Dang. Poor kid, didn't know that the cape could get caught. I wonder if the mother knew about the cape wearing and permitted it? You'd figure a mother would know such things... (Contrary to popular belief, capes do not give their wearers super powers...)

It's sad accidents like that - dieing at such a young age.
There was a kid from our school which recently died, well, just before Christmas, came off his motorbike.

Reminds me of the tragic story of Isadora Duncan who was killed in 1927. She was riding in the back seat of an open top car and had a very long scarf that she threw round her neck. The scarf caught in the spokes of the back wheel and strangled her.

Reminds me of trying to ride 10 speed bikes back in the 70's with bellbottoms. The pants legs would get caught in the chain, and often times make you crash.
Never hurt me to bad though. Just goes to show, bellbottom pants were a bad idea.

They were just a bad idea - full stop.
