Teen twins die in mishap

Pretty sad situation as described in the article. Obviously they were unaware of the gate separating the tracks. 6 other teens injured. Already questions about were was the security but it was a security guard who called emergency. It's a big facility and the 2 guards can't cover the whole site constantly. Sounds like the fence they hopped over needs barb wire added at the top. All hind sight of course. At any rate, it was just teens being teens. I did some dangerous things back then and I know I'm lucky to still be alive. I'm sure the same can be said for most if not all that post here.:

Very sad indeed. Just recently here on our little island a 14 year old boy was killed when the snowmobile he was driving was struck by a car.

Condolences to the family.
