"Mrs Stephen started seriously thinking of developing the Walkodile in 2002, but it took years to get it onto the shelves as it went through rigorous safety testing."
I wonder if they tested what would happen if a vehicle went through the middle of them?

rubbish invention. I've seen things like this all over the world, only schools just use some rope (central rope, then bands to each child).
I mean wtf? There is no IP protection here and you can do the same, for free, with something that is easier to fold up.
Flabberghasted.
If this is the best invention scotland has to offer, they are in a world of pain. This is going to make a couple 100K MAX. It just can't do more.
I'm angered by this.

"The average Englishman in the home he calls his castle slips into his raincoat, patented by Chemist Charles Macintosh from Glasgow, Scotland.
En-route to his office he strides along the English lane, surfaced by John Macadam of Ayr, Scotland.
He drives an English car fitted with tyres invented by J. Thompson, Stonehaven, Scotland.
At the office he receives the mail bearing adhesive stamps invented by John Chalmers, Bookseller and Printer of Dundee, Scotland.
During the day he uses the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell, born
in Edinburgh, Scotland.
At home in the evening his daughter pedals her bicycle invented by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, Blacksmith of Thornhill, Dumfries shire, Scotland.
He watches the news on television, an invention of John Logie Baird of Helensburgh, Scotland, and hears an item about the U.S. Navy founded by John
Paul Jones of Kirkbean, Scotland.
Nowhere can an Englishman turn to escape the ingenuity of the Scots. He has
by now been reminded too much of Scotland and in desperation he picks up the
Bible, only to find that the first man mentioned in the good book is a Scot,
King James VI, who authorized its translation.
He could take to drink but the Scots make the best in the world.
He could take a rifle and end it all, but the breech-loading rifle was invented by Captain Patrick Ferguson of Pitfours, Scotland.
If he escaped death, he could find himself on an operating table injected with penicillin, discovered by Sir Alexander Fleming of Darvel, Scotland, and given chloroform, an anesthetic discovered by Sir James Young Simpson, Obstetrician and Gynecologist of Bathgate, Scotland.
Out of the anesthetic he would find no comfort in learning that he was as safe as the Bank of England founded by William Paterson of Dumfries, Scotland."

nice list, all of which can be made by anyone with no payment to the originator..
device looks pretty, what happens in an accident when normally the kids could run out of the way of say an oncoming car or some cyclist who heads towards them ? they are stuffed, while a q of kids would simply scatter
