If you go online and just search for
Pokemon Go! accidents a lot of things will pop up. As of right now
the headlines say two men fell down a cliff looking for Pokemon, two
officers were hurt when someone backed into their cruiser, in
Pennsylvania a 15 year old girl was hit by a car playing the game
because she crossed a highway, a kid in Britain was hit by a
motorcycle crossing the road playing the game, four people had to be
rescued from a cave, and a pileup occurring when a guy stopped his
car in the middle of a highway in Massachusetts to catch a Pikachu.
When these stories started popping up I thought they were made up
because I for some reason still have a small amount of faith in
humanity. One story I thought was a perfect storm of stupid involves
a 28 year old guy named Steven Carry that broke his ankle and got
lacerations on his legs after he crashed his younger brothers car
into a tree trying to catch a Lapras while driving and playing the
game.
His mother spoke in an email, which I
never suggest a prent does when their child does something
ridiculous, saying that Steven was “injured and extremely tired
right now” and “my son is a former marine who is trying to be a
firefighter and EMT.” I can just imagine him being pulled from the
wreckage imagining that he were on the other end of it and not
looking at his mangled legs because he had to catch 'em all while
driving. His family has launched a campaign to raise $3,000 to
replace the car that was wrecked. Yeah...but no.
