Some Things are NEVER a Good Idea
I’m fairly open to new experiences, but after seeing enough videos on TV and on the web, it’s pretty apparent that certain activities are usually going to end in failure. Here’s a few examples:
- Parasailing. Even If you manage to take off without grinding your face into the ground, keep in mind you still have to land at some point.
- Piñatas. Here’s an idea! Let’s blindfold a kid, give him a stick, spin him around and tell him to have at it. Guaranteed someone is getting hit in the face and/or groin area.
- Trampolines. Usually the ownage results from people trying to go a little too far above their skill level, i.e. "Well I can jump pretty high, so I can probably do a backflip!"
- Model glider planes. These things are expertly engineered to take off from your hand, fly in a perfect backwards loop, and hit you in the back of the head. Every time!
I’m sure there’s many more, these are just a few off the top of my head. Any others come to mind?
