    SO, wait a minute. The chute had the door on it?

    If so, what more do you really want? It's like opening a window and walking out.

    one life lost is one too many....something must be done, we must take action now to stop these horrible killers from killing again.

    Did you hear about the psycho who went on a rampage in a school using a trash shoot?

    I didn't either.

    This is as good an argument as the pro gun crowd can muster for being able to own military grade weapons as really cool things for shooting stuff with. Do you see why it is so important to legislate gun reform?

    Yikes.

  • this made me chuckle, thanks for that. as far as the topic is concerned i think we need to ask ourselves two questions....who can we blame that isn't directly responsible? and what can we ban? ban ban ban

    Training, size regulations on the chutes, safeguards and restrictions on access to the chutes could all help reduce the death toll significantly.

    Public access to R2 units will also significantly reduce the number of people that are crushed to death by compactors in instances that they fall into the trash chute and survive the impact.

    Question: How do people 'fall' into a chute... that is 48 inches above the floor?
    ...
    And yes... something must be done. Maybe, a law that does not allow people that will climb into a 4 foot high trash chute live above the First Floor of the building.

    So, would you simply prefer a land without any restrictions whatsoever?

    Do you think that would work out well? Unlimited freedom to do as you please without any intervention aimed at safeguarding the public? Could people actually pull that off? Or are some laws, regulations, and bans bans bans necessary?

    Gravity is clearly the problem here, not the chute.. I hate when gravity uses it's powers for evil.. such a shame.. maybe brack-o can do something about this..

    I totally agree. Gravity has been my enemy on more than one occasion. I say, NO MORE GRAVITY!

    I re-thought my position... we have too many laws already on the books and more laws means more stuff we can no longer do... therefore, a clear threat to our freedom... our way of life.
    Therefore, i propose more chutes... because, if every building had more chutes... then... more chutes would be available to... more... people, so... they will... be more safer... or something...
    Remember, chutes don't kill people, people falling down chutes kill people.

    put yourself against a 4 foot high fence. hold something heavy over it. reach a bit further to make sure it gets all the way.

    pretty easy.
