We had one of these when I was growing up! I loved it! My house was on a hilly street and we would go right down the street after a snowstorm and the streets were plowed but not sanded. It was a blast and I don’t remember anyone ever getting hurt and I was the youngest of 6 children and we were really spread out. Must have been a miracle because there wasn’t much in the way of steering besides leaning your weight. It was still in great working condition when I went off to college. I wish I knew what happened to it!

Looking at that chair, the first time you hit the leading edge of a bump, you’d snap the back right off while pushing.

A top-heavy device made out of mom’s dining room chair, sliding across the ice? C’mon, what could possibly go wrong?

Looks like Johnny Knoxville was beaten to the punch line. Nice to see people were pretty much insane back then too. lol
