Heavy School Bag Pulls Boy to His Death
A Hong Kong school boy plunged 20 stories to his death when his heavy bag filled with books pulled him over the railing outside his high-rise flat, newspapers said.
A witness to the freak accident on Thursday said the nine-year-old was leaning on the railing when his school bag slipped and dragged him over, the local newspapers reported.
"He was carrying a heavy schoolbag," a police spokesman told Reuters on Friday. "There was nothing suspicious. It was an accident. But we have yet to determine the cause."
Newspapers reported that the boy's bag weighed about 20 pounds.
Schoolchildren in many parts of Asia are swamped with homework and have to lug heavy bags. Some in Hong Kong even resort to buying bags with wheels, much like the suitcases that travelers pull around.
Good god! 20 pounds? I would protest that. Hell - I thought my bag was heavy but that takes the buscuit! Maybe it was a relief that he was killed!

I'm serious - loads of people each year commit suicide because they cannot live up to the school standards of just not handle it. If I had that much in a bag, I would get a petition for lockers or boycott.
"As he was getting off the school bus, the driver didn't see him and closed the doors and started to drive away. The boy's bag was caught in the doors and he was dragged along with it. Nasty."
Ouch - what a way to go.

A couple of months after we left New Zealand, my grandma (who still lives there) sent a newspaper article about this boy at my school who was killed. I didn't know him, but apparently as he was getting off the school bus, the driver didn't see him and closed the doors and started to drive away. The boy's bag was caught in the doors and he was dragged along with it. Nasty.
