup truck following a Victoria Day parade.
He was airlifted to hospital and it sounds like, thankfully, he's going to be OK.
But one wonders, are athletically gifted young people bigger risk takers than other kids? Is their judgment powered by joy and adrenaline instead of making more boring but safe choices?
Here's the Thamesford story link to The London Free Press.
