SIAP: chip’s Injury

The cannon went off harder or earlier than expected. Slid out of his grip and the recoil hit him right on the point of his hip. They took him on the cart as a precaution and checked him out for any real damage. Just a very large bruise on his side. Chip will be fine.

So no one is getting sued? If this was true why didn’t a shirt come out of the gun?
 
it is best to leave the suit on when they put them down. i agree with that. that way, their big sad glistening pie-eyes aren't silently condemning your mercy.

But what if they have to projectile vomit? You are the expert on the issue.

Will OSHA investigate? Are there going to be new safety standards for tee shirt canons? Will Ralphie have to receive training and wear PPE?
I laughed out loud imagining Chip with his arm in a sling going around to area schools and giving educational seminars to high school mascots about safe T-shirt cannon use....using only hand motions. And then getting yanked back by a handler when he charges at a dude in a wolf costume for doing a mascot laugh at his expense with a shoulder jiggle and a hand to the mouth .

Maybe run Chip at games at the events center …. VB & BB. Can't have Ralphie running indoors.
