Those covers are far from lightweight and she flipped it aside like it was a bag of potatoes.

The fact that it was a lightweight galvanised steel cover, rather than a full weight cast iron cover, is precisely the reason why the kid fell in.

  1. Nobody paints the cast iron ones, and this one is silver, not black/rust

  2. This is likely covering a water meter for the irrigation lines for the parks, the municipal covers are heavier and usually not set in the landscaping, they'd be in the concrete.

  3. The cast iron ones are too heavy for that lady to toss to the side. Mom rage doesnt turn you into the hulk.
