Injuries cut short Ohio pumpkin smash-and-slide
October 29, 2010
Students from Chagrin Falls High School had their annual pumpkin smash-and-slide cut short due to injuries. For the students at Chagrin this pumpkin tradition has dated back to 1969. What the students do is roll and smash pumpkins down a hilly street in order to make a pumpkin mess that they slide down in slides and trash cans.
Police had to stop the shenanigans 45 minutes later because of the minor injuries that were sustained from some of the students.
This is not really news worthy to me. It talks about students in an Ohio High School and does not really apply to students here in Iowa.
This Story could possibly be more newsworthy if there had been a fatality of any kind.
This story was fun to read, and it applies to Halloween which is right around the corner.

Just supposed to be a brief, fun story, Ryan. But most places — and many schools and colleges — have some sort of odd tradition. Seems like the fun police are cracking down, though.

It’s not right. They should let them do the pumpkin slide IMO…
