Attack of the killer toboggan hills

What a remarkable coincidence...
As debate continues over whether helmets should be mandatory for tobogganers, emergency officials in the Toronto area responded to more than a half dozen sledding injuries over the weekend...

The injuries underline a debate over a helmet law for tobogganers.

I say again: what a remarkable coincidence: all these injuries, on precisely the weekend that the media have elected to make this an issue. The only conclusion we can draw is that tobogganing has suddenly become much more dangerous than ever before, at least if you happen to live in a major media centre like, say, Toronto.

Why, it's almost as if the hills have eyes... as if they've been lying in wait for this moment... as if they'd planned this... All the latest hysteria here.
