Most injuries involve scrapes, cuts and sprains from texters who walked into lamppost or walls or tripped over curbs.
Emphasis mine. The mental image is quite hilarious. I actually saw it just a couple of weeks ago, as a few friends and I were walking to the theater to catch the premier of The Dark Knight. Buddyw as tapping away on his Pearl, and then *wham*. Right into the side of a building. I know it didn’t hurt him too much, so much laughter ensued.
It’s not always a barrel of laughs, though. The article cites two instances of pedestrians being struck and killed by cars when crossing the street while texting. Clearly, this is not a good idea. The texting can wait until you’re back on the sidewalk, where all you’ll hit are pedestrians and the occasional hot dog cart.
