Man Reaches 70mph On A Shopping Trolley

Oh sure, anyone can reach that speed given that they added a rocket engine to the shopping cart. That isn't a record. That is just a stupid looking race car. Now you REALLY want to shopping cart record? Go to the highest hill in your town and ride JUST the cart down the steepest part. I am sure you will get to 70 mph quickly if you don't wipe out first and be subjugated to the worst road rash of all time.

My sister tried to race down a mountain road once - on a ten speed with no brakes and she found herself wiped out on the bottom of the road with scrapes from her head to her feet. When she crashed she violently slid down the gravel driveway. I am sure she almost reached 70 mph

This was back in the days before helmets were mandatory or even purchased.

We didn't know anything had happened until this bloody 7 year old dragged the broken bike up onto the front porch and screamed for help.

She was pretty messed up. In fact my mother spent most of the evening removing bits of rock that had become embedded in her skin. It took her all summer for the deeper wounds to heal once she had been properly debrided at the hospital. So many bandages that she looked like the mummy.

I will never forget how the rest of us sat quiet at the supper table eating our spaghetti diner until my cousin said "My plate looks like Kimmy". Then we laughed and laughed.
