After Tad calmed down, My bro-in-law offered to take him on his back.   He'd been sledding head first all day - he was fearless!  Tad did seemed to like it a lot better.

The bottom of the hill ends in the road, with a pretty good drop.   The only way to stop was to roll off before you got there, or have someone catch you.   Tad thought the bottom 20 feet was enough fun.

(The picture on the top right is misleading - the kid really did get out of the way.  But who seriously walks up the middle of the sledding hill?)  
The top left picture was our only real accident.   We'd done well at avoiding the pine tree at the bottom of the hill - until I suggested my nephews hold onto each other as they came down.   Douglas tried to help Brandon avoid it, but he hit his head.  Ouch!   Luckily, it was just a goose egg.  
Notice the ambulance in the back ground of the bottom left picture?   Across the sidewalk, someone was sledding in the more wooded area and really did hit a tree bad enough to be taken off by a stretcher.  
The bottom right picture was Douglas "trying" to stop Brandon at the bottom of the drop off.  :}
