Girl killed using a Landy roof as a sledge
« on: February 04, 2009, 10:15:46 »
Teenage girl dies in sledge crash.

Very sad.

Quote
The girls had been using an improvised metal sledge, believed to have been made from an upturned Land Rover roof, which is understood to have gone through a barbed wire fence.

I'm guessing a hard top from a series 88.  I bet it would have gone very fast and been impossible to get off.

Very sad indeed but the TV news made a big deal of the roof coming from a 4x4 - another dig !  :roll:

A tragic loss indeed. My sympathies are with the family.
