no to something that sounds dangerous.
Unfortunately, children are susceptive to peer pressure and the like; even the most intelligent of youngsters can be coerced andfmconvinced to partake in stunts that promise dire consequences.
Just ask the parents of 11-year-old Tyler Broome, who suffered horrific injuries after trying a YouTube craze known as ‘the roundabout of death’.
Yes, the name alone pretty much tells you the salient facts of the matter, but for Tyler it wasn’t so much an incredibly dangerous stunt as a way to show his friends how fearless he was.
The 11-year-old thereafter sustained injuries consistent with those seen in fighter pilots, after bein subjected to extreme gravitational force (G-force).
The craze he participated in – known as the ’roundabout of death’ – sees participants sitting in the middle of a playground roundabout whilst it’s spun at high speed using the rear wheel of a motorcycle.
Shortly after the ordeal, Tyler was found unconscious near the roundabout, left with possible damage to his brain and vision.
Extreme force
It’s believed he was subjected to the sort of G-force usually only encountered by pilots and astronauts.
It’s reported that Tyler was at a local park with a friend when they were approached by a group of older teenagers who dared them into the game.
Terrifying ordeal
“I don’t recognise my child – he is on the verge of having a stroke. Tyler sat on the roundabout, and the boy who came over was about 17. Tyler doesn’t know him, they are not friends,” his mom Dawn said, per British newspaper The Independent.
“He puts his motorbike on the floor, gets the roundabout spinning at such a speed. When they all stopped, the group just cleared off – it is bullying.”
Dawn claimed that hospital staff had never seen such injuries and had to do research before they were able to begin treating her son.
“The injuries were so extreme, he just looked like the Elephant Man. They have never seen it before, they are going to make a medical report from it.
“His head has completely swelled up, his blood vessels have burst, his eyes look alien. His vision is blurry. You can manage a broken arm but this? He doesn’t remember it, he doesn’t remember the detail.”
Parents, please always bear in mind that children are susceptible to trying things we adults would stay well clear of.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to young Tyler and his family. Share this story to spread the warning over an incredibly dangerous game.
WATCH – Jill Biden : What they’re subjecting Hunter to is severe and ungallant
Jill Biden, America’s First Lady, while in conversation on the renowned news network MSNBC, expressed her sentiments on the harsh criti cism her son, Hunter Biden, is facing in the House of Representatives, citing her disagreement with the manner of the probes.
What they’re subjecting Hunter to is severe and ungallant, she stated with evident soiicitude.
She championed Hunter’s resilience after dealing with a personal battle with substance abu se, affirming her pride in the strength he has shown during his recovery.
Hunter’s journey to rebuild his life from the ruins of addiction is something I deepIy admire and makes me feel proud. As a mother, it pains me to see my son under such scrutiny, a sentiment shared by his children, my grandchildren, confided the First Lady.
This dialogue emerged when MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski raised the issue, which she depicted as an unrelenting fascination with Hunter Biden’s life. The House of Representatives Judiciary and Oversight Committees are currently contempIating a resolution that suggests Hunter Biden should face charges of contempt of Congress.
The conversation took a wider turn when they discussed the current political climate; the First Lady was prompted to share her viewpoint on recent defamatory nicknames/memes thrown at the Biden family, such as referring to them as the ‘Biden Crime Family’ or the infamous ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ jibe.
In response, she didn’t seem rattled but rather amused.
