Recently here in Massachusetts on the news they showed a story about a small boy who was killed when the sliding door on his mom's minivan slammed shut on his head.

What seemed to have happen, is that his mother was dropping off at school, and as she pulled up to the curb, she hopped out without putting the minivan in PARK. So as she jumped out, it kept moving forward. At the same time the kid in the back, slide the door back and started getting out. Just about the same time he was getting out, the minivan slammed into a telephone pole. The front end of the minivan was crushed in big time...it wasn't a little dent. At which point the sliding door slid forward and crushed the little boys head. As I said earlier, tragic.

But what sent off this rant, was the fact that they reported there was "a investigation into why the door slammed shut." WTF, I can solve that fuckin mystery right now. The minivan SLAMMED INTO A FUCKIN POLE!

If you've ever dealt with a sliding door, you know that when opened fully the door, semi-locks open. With a little extra tug, it'll slide forward again and close. If a minivan SLAMS INTO A FUCKIN POLE, that easily approximates more than a extra tug needed to shut the door!

The only thing that has saved me from losing my mind over this is the fact it's the police that started this "investigation" not the mother. Considering it was the mother that left the minivan in drive that caused it to roll forward and slam into a telephone pole. At this point, I think the "investigation" should be closed, and the mother should just move on and grieve.
