I bet it was a chore lugging those three 5 gallon pails of water up that slippery slope. . .at 8.3 lb/gallon, that’s a 125lbs in total. I do find it curious, though, as to why he’s doing this? I was born and raised in Michigan and as a kid I went sledding several times after a good snow fall. I don’t ever recall anyone pouring water on the hill before heading down the slope. There was no need to…the snow provided plenty of slip and slide. Perhaps toboggin runs had water poured down their trails as there were specific trails created for them as opposed to the general chaotic mayhem of a hill with a bunch of youngsters heading down the hill every which way.
One of my pet peeves. The over (and incorrect) usage of the term “airborne”. Most often seen in news articles about cars and whatnot. They are not airborne. Airborne means being held aloft by the air, such as in birds and airplanes. Objects like cars and sleds arcing through the air are ballistic. Huge difference. Just me. I’m that way. Sorry.
