One time I tried to test if a 440 volt leg of entering electrical service was hot by using a wire and making a spark to ground.  It was and the spark was a virtual explosion that blew me across the room.

haha..I a have few. When I was younger, we had a contest who could scare my brother the most when he was on the back on the dirt bike....Long story short.. I ended up jumping the dirt bike into a barbed wire fence. Shirt was sliced to pieces...only one cut on my stomach. Bike had to be cut out of the fence though. I was VERY lucky.

One as an adult.....

I had been having "hard openings" with the new skydiving gear..... So, on the next jump I was going to reach up and grab the risers after the extended...to set myself up in the harness a little to prepare for the opening. Well, I didn't look up.....reached too soon and stuck one of my fingers b/w the risers. So, I got my finger slapped at 120 mph. Opening still knocked the crap out of me.....and now my finger felt numb...hmm what is that? Oh, look it is the bone in my finger! haha. It laid the skin on the top of my finger over the knuckle. Good times!

And of course..there was the drunken ballistic helmet slide in Korea...But we will save that for another time.

    Heh, I've had that. ouch.

    Lets see...I have a list similar to yours:

    • waterskiing in Jan. No wetsuit. Light snow. (actually an organized event)
    • attempting to ski black the first day on snow ski's ever
    • riding a homemade waterslide, built with plywood on top of concrete that ended with a ramp and a kiddie pool. An x-ray later showed I did not have a broken hip and I ran a marathon the next week.
    • You can't forget the jumping off the roof as a kid, onto the trampoline and attempting to bounce into a pool on the rebound...

    Thats all for now. I want to save some respect for myself around here.

    oh crap..the jumping off things onto the trampoline.....It is usually ok until the trampoline gets wet. That is when you let your friends go while you get the video camera.

    How about doing a flip off the trampoline and landing in the sand volleyball court.....Worked several times when I was there with my buddies...of course when you try to show off in front of the girls, you over rotate and do a 1.25...into a sand belly flop... haha. They were very impressed with my mad trampoline skillz.

    Well...being as I am at the prime "young and stupid" age and I still have 6 months till I am offically released from college...I think I should keep most of mine under wraps, lest my diploma be in jeopardy.

    Yeah we used to do the see how to scare each other on the dirtbikes... but actually it was a Spree, and they certainly arent as nimble as a dirtbike, so jumps and ditches to knock each other off the back made for broken sprees, and people. But it sure was fun!

    haha..it was fun..And actually all was good until he decided he wanted off the back. Instead of just falling off, he pulled me back... now I am laying on the seat with the throttle cracked.....hitting the power band right before hill. It was actually a pretty long jump....That fence was a good ways away.

    Haha... oh I can see it! I just remember after we would recollect ourselves, we would decide to try it again... go figure. And my driver had already crashed it and got 2nd degree burns from a skid downhill... so I should have known better than to let her be the one to drive me around hanging on the back.

    I also remember one time in elementary school we decided to trespass back into this nice gated/seperately police patrolled neighborhood, and apparently they meant they didnt want any riff raff after someone started shooting our bike tires out, with us still on the bikes riding them up a hill! Talk about scaring the poop out of some young kids

    Hahahahahahahahah...hahahahahahahahah...snort.....chuckle.....Oh wait, you're serious, aren't you?

    My stupid kid stunt:

    Neighbors across the street have aquired a DC-10 inner tube from somewhere. The thing is over 5 feet across and a couple of feet high. It's half inflated. Hmm.....if one person sits on it, it squishes down and the other side goes up. If your older brother and a couple of friends run full speed into the side opposite you, the action reverses itself in short order. Wheeee!!!!

    At 10 years old, it seemed like a good idea the first 10 or so times until I got vaulted kind of sideways and landed on my right wrist, breaking both bones. Bonus stupidity: my 12-year old sister cut through the same yard on the way home from her friend's house about 30 minutes later and managed to do the exact same thing to her left arm. It only took her 1 try, though.

    Stupidest college stunt that somehow didn't end in injuries:
    Jumping out a second story window of my fraternity house into a 5 foot high pile of snow after a huge snowstorm. While others escalated to boxer-only jumps and, of course, naked jumps. I kept my clothes on but started doing front flips out the window. Used to have a great shot of me in mid jump. I'm completely upside down in mid-air. Idiot.

    Shocking?!?  I'll say it was very shocking indeed!  It felt like I got hit in the chest with a sledgehammer.  I flew back into a the back wall and lay against it for quite some time dazed and confused ....

    I was acting in Much Ado About Nothing as Don John the evil bastard and went to go put on my sword belt, with the sword attached...I decided that this was a bad Idea so reached for the sword to take it out of the belt, and as I did so, the sword shifted and slid out, as my hand was in front of it.  Right across my finger.  It was suppose to be a prop sword and not be sharp...um they were wrong...it was quite sharp...luckily it was just a couple stitches...I have several theatre injuries.  Its not as safe as one might think.

    Got a bit impatient trying to light a campfire.  My wife and I were with another couple and the girls were gone while the guys were trying to light the fire.  Decided the Karosene might help things out a bit.  Sprayed it on the wood, lit the match and whoossshhh!  I am lucky to have kept my eyebrows along with any other potentially fried body parts.  Wives came back and said, "Nice campfire, why does it smell like burning flesh though?"  I looked down and all the hair on my arms were singed and curled.
