re: What is the dumbest game you played as a kid, that could cause an injury?

I completely forgot about that one

Rock wars. We used the rocks off the railroad

Anything involving a potato gun

My brother and I used to go in the back yard and shoot arrows straight up into the air. Years later, I saw it depicted in the shitty movie Garden State and wondered if my brother's weird story had made its way around the culture.

It wasn't until the wind took one away and we didn't see where it landed that we realized that something bad could happen, and ran under the carport. A couple of days later, our neighbor came over and freaked out on our mom because he'd found the arrow sticking out of his roof, right next to where all of his pool furniture was.

That, and drag racing, I suppose.

Wrist Rocket wars using rocks as projectiles. I hit another guy an inch above his eye and split his forehead open.....last time we played



also..
* shoot arrow (real bow & arrow) straight up and run
* roller derby at a skating ring in college...fraternity rented the place, got drunk, and tried to kill each other
* bicycle ramps
* motorcycle ramps
* who was willing to crawl farthest into drainage pipes
* bottle rocket/roman candle wars

wow...how did anyone survive

Tackle football in the street. Learned pretty quick it wasn’t as much fun as it sounded. Some kids just started fumbling the ball on purpose before being knocked to the ground.

Nut game - i think thats what we called it. Basically two people sat on opposite ends of the locker room with legs spread open. you take turns rolling/bouncing a baseball trying to catch the opponent square in the nads. Not a fun game when you lose.

Oh my God I forgot about this. So dumb.

Red Rover. Had one friend get his arm broken. Another broke his collarbone because he broke through and ran shoulder first into the corner of the neighbors shed.

Bottle Rocket/Roman Candle wars.

Yeah, we spent more time playing on frozen ponds that probably weren't all that safe than I care to admit. Busted a few up while playing on the ice too which wasn't the brightest idea.
