Stop This Machine!

You know those moments when you slap a hand over your gaping mouth in order to keep from screaming out? 

When I watched this I noticed I had both hands over my mouth.



Thank God the toddler was okay.  While it was a stupid thing to do, it's horrible when the parents realize what has happened.

That kid needs a beating...or stuffed into a dryer himself.

Yeah, but you can tell by his immediate reaction that he just thought it was an innocent thing to do. I cannot imagine the parents reaction when they realize they couldn't stop the washer.

Yikes.

I can't condemn. I'm just glad my brother lived.....

Rita said...

Dang Ed. Are you suggesting that's what happened to MY BROTHER, CNC? I think you just might be onto something there.

Love ya Mark.

CnC said...

Rita said...

ED did it. Go drag him to the electric fence.

where were the warning labels stating u should take the clothes off first? I see a lawsuit here, where is Gloria Alred?

I can't watch the video....do you SEE the kid rolling around in the rinse cycle ??? YIKES!!

Rita said...

I don't think there is any water, but yeah, it does spin around. It's heartbreaking watching the panicked parents. It almost looks like the man thinks about trying to break the glass, but that would be nearly impossible in those double pained washers.

It's a good thing the store owner was there and was able to stop the machine or the headlines would have been different:

Laundromat Sued Due to Death of Child

How sad that is that you're right LJ.
