Heelies

[darph nader]

Ha - saw the perfect incident today. Was over by the Lion King tram and had this family ahead of us with two boys on Heelies. The lady at the tent told the parent that the wheels would have to come out. Right when the dad is saying, "no Heelies?" his fat-ass older kid falls right on his posterior and the lady says, "that's why we don't allow Heelies."

Can you say "irony," dad???

:twisted:

As obi won said "Who's the bigger fool.The fool,or the fool who bought them"? :(

Two wheels in the back of the shoes?

Ansem. . . Get the popcorn
There's a new movie at GMR and it's being shown outside.

Seems to me that this creates an even bigger chance of the kids falling if they have two wheels in the back and nothing up front. . .

Especially with all those hand/foot prints outside...

I hate those shoes... but when they use the wheels inside then I'm pissed!!! Parents wouldn't dare let their precious little ones skate inside their homes but at Disney they think nothing of it! :mad:

Last night at the P&P Party, I was on my way back from break when all the sudden coming full spead towards me was a heelies kid. at the last second, he made a quick u-turn, and hopped into........ A STROLLER!

About 5 seconds later after I told them that there is no rollerskating in the park, his sister pulls the same move, barreling down at me at twice the speed! She, too, made the U-turn and joined her brother in the stroller.

Now tell me this: If you are old enough to be ROLLERSKATING, do you need a stroller? Uggggggggggg. :mad:

My wife and I were at costco gassing up. Some brilliant parents let their daughter out to go "skate" down a small ramp on the sidewalk. It was one of those bumpy ramps to prevent sliding in wet/icy conditions so we thought we were in for a show. We were wrong :/

We were out shopping the other day with friends and I jokingly said we should all by heelies for our trip to WDW and I got the stink eye. Jeez, all I wanted to do was get my friend a ECV since he had knee surgery last year, the rest of us in heelies hanging onto the back of the thing so we don't have to walk :twisted:

Plus we get front of the line with the ECV, and when one of us falls we'll sue Disney and get rich!

Hey ktulu. I can see you and your friends blazing along at a blistering 1.5 mph behind that ECV. Playing 'crack the whip'. Taking out little old ladies,toddlers,garbage cans. :D:
Of course the fun part would be watching you 'try' and run from Security. :twisted:

We'd create a diversion by crashing the ECV laden with rare pins into the hub creating a massive crowd of on-lookers and pin collectors. We'd then simply blend in with the other SG's and slip away muhahahahaha...

i work in a large store. I see many kids w/heelies darting in and out all over. there were teenagers playing around with the razor scooters and one fell and hit a stackbase and cracked her head open. another time a dad was pushing the shopping cart with his daughter laying on the bottom part. her hair hanging down., i said to him that it's dangerous and that her hair could get wound up around the wheels, he said :"so what, then she'll learn", dumbass. so as i see all these stupid people raising their stupid kids, i wonder what will the world be like in years to come?

You guys know the Oompa Loompa songs from Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory right? Well here's a little spoof. This is to the tune of Agustus Gloop.

Heely Bridgette, Heely Bridgette,
The big-headed idiot
Heely Bridgette, covered in scars
From crashing into people and cars

Come on, Death said,
The time is right
To kill poor Bridgette
As she rolls into the night

It's sad, dear children, to say
Heely Bridgette died the next day
Heely Bridgette died the next day

She rolled down the street
By the light of the moon
And crashed right into
A poor raccoon

As she layed there
On the ground,
A car came toward her
And she found

Herself in raging of pain
And her screams were heard in the rain
But tragically, it was too late
She found herself at Heaven's Gate!

The lesson children, is don't wear heelies! I know the song is a bit dark, but really, the more gruesome the song, then the more parents will understand the worst-case scenario. Plus I have a weird and twisted mind that leaves my friends to question my sanity.

Hello All! This is my 1st post! I have been lurking forever on this site...
I am a registered nurse who works in a medical clinic and incredibly, some of the issues are the same. Like the Heely problem.
Today I got ScREAMED at by a Mom who's Darling little Angel was scooting around the clinic on her Heelys. I called out "Excuse me, Miss, No roller skating is allowed here." Later there was another pleasantly toned request by myself to the young lady to please leave some of our reward stickers for our other kid patients(She already had several on both front and back of her body and was going for more with Mom there.) The "Mom" proceeded to tell me that my tone of voice was rude, how dare I tell her child anything, I should just zip it,blah blah, scream,yell. Another nurse and I ended calling security on her,so she took my name and wrote me up.
I guess the whole point is that kids have no idea that they are doing the wrong thing because the parents themselves do not care if they are polite and appropriate,and will scream at you if you try to give even gentle correction- for the good of themselves and others.
The thing that really gets me is the mom would be demanding for us to suture her kid's head if she fell in our clinic(of course no helmet)and then she would probably sue us for not having any warning signs! :faceplant

I was playing in the parks last night to go visit some friends, and on my way out I ran into a friend on the Dream Squad. We were walking to town square, and he excused himself to tell a kid "I know you probably haven't heard anything all day, but there is no rollerskating in any of the Florida Parks. You need a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist pads if you want to roller skate in Florida. Otherwise, its against the law and you could get in trouble."

The kid immidiately took out his wheels. It was great, and I thanked my friend for taking care of it. Which reminded me... if I recall correctly, that is true. I remember hearing from a school seminar that you need a helmet if you are under 14. Perhaps this is a good way to get accross to heelies kids if they don't listen?
