Future Stuntman

As a famous philosopher once said, 'Child endangerment is in the eye of the beholder.' After one of the big snows recently, it seemed like a good idea to pile some snow on the battered rock climbing wall of Michael's playset, and have him slide down it. And you know what - it was a good idea. And no one got hurt, despite the fact that he slammed into a big wall every time. Score one for the dads out there, whose ideas usually end up with some form of crying, bleeding, a trip to the hospital, spousal fury, or some combination thereof.

You can witness the crazy little monkey doing his thing here, here and here.

Awesome idea man! What's with the helmet though? We didn't have helmets when we were kids. In retrospect, a good idea though because if he's anything like you on a snowy slope, he's destined for injury.
