Sun Blade: Death Trap Kids

Here is the first anti-Sun posting on blogs.sun.com!

<tongue-in-cheek>
If you've been reading all along (and who hasn't!) then you know I have a Sun Blade 2000 at home. I also have a 20 month old daughter, Hayley.

The two don't mix well.

Hayley - before Like most paranoid parents, we spent lots of money on over-priced safety products that include foam pads and double sided tape. We had every sharp corner in the house covered in padding, or so we thought. To date, Hayley has never touched any of these pads, except to bite them or to remove them, but she has never fallen on one.

Hayley - after Enter the Sun Blade 2000, with its dangerous, baby-slicing edges (Sun BLADE, indeed). Tucked next to my desk, three of its razor sharp corners are inaccessible, but the fourth was left negligently exposed at toddler chin level.

Now enter Hayley, bright-eyed and eager to show Daddy her latest trick. Innocently running, she slips and hits the one unpadded corner in the entire house, the Sun Blade 2000. Tears and crying follow, some of it from Hayley. There is blood. There is pain. There is anger and guilt. Murphy and his law is cursed once again. On a side note, Band-Aids on kids don't work. Band-Aid == Food

The Sun Blade 2000, before and after the incident, is shown below.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Thats the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. I needed a good laugh. :) As a father of a 14 month old I definately can identify. Thanks Kevin! :) [FYI: Ultra2's are very child friendly, my daughter loves to climb on mine.]

Thanks, Ben. I assume that's your daughter on the cuddletech home page. Cute!
