Beats getting knocked down by a bus 8O

I wonder what the stats are for victims that suffer accidental death by Art?

Imagine the headlines "Mona Lisa Kills Three in Louvre Slaughter Mayhem.... pictures inside" ::):

Very sad event - only a few miles from where I live. I was out on a leaving do with the guys on Friday night, in Chester le St (where the incident occurred). There were 2 guys collecting for the little girl that got injured - Rosie. They said they were collecting to send her to Disneyland - I put a quid in (emotional blackmail?) - my colleagues didn't (sensible?) :?

Yeah very sad news. Even a hot air ballon can be dangerous
for breaking loose, but a structure of that size, is just a
bit far too dangerous by it's nature.

I seem to remember a similar piece of art like the Durham one in Glasgow Green about 20 years ago :?
Anybody else see it?

They had it in Victoria park . You were given a cape to wear inside which would reflect the light.

The wearing of capes is to be encouraged ::):
