Would the mum stop blaming the goalposts. This kid wasn't at a jungle gym. If he wants to hang his 70kg body upside down from random objects then he needs to be careful about what the structure is.

it's bnever the parent's fault, I love how she calims you can't stop kids climbing on things - this may be true but you can sure as hell tell them to climb on something else.....feel sorry for the lad, but as kids we were always tld not to hang climb on the goal posts cause they get damaged - I wish parents would take some repsonsibility.

Agreed. The movable posts serve a very good purpose at training grounds, which i'm pretty certain this field is.

plus it also allows for the lawn mower dude to do his job.....its probably a multui purpose ground, you can't have footy posts up all year, the cricketers would hate it.

Awatapu College student Robert Harvey was swinging upside down on a unsecured metal goal in Takaro Park when the crossbar suddenly fell on him
See,interesting use of language in that article. As much as i feel sorry for the guy...It didnt suddenly fall,he was swinging upside down on it. It was almost inevitable,and what he was doing was dangerous.
As a kid this was always drummed into all of us.

The guy's 15 - hardly a kid. It's not the football club's or Council's fault that his age matches his IQ.

We will never fully decide who has won the football.

if an idiot falls from a tree and no one is around, does anybody care?

File under "sh*t happens" imo.
15 year old boys do dumb sh*t. have done since the beginning of time, will do till the end of time. to be honest, it's a miracle any of us survive our teens at all.

Only slightly related but there was a story going around recently that a guy in lower grade footy was taking the nets down after a game (or putting them up - doesn't matter) and he was jumping up to unhook the net, got his wedding ring caught in the metal hook on the frame of the goal and ripped half his finger off. I've always wondered if it was an urban myth. Can anyone confirm?

I don't think it's a myth. Not sure about it happening here but I've heard of that happening at least a couple of times overseas.

Happened to a guy in my dads team when I was growing up. Whole finger didn't come off, but the finger was 'de-gloved' (I think that is the technical term).

This evoked quite a few letters in the paper and nearly everyone said it was the kids fault and to stop blaming the council. About time people took responsibility for their own stupid actions. Just like blaming the cops when some idiot dies from a car chase.
