Toddler hanged by bicycle helmet
Very sad indeed:
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/s...09-910,00.html The first time he wore his helmet JOANNA VAUGHAN April 07, 2007 12:15am WHILE most children await the arrival of the Easter Bunny, Dion Palmer keeps asking why his twin brother can't come back from heaven. Three-year-old Brandon died on Thursday when he was accidentally hanged by the strap of his bike helmet as he tried to climb through a window at his Salisbury East home. The "curious" toddler had climbed on to the washing machine and was attempting to climb though the laundry window when his helmet became wedged. Tragically, his safety-conscious parents had taught Brandon of the importance of wearing a helmet when he rode his bike. His devastated mother, Tanya McNamara, said yesterday it was the first time Brandon had worn his new helmet. "I drained the water tank and the fish pond so he wouldn't get into trouble there, but he was a climber right from the moment he could walk," she said. "I always told the kids they can't go on their bikes without their helmet. "You think they are going to fall off their bikes and hit their heads, you never think anything like this could happen." Brandon's grieving parents, twin brother and sisters Eliza, 5, and Willow, 2, are now wondering how they will find the strength to continue without their "mischievous but lovable trouble-maker". "Dion keeps saying he wants him to come back from heaven. I don't think he really understands what has happened," Ms McNamara said. "He loved his twin brother so much. They always looked out for one another and they were so close, they did everything together. He was mischievous, fun and he was always on the go. "He was also so doting of his little sister, Willow, always trying to protect her. I just wish I heard something and there was more I could have done." |
