Thankfully our children didn’t inherit his spelling abilities :P
Ah, I was just teasing you....
Hey, no need to get snarky. I just said I wondered why the surface wasn’t flat. I can wonder, can’t I? You gave an acceptable explanation.
That said, I stand by my observation that most people will assume the surface is flat and not slightly slopped. Ergo, they may not see a reason to put the brake on.
Note again that I said nothing about the mother needing to sue.
I think I would be inclined to position the stroller with its wheels parallel to the tracks, in case it happened to get bumped it wouldn’t move toward the tracks.
I use the same thinking when I am stopped in a left turn lane, especially on a divided highway. I keep my wheels straight instead of turned toward the direction of my turn lane. That way if I’m rear-ended, I don’t get bumped into the oncoming traffic. I’d rather be bumped into the median than into the opposing lanes.

Tonight the news said the wind blew it. If you watch the video, it blows it a little and mom moves it back, it sits for a few seconds and then suddenly takes off again. The mom’s coat is flying out as if in a strong wind when she’s leaning over the baby.
