The 501st Legion received an invite to participate in a birthday party for a young boy who is particularly fond of Star Wars. It was hosted at a place named Planet Jump in Largo, FL. The establishment houses large inflatables, similar to what people my age refer to as a "moonwalk". They had a cake made for the event that resembled a .75 scale R2D2, which not only looked awesome but tasted just as amazing.
There were about 15 kids at the party and it was a lot of fun. Then it happened....
After we got out of costume the family invited us to stay for a while and hang out. I was meeting with my family about 25 miles away so I dipped out, the others stayed behind to play on the inflatables. So about 30 minutes after leaving I get a call saying "we are taking Robert to the hospital, he broke his leg." Purportedly he had been on a large inflatable with a long slide and made an unfortunate turn at the end, snapping his leg in 3 places.
No good deed goes unpunished.
