The sidewalk would be made of a
strong and (relative to concrete) light
material, and each square would be
suspended above a 6-4 foot deep
trench in the front lawn. the blocks
would each be attached to an axel
that runs through the middle, and is
turned by a conveyor belt. when snow
builds
up on the sidewalk, a motor is
activated, a small orange warning
fence pops up in front of the
sidewalk, and each block would flip
over, dumping the snow into the
trench. especially useful to those with
back problems.

This would be cool to watch. I can see it working best if it turns over violently. That way there would be a catapult effect, of tons of snow being flipped into front yards, or the street, like a breaking wave. |

I keep reading this as flippant sidewalk |
|
| |
Could also serve as the diabolical trap door on your doorstep for the Mormons or other sales people. |

Has anyone seen fluffy? (muffled, shivering "meow") |

How about the Evil Flipping Sidewalk to go with the Evil Door? |
|

Hey!!! If you don't like my driving, stay off the flippin' sidewalk!!! |
|

What would happen if one cracked?
Would there be a sidewalk rescue team? |
|

Just riding your scooter/bike down the sidewalk and *Thwomp* you fall down a 6 foot pothole. |

That would be totally awesome to play with. I'll bet you anything tons of kids would stand on them just to get flipped over. |
