A while back I worked in a bike shop (push bikes) and a lad I knew from School came in to get a helmet that his Mum was buying him for his birthday. We had to put in back in the box so his mum could wrap it up for him and he rode off wobbling all over the place with a large cardboard box balanced on his bars. Thankfully he wasn't run over and killed through carrying the helmet badly in its box! Now that *would* have been ironic!
