A 6-year-old boy in Florida was left severely injured at a theme park after apparently falling from a ride that was nearly two dozen feet above where he was found, authorities said.

    nearly two dozen feet

    Aye, the lad be very damn lucky he fell mark twain 'thout dyin!

    That’s almost 8 yards, he didn’t get a first down.

    Not trying to lessen the tragedy, but we gotta get better with measurements, this is ridiculous.

      Yards are too similar to meters, us commie Europeans would actually know how much that is. Can’t have that.

        If only they had made yards and meters equal then we could talk to each other in our preferred units. I’m perfectly happy to concede to a bigger yard.
