Drop a grand from the heli with plenty of kids starved for cash within eyesight... It's a wonder only the two were hurt.

Just think if they would have taken the helicopter up 500 ft and done a nickel drop!

Yes....it has even made the national news. Both espn.com and cnnsi.com had the story on the front page of their website this weekend. I'm guessing they won't have this event again.... Linky

Wow. That's almost like the 5 to 12 year old kid version of Disco Demolition Night at old Comiskey Park.

I just gets worse the more I read...

There were 800 $1 bills and 2 $100 bills dropped from the copter. That was even more insane. Here you have 5 year olds running around that don't really have a concept of what money is worth, with 12 year olds that would compare $100 to a million dollars.

So you have really little kids just excited to be out there, matched with big kids that will probably be desparate in finding the two $100 bills. That be like running a Formula 1 grand prix on US-131 during rush hour traffic. Why would you do such a thing???
