I watch a lot of fail videos, the type where young people are trying to do something spectacular on a bike or a skateboard and such, and then fail so badly it hurts just seeing them crash. For every success video there are a dozen fails. Honestly, a shot goes up my spine just watching. Men getting racked by falling hard on a handrail, teenagers smashing into concrete block after a long jump with a failed flip, people nearly breaking their necks, but they're all trying to do something unusual. They know the risk and the cost and we see them pay it.
But then there are people just being really stupid. I must say boys are prone to this. Having been one myself. The thing is, boys are tying to discover physics. Boys honestly don't know why you cannot jump from a speeding vehicle. They think once you leave the vehicle it's the same as if the vehicle was parked. Boys think their legs can withstand the impact of jumping off the roof. We think about it and it seems reasonable. We don't know our own bodies and we have to learn what self-abuse is and that it really hurts.
Incidentally, a friend of mine fourteen years my senior skied off the top of my roof successfully. He calculated carefully. The snow was quite deep and it was nothing he hadn't already done a million times on black diamond slopes. He's the best skier I know. Still, it was awesome!
We want to get inside a tire and roll down a hill. We have to learn by doing to keep our arms and legs inside the tire. We have to learn to protect our tongue when jumping off the counter and to protect our elbows from smashing our
But sometimes it appears that girls never grow up. They expect to be protected their entire lives. I see this in crowds such as Taste of Colorado. Sometimes, not always of course, but sometimes grown women behave in public like little girls. It's like a mental submission.
This is such an example. It's hard to watch. See, I'm trying to protect you here. Don't watch this:

Not about growing up, but about Nature (or evolution).
It's why feminism, like socialism, will never work.
Okay, I didn't watch it. When I was a very young man I went through a golf phase. And being stupid and willful and impatient I didn't heed the rule to not hit off the tee with your driver until the foursome in front of you is well out of range, like at least three hundred yards out in front of you. Anyway I hit a perfect drive, straight and well over 200 yards and it hit a lady in the foursome ahead of us on her heel. On the fly. Lucky for me she didn't suffer more than a bad bruise and I wasn't beaten up or thrown off the golf course, both of which things probably should have happened. Yes, you're a damned fool in your youth.
No I will try to derive a man/woman morality life lesson from someone getting whacked upside the head with a driver other than, everyone stay the fuck out from behind someone getting ready to use a driver.
Surprisingly, a cell phone was not involved.
I dislike being mean but maybe that knocked some damn sense into her. Then again it almost seems staged, I mean she was watching him swing... perhaps she has reduced vision, yeah, that's it.
