waltappel 1 #1 June 18, 2007 From http://www.click2houston.com/news/13521712/detail.html Falling Totem Pole Kills Young Boy Scout Parents Were Nearby LOYSVILLE, Pa. -- A 13-foot totem pole fell and struck a boy on the first day of Boy Scout camp, killing the 9-year-old, police said Monday. Tyler O. Shope, of Shermans Dale, died of head and chest injuries Sunday afternoon, Perry County Coroner Michael Shalonis said. The boy's parents were nearby when the pole fell, and his father helped lift it off him, Shalonis said. No one else was injured. Campers were arriving at the Hidden Valley Boy Scout Camp near Loysville, about 25 miles northwest of Harrisburg, for a week of camping, police said. The boy was waiting outside the camp's health lodge to have his health records reviewed at the time of the accident, officials said. I'm guessing that his health is not considered good at this point.

As always, you're as informative as the studies that say most accidents occur in the places that you spend the most time at.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zipp0 1 #9 June 18, 2007 I went to Hidden Valley Boy Scout camp. I don't think that totem was there back then, luckily. Hopefully, at the very least, the first responders got some merit badges. There have been some freaky accidents here in Central PA in the last few years. A year or so ago a tree fell on a tent and killed a father and son Boy Scout. Must be some bad Karma there. -------------------------- Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
