So, fricken hilarious to say the least and I can totally picture myself or any number of my friends trying it. The fact is though MOST of us are probably not up to being a real life ninja.

Discussion - have you or any of your friends attempted something ridiculously dangerous and accomplished or failed miserably at it? Physical injury is not required but it always makes it funnier.

As for me - 15 yrs ago or so me and the lads were playing in the construction houses. We decided to jump from one roof to another. It's about 10-12 ft I guess but the roofs were slanted in our favour. As in, they were on a plane where the higher end would be where we were jumping from and landing on the lower side of the next roof and so on and so on. We made it over 5 gaps without stopping then, turns out the plane is switched halfway down the street. We didn't notice so 2 out of 4 of us took about a 23ft (2 stories + 3 foot for roofing, I figure) plunge to the rocks below... good times... One broken arm and numerous bruises and abrasions were the only injuries so not too bad all around.

Yes, I fell but did not break anything.

you?

That story is kinda funny, guy's a delusional idiot though.
And no, I haven't done anything extremely stupid, I'm a little smarter than that.

Nope, never.
I'm very proud of it really, I am an awesome ninja.

 

[WrongSprite]

DON'T LIE TO ME.

And no, I'm one of life's cowards.

I'm not...yet. But about a month ago, i started learning ninjutsu, so some day, i will be.

But...

Countless stories like that, most recent one is that down the street from my friends, theres this alley, with a half broken down door, off it's hinges etc that we walk past almost every night. So one day, we do go up and theres this old workshop place, rickety metal stairs up to it and everything, proper good hideout ;D Stairs lead up to a wooden platform infront of the door, maybe a couple of metres above the ground, my mate and i walked onto it, luckily i didn't go through it - he did though. Twisted ankle was the worse of his injuries. Always love doing stupid stuff like that ;D

i had been drinking and my friends and i were out and about. there was a tree, about 5-6 feet high, still a young tree tho. i was dared to tackle it. I got a running start and put my shoulder into it and was taking the tree down to the ground. However, the tree was quite resilient and even more springy. it bent back up and slingshotted me to the ground. it was hilarious and i enjoyed every second of it.
