Prevent this tragedy! Not everyone is cut out to be a skater. It's nice to see someone giving it their all, but there comes a time for "some folks" when they should re-think their strategy.
I'm sure any independent skate shop would gladly have told this woman that skating drunk in a pink party dress and high-heels is not what's meant by "tight". They'd have hooked her up with some gear that would give her an edge when riding. Shopping at box-stores, toy stores and sporting goods stores makes you look equally ridiculous. Set yourself strait - shop local, skate global.
Uninformed skaters/consumers need your help. You can lend a hand and help support local skate shops by downloading these SYLSS "Crappy Skateboard" WARNING LABELS (4-up PDF files) and stick 'em on those crappy products you encounter in the mall, discount stores, toy stores and sporting goods stores.
Only independent skateboard shops sell quality products that won't break or fall apart in the first 10 minutes of use. Boards purchased from crappy department stores and gluttonous box-stores are unsafe and will usually result in unnecessary injuries.
Your local skate shop is the only place that cares about you and ensuring you get high quality equipment. Department stores, toy stores and sporting goods stores only want your money. Independent skate shops want to keep you as a customer by helping you get the best products available.
