Just steer it onto a lawn. Then apologize to whoever's property you careened onto from your 12 foot perch.

I was thinking the picture was taken at a moment when the kid was just on the verge of punching the photographer in the face.

I love it when babies take the first swing, because then all bets are off.

I was thinking the same thing.

I know there was a woman in Minneapolis a few years back who died when she fell off her tall bike while crossing a bridge over I-94. That has to be up there pretty high on a list of really unpleasantly bizarre ways to die.
