Police on the lookout for junior jackass roundabout stunt

Last week I posted a video about some kids who used a motorscooter to spin a couple of girls around in a playground merry-go-round, very fast. The girls flew out of the merry-go-round, and it is a wonder they didn't get killed.

Police in Crawley, West Sussex saw the video and are now looking for the kids -- presumably to arrest, DNA test, interrogate, and lock up (as they did to some kids who committed the grave offense of climbing a tree).

A spokesman for Crawley Borough Council described the stunt as "phenomenally dangerous" and said it could have ended in a fatality.

"It is a bit like Jackass but this is a lot more dangerous because it involves children rather than people old enough to know better," he said.

Reader comment: Corey says: "With regards to the motor scooter/merry-go-round story: a girl was killed two years ago doing this same stunt." Link
