one incident, an older teenage boy (19) had gotten lost in Gastown in the morning portion of the tour - when Adam found him, he discovered that the boy had fallen behind the group, got lost, and went wandering off, and within a few minutes was accidentally hit (at slow speed) by a taxi when crossing a street. Luckily most traffic in Gastown drives slowly, because drivers recognize there are tourists crossing the road everywhere. As a result the customer was only banged up a little bit on the elbow and he had a sore bottom because he had fallen on the ground. He was fine.
