  1. So the parents can read the sign, and look around and see why, they can see the danger. They ignored the danger and the obvious happened. The city should have been monitoring the parents behaviour, their carelessness, the lack of responsibility and considered the protective barriers well before this happened. It’s hard these days to tell the difference between a 6 yr old, and the parent in looking out for dangers where they play.

    1. My dog hurt his tail playing tug in snow, he’s fine, but we don’t do it anymore, or am very careful. Don’t ever let them start/control a game.

  2. A law prohibiting sledding is all the responsibility the city had for this. This is on the parents who allowed that law to be broken because of how important fun is.

    1. That’s right !! They also need to ban bike riding, ice skating, swimming and every other activity that can cause harm or death !

    2. @needmoreramsay I’m a parent… if I let this happen… it’s on me. Not the city . Tragic for the family, but parents need to know what their kids are doing .

      It seems to me the parents need to be parented here.

  3. Kids are going to go sledding on a hill in a park. Wear a damned helmet when you add speed into ANY outdoor activity on land. It’s the equivalent of a pfd in the water.

    Enforce helmets. That’s all this would take to almost erase the risk of another incident like this one.

  4. Come on,make the park safe,it’s winter and kids need to have fun healthy activity. Fix the problem,not the easy way by shutting it down
