Wally Trolley Dash

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Nuneaton, England. Late Friday night me and four friends were on our way from a pub to the most interesting club in town (that’s not saying much), this journey took us through a supermarket car park. There were a few trolleys scattered around and some bushes adding color to the area so we decide it will be funny to push someone in a trolley so that it hits the curb catapulting them into a bush, since this would provide a softish landing we think it is perfectly safe. We set it all up with one person off to the side ready to film the incident a willing victim in the trolley and the rest of us pushing it. Everything goes perfectly then as we hit the curb now running at full speed and launching the victim we realize there is a meal pole sticking out of our chosen bush. At this point we are unsure if we laugh or panic, the lack of movement doesn’t ease us. Eventually the projectile gets up with just a torn ear lobe and bruised shoulder to show for the crash. After this the night continued as usual, that means with no more incidents. The moral of the story, always check the landing area before launch.

Thanks for an entertaining story. However I don't think too many people will heed your warning if they try to recreate this little stunt since the requisite alcohol will surely cloud their judgment!
