[quote=Anonymous]Here is a restaurant like this in a hotel in Pentagon City.  I don't understand if the kid wasn't crawling on the floor how he could have gotten caught.  I read that the family was the absolute last patrons of the lunch service and no other patrons were in the dining room.  I speculate the parents were wrapping up paying the bill, and getting up, etc and the child walked over to look at the view.  I don't envision the child running loose and the parents sippping wine not giving a shit.

It seems to be a freak accident.  If the rotation automatically shuts but it took 30+ minutes to free him his head injury must have been from the pressure.  That is just horrible.

As someone who has worked in many types of restaurants when I was young, there are several kinds of hazards for children and I highly stress not permitting your children to leave the table without you; such as: falling over things, bumping into servers, having hot food and drinks spilled on you when you bump into a server, getting hit in the face with a door, getting your fingers smashed in a door, bumping into another table and spilling their food, falling because floors can be slippery, etc.  I don't think in this situation the child was using the restaurant as a playground but let the story to be a reminder that there are many hazards in restaurants[/quote]
