Agreed! A *real* descent though, not one just to show off technology but one bringing back the original story and finally bringing our hero home from where ever it was we left in orbit.

Ok, kidding aside, I actually did manage to end up with stitches in my eyebrow from a game of tag when I was young.

And oddly enough you lived, your parents didn't sue the school, and you got up and were likely playing within a few days at most.

Why do we want to take the opportunity of teaching our kids how to get back up after you fall away from them?

And it wouldn't surprise me if the school, after the fallout from this, requires parents to sign a disclaimer before the kids are allowed out on the blacktop. *sigh*
