Originally posted by coquettegood point, so what if the person cannot control their virtual skipping? and just for their own comfort and to the safety of society they can be put in a padded room as they virtually "jump the rope!" as for the being banned people can take the matter to congress and explain why it is so much more safe, concluding that the problem can be avoided. 1 persons every year will be saved!
i suppose virtual rope skipping would be acceptable, unless one presumed that it actually is skipping rope, then it would have to be banned. this is counterintuitive, i realize, but think of it this way. imagine someone is playing chess on a computer and isn't actually moving any 'real' pieces around a 'real' board . . .are they 'really' playing chess? sure d also have to be banned so that some idiot doesn't go and virtually hang himself on it

He did not kill himself. The rope killed him. Much like guns kill people.A Jump rope that kills should (for starters) be banned or at least be incarcerated for life. We can ban jumprope look- a - likes as they commit their killings. They should only be allowed at the Olympic games and training with these deadly ropes should only be done on the moon.

It could well be that some crooked lawyer (Cherie Blair?) specialising in making a fortune from the EU 'Human Rights' legislation will be alloweed to argue in the UK High Court, at vast expense to the long-suffering taxpayers, that the skipping-rope maunufacturers are liable to pay exemplary damages for having deprived this poor kid from reaching old age.
