Full tackle football.

WWF matches on the trampoline. And not those pussy ones they make now with the net around it.

Our entire neighborhood would play full contact roller hockey without helmets or pads of any kind other than gloves. I genuinely miss coming home literally every day and the first thing we did was roll on down and played until it was too dark to see. My brother and I always played on opposite teams and we always laid the biggest hits on each other (obviously). We also destroyed so many plastic nets before our parents said frick it and got us a full sized metal net for Christmas one year. Our trophy was a green traffic cone.

We would try to double bounce each other off the trampoline. Had to get good at rolling when you hit the ground.

We did all sorts of stupid stunts. We decided to reenact the scene from Home Alone where Marv and Harry get hit in the face with a paint can. We used a rusty Folgers coffee can filled with crayons. That one resulted in 14 stitches across my buddy's forehead.

There was another one when we convinced a different buddy's little brother to "bungee jump" out of a tree in his back yard. Dislocated hip for him, but could have been a broken neck.

We timed each other on my go kart to do laps around my uncles yard. I tried to cut a corner and caught the horse pasture electric fence on my throat. My brother thought I had been decapitated.

There were tons of other stupid stuff that we did. Frozen Paintball wars, bottle rocket/roman candle wars, we had a glass yoohoo bottle blow up in another friend's hand trying to make a drano bomb work, and some others that I am probably forgetting. I'm not sure how we all made it.

We used to pile up leaves in the back yard and jump into them off of the garage. It hurt, but no one wanted to be that guy that didn't actually jump. If you put me up there today, it would be, "Oh, frick no. Maybe... and I mean maybe if the garage is on fire."

BB gun wars

I used to do this with a friend of mine. We'd run around my house with a BB gun in one hand and a pillow as a shield in the other hand

I took a dart in the leg playing a game in our yard. Not a lawn dart, but a bar room type dart. We were just chuking them at tree trunks like 30 yards away (we loved on a couple acres). Got confident enough to be on opposite sides like horse shoes. Should not have trusted who I was playing against...

My brother and I also used to be really into wrestling so naturally we would wrestle in one of our bedrooms all the time. One time I gave him a knee straight to the temple and saw him go limp. I thought I'd killed him. Really all that happened was he hurt his jaw a little but I still feel terrible about it to this day.

My generation had airsoft so slightly safer. But we dressed up in full on military tactical equipment from the local surplus store plus online shopping was just starting to really hit it big so we could get some legit shite on airsoftgi. I used to pack an FN Scar and a Riot shotgun that actually loaded shells and sprayed pellets. My brother always rocked a sniper rifle. Assault rifles were pretty popular.

As kids our house had an unfinished full basement. Wasnt much down there. but with the lights off it was DARK.

We used to get all our kid friends down there and hand them all a piece of hotwheel track then turn the lights off and everybody would start swinging.

My brother and I would go hid behind the hot water heater and let our friends just beat the shite out of each other.

That has to be the most dangerous. Each Kid get a big bucket of rocks from some construction going on at the front of the hood and haul them to the woods. We did this in dense woods(Where Natchez Trace Neighborhood is now off Siegen next to Dunhams Football field). Incredibly dangerous.

2. BBGun Wars

3. Bottle Rocket Wars

4. Roman Candle Tennis(Shoot them at someone who tries to deflect the shots with a tennis racket)

5. Headbutt contests(headbutt each other till one gives up). Probably why I have migraines.

6. Set Spiked booby traps in the aforementioned woods. We tried to emulate shite we saw in First Blood and Missing In Action.

We lived in the country. The side of the lake was grown up in willow trees. We spent the summer climbing as high up in the tree as we could get. Then the other guy would chop it down with an axe.

We would ride it down. Sometimes inti the lake. Sometimes the ground.

What could go wrong.

Oh we did the street hockey /roller hockey thing big time. used to be some epic fights. Sent a couple of kids home with stitches. Played every goddam day. We'd announce the games too. One day it would be Rangers vs Blackhawks, next day Flames against the Bruins. My brother was excellent at it and knew all the NHL players at the time. This was late mid 70's. Eons ago.

Played it as a kid. Had a friend of the family who lost an eye due to one. Felt bad for him at first, but he was a little bitch about it. Would use him losing an eye for an excuse for everything. Our families were at dinner and he didn't like what he ordered, and straight up used his "bad eye" as an excuse. Still pisses me off a little 25 years later.

My dumbest is jumping off of bridges into the river, I think back and remember all the times some of us hit limbs/trees that were under surface going downstream. Other than some scrapes, it's amazing nobody got hurt.
