8. Shopping Cart Anchor
Apparently there is a game in the United States called “The Shopping Cart Game”. Now, versions of this game have been seen played by Bam Margera and his crew of misfits in the CKY movies, but this specific incident is a bit different. Launching a human shopping cart load off a dock and into the water, the occupant swims back to shore, and the shopping cart is reeled back out (being tied off to a tree or post). Well one eighteen-year-old decided that it would be a great idea to make himself the anchor point for this game… Chance (a ridiculous name for this story, but true all the same) tied the line attached to the cart, to himself. And his buddies carried out the gang as per usual. Shoving the cart down the dock, launching it into the water. Unsurprisingly, Chance happened to be pulled down with the cart and its occupant. Dragged along the dock, and into the drink. Found hours later in water 9m deep, the young man obviously took a… chance… and didn’t luck out. FYI: playing anchor to the weight of a shopping cart, and a human, under water… not a smart idea.
