VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A girl was recovering from injuries on Wednesday after the shopping cart she was riding in crashed while careering down a hill at an estimated 45 miles per hour.

The girl suffered a broken shoulder and "road rash" after she and several other youngsters decided to take the cart for a ride in the Vancouver suburb of Burnaby, but lost control of their gravity-powered vehicle, police said.

"Although the incident appears to be one of thrill-seeking, police remind youths that partaking in activities such as these can result in severe injuries or worse, death," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said in a news release.

None of the other youngsters was reported injured.

In high school I used to go in the empty lots at night and find a stray. I'd nose my van up to it and romp on the gas, then hit the brakes. The cart would rocket across the lot and flip over the curb into the street, making a terrible crashing sound.

 

Interesting cart problem: roll the cart backwards and jump on the front, then try to get it to do a 360. It's easy to get a 180 but the full spin takes practice.
