McCall's Galls

The September 1, 2001, edition of McCall's magazine contains a feature about 'coaster safety that couldn't have been more one-sided if Congressman Markey's publicist wrote it. You can check it out yourself---it's somewhere among features on 10,000 new chocolate recipes, or surveys about how romantic your spouse is, or something like that.

You might even find the story of the little boy who fell off a ride, and hit the pavement five feet from his mother a bit in poor taste, as the mother relates having her son's brain and skull parts sprayed onto her.

(Note To Jeff: Perhaps you should send McCall's a copy of your excellent rebuttal to "Crash" Markey's crusade to make the world safe from amusement parks.)

BTW---Congressman Markey is on the committee charged with the investigation of the Ford/Firestone situation; and I believe he'll probably try to blame that on rollercoasters, also. ("Hey! If a rollercoaster can blow out an artery, it can blow out a sidewall!")

...............NOT MCCALL'S......................
This is what happens when one posts late at night
---actually, very early morning---and all those supermarket magazines look alike. The story is in FAMILY CIRCLE, not McCall's; but the rest of the information is correct. (So, Jeff, send your letter to Family Circle.)

The story is found (really) on page 52.

Sorry folks.
