damn, ACL tears fucking suck. on the plus side, you're about to get the superhuman ability to know when it's going to rain soon for the rest of your life

Right. Insurance claims always end up being a part time job.

Thanks. Do you want them? Should be a good show.

You're a good person

Good karma to you!

No one is saying that you need to be 'shocked.'

Maybe just don't, you know, take time out of your day to make a big deal about how happy you are that a couple 20 year olds got killed doing something stupid.

I am new to discussion.

Is the idea to repurpose state land in west Greenwich into dirt bike trails?

Why not just go to places like Exeter where there are dirt bike trails open to public?

I messaged hoping for a reply

Nahhhhhh, saying you should slide into their DM’s, and get the sun lease!

The results show that they were, indeed, wrong enough to be dead. Just facts.

I don't know how people got raised to adulthood with the idea that they can do anything they want, fuck man made or natural laws, and that actions have no consequences.

I have seen those, in the minority of public parks I've been to. You are asserting that it's banned "generally", which is what I am asking you to prove out. Or are you just pulling it out of your ass and assuming that because you've seen one sign, it must be true for every public space?

You'll def be safe...! Just be aware of your surroundings. The Newport #60 will drop you right in front of RWU.... Is kinda scenic, pay attention. As the next stop after RWU is over a bridge. So you can't walk back if u miss the stop.

I would let the driver know your getting off at RWU...

You could uber/Lyft from the airport to Kennedy plaza ( Downtown Providence:)

If u have any ? Let us know!!

When the crash dummies get crash dummied

While both examples are reckless and dangerous, to say that riding / driving recklessly equates to firing bullets aimlessly, is naïve at best.

We have an actual instance where people are dead. It's a horrifying experience for everyone, including the families and friends of all involved.

​

Maybe we should care more and try and educate and find safe, legal places to ride?

Why should I care about another life while they recklessly endanger everyone else's? If someone was running in the streets shooting aimlessly because they got a thrill from it and wanted to look cool in front of their buddies, would you not want someone to put a stop to that immediately? Driving a 200lb missile through the streets is equally dangerous, arrogant and selfish.

i have seen this one time, on north main also. in one of the entrance alcoves next to the dojo. Also in broad daylight

Seriously? You’ve never seen a “no skateboarding” sign in a public park?

> . I responded that places like that generally ban such activities to avoid the liability issue.

Except they don't.

> There are exceptions, but Lincoln Woods being one doesn’t change the general trend.

What's your evidence of that "general trend"? As a rule, public parks allow all nonmotorized transportation.

RI law: "No person shall operate or ride a bicycle, scooter, skate board or other operator propelled vehicle or device in any unit or portion thereof, of the Division of Parks & Recreation after the Regional Manager has made a finding that conditions are unsafe for the operation of such vehicles and has issued an order prohibiting such activity."

Meaning nonmotorized is allowed everywhere by default, and only not allowed where specifically banned.

If you have some data showing how often certain activities are specifically banned, please do share.

That route is a good plan. You shouldn’t run into much issue, just make sure you’re going to the correct letter stop at Kennedy Plaza (I think 20 is stop C and 60 is Y). I recommend you download the WAVE app, purchase 2 day passes ($6 each) and you can just wave the QR code under the reader as you get on (put your phone about 12 inches below it.) Getting a day pass is the best bet because it also covers cost for your ride back, and eats the cost of any mistakes you might make along the way (ex: in case you take outbound instead of inbound and need to catch it the other direction, or if something happens and you have to get off and get back on.) It’s definitely safe. If you’re not sure of any of it you can ask the driver, no promises that they’ll be friendly but they’ll definitely tell you what you need to know.

I said that in response to his asking what happens if you break your leg at Yellowstone or Lincoln woods. I responded that places like that generally ban such activities to avoid the liability issue. There are exceptions, but Lincoln Woods being one doesn’t change the general trend.

I stand by my assertion that these exceptions will carry insurance protecting them from liability arising from these activities.

Ah yes, the totally rational reaction of wishing DEATH upon people. Obviously these kids were in the wrong, but not wrong enough to be dead.

Now two are dead and one is irreparably changed.

And you want more death?

I remember going to some campus student housing. Unfortunately it was so long ago I’m not sure I could tell you where it was, but I think it may have been brick… maybe Nickerson or Homer hall?

Edit: looking at a map I’m now thinking maybe it was off congden, but I’m not sure.

Play stupid games …

I wish everyone else doing this would learn from others’ mistakes. Sadly I don’t think they’re the type to learn that way, so this might not be the last time it happens

So it wasn't you that said "Places like Yellowstone and Lincoln Woods generally ban skateboarding". Must be something wrong with reddit then, because it's saying you did...

I didn’t. The person I responded to did.
