Tim, it is a novel concept from the olden days, where children and teenagers are taught that they are responsible for their actions, as opposed to the current generation where the word "no" is forbidden, and children must not be admonished in case it bruises their delicate little egos. I recently read that children must not "fail" a test at school, as this might harm their self-esteem, so instead they are told that they did very well.

So there is at least a whole generation out there who have never been stopped from doing the wrong thing, so they don't even understand the concept.

That is worth a few ???

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Just sharing my view
I didn't find it funny maybe a little amusing but certainly not funny

Kids will be Kids
I hope the boy was held responsible for any medical bills but other than that what can you do. They're Kids

As for Real RC vehicles I believe that an adult should be present when being used by a minor.
there weren't any adults present cause if there was it might not have happened.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		aside from claims that the track was rented by rc guys she clearly was the stupid one in my opinion.

#1.... she CLEARLY saw at LEAST 2 drivers playing on that particular jump..she even made her statement so she directly put herself in "danger"

#2....any normal non harassing person would have picked another hill to jump...she clearly saw them playing on that ONE ramp and if its a BMX track shouldnt there be several if not at least ONE more ramp to jump? she turned around and went for that ramp again...the other rc truck even yielded to the girl

#3....unless shes deaf she shoulda heard the high pitched whine from the nitro motor comming her way....

#4,,,back to my original post.....

well if the truck didnt get her that double jump sure would have! he did her a favor IMO

That reminds me of a joke: If two people from Cookeville TN get a divorce, are they still brother and sister?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		2 lessons learned from this thread.

1. Don't drive R/C trucks on a bike track while people threatened by your presence are around to make you do douchey things like bashjousting a 14 year old on a BMX bike.

2. If you don't agree with someone's viewpoint, it's ok to lower ourselves to their level, and make fun of them by using stereotypes.

Got it. That's quality learnin' right there.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		You're right. That statement was probably uncalled for. But hell it's still kinda funny. When I was a kid if you stepped out of line somebody was going to put you back in check. Consequently, I learned to check myself. I am really just attempting to apply the same logic. And so it has been applied by you.

It's like my dear old dad used to say; what are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		For the guy that said you cant get killed by a rc truck/car,my buddy had his ankle broke by a 1/10 th scale 12bl pound truck about 6-7 years ago.That was a full size MT (20 lbs) and 99% of them can reach speeds of 50mph so think about what would happen if that truck hit her in the face,still funny huh .

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		They both get 50 percent of the blame, and if I was an officer who was called to that situation and listened to both sides that is what I would tell them UNLESS RC vehicles are prohibited from using the track, which I doubt.

See, the knothead truck guy was watching the truck, not what is ahead of the truck. It is unlikely that anyone was spotting for him, and we all know that he would not have been able to react fast enough to avoid the girl, and once the truck was airborne he had zero control.

The girl knew they were running the truck over on that jump, and she chose to ride over there anyway. She is old enough to know better, yet she defiantly chose to ride that jump. There were other jumps but she had to ride that one, because she was a typical defiant know-it-all teenager.

I'm tired of kids being looked at as innocent victims when they are old enough to know better. Yes, I have a daughter, and if that happened to her, after making sure she was okay I would ask her why she put herself in the situation. I wouldn't go "kill that guy", crap happens. If she wants to kick his arse, have at it, just be prepared to accept the consequences. But then I taught her to avoid stupid situations so I don't have to worry (as much) about it. She turns 18 this year and has made it relatively unscathed.

What is the right answer? To not run a large RC truck in a place clearly intended for another purpose if people are there. If that place is empty and it is not prohibited, fine. As soon as people show up to use it for it's intended purpose, it's time to leave it to them and take a break until they leave.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Some of you need to look at the video again. Watch his first jump nice long air very controlled. Now watch his second jump into the girl. Its much lower and tumbling as if he tried to stop and turn off his trajectory to prevent an impact with said girl. The gentlemen in question are STUPID for operating on a BMX or bicycle track while there are other people on it, however it appears the girl intentionally turned around to take that jump just to annoy them and paid for it. Now you could also say the angle is lower and tumbling because he had to correct at the last minute to slam into her, either way no one was there to say one way or the other. If it was an intentional act, it is indeed felonious assault with a weapon. That means JAIL time, if it was an accident, simply because the RC operator is not supposed to be on the track he is at fault for any medical bills suffered by the girl, however I think that is the extent of his liability as long as the act wasn't intentional.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		The charge would be Aggravated Battery. Aggravated Battery is the unwanted touching or striking of another person with a weapon or object with the intent to cause bodily harm or death and/or a lesser charge of negligence. Show me a prosecutor that would take this to court. It would end up as a civil matter because it would be difficult to prove intent. Also, just because the girls yells it doesn't mean they are not allowed there. If it is not posted, and fault could only be placed on one person, it would be her. According to the video, they were there first, she knew what they were doing and knowingly placed herself in the situation. I would be surprised if a judge awarded anything in a civil trial.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I think that was funny, not something you see everyday. And here is something for the guy that said women are supposed to stay in the kitchen. Warning if you found the r/c car hitting the girl in the face not to be funny, probably should skip this one.

So true so true. I am glad to say there are a few of this generation that do not agree with most of them thinking it is funny which is refreshing to say the least. Just a sad state of affairs when others think it is funny and all right to hurt someone.
