He thought the machine was in reverse, and when he gave it some gas the lurched forward instead.
The 15MPH was only an estimate.
So next time you want to throw around accusations, make sure you know the whole story.

Simply an observation based on what I see and have witnessed many times with "youth" or "others" and toys of any description...such as jet skis, motorcycles, dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, snowmobiles etc. Being "extreme" is the thrill nowadays.
Borderline abuse of machinery is the norm with many...and from there it goes up the line to larger non-toy vehicles as well. Am I mistaken in that thinking?
My "accusation" has no bearing in a court of law with regards to your case...so don't get your panties in a bunch over it.
