Yes, those little innocent bimbas, with little innocent children on them, can be dangerous.
They go flying down roads on Shabbos at high speeds. Until now the main form of damage caused was to the kids shoes that are used as brakes. There was possibly the occasional injury as well. The main problem until now has been complaints about the noise caused by these bimbas, disturbing people resting in their homes.
This past Shabbos in Bnei Braq an 80 year old rav was involved in a bimba crash. As he was on his way home from shul on Friday night, was hit by a speeding bimba. The rav was knocked over and broke his nose in the process.

Maybe the State should regulate bimba driving and require licenses and driving regulations...

We had an ambulance level bimba incident on Katlav this past Shabbos, a serious enough fall to cause a large head gash and possible concussion.
ReplyDeleteDangerous, definitely dangerous. Should be regulated and require regular safety inspections and yearly use certification.
