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

Suicide: the game where you throw a ball against the wall, rotating turns. If your buddy fumbles the ball (doesn't catch it cleanly), he must run and tag the wall before the other player picks it up and beams him with it.

Depending on your buddies armstrength, this shite can hurt, especially if played with a baseball. Rubber ball hurts as weep

Screw you

Throw screw drivers at each other way up high. If you got scared and moved to early you were labeled a pussy.

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.

my wifes sister and her family live on a farm near Tallassee Alabama. One thanksgiving, our nephews were out riding an ATV racing through one of their pastures. My wife decides to give this a try and proceeded to crash through a barbed wire fence at speed. She would have been very seriously injured if not for the handlebars taking most of the impact of the barbed wire. Only time I ever saw my mother in law run. Wifey was completely wrapped in barbed wire with appropriate punctures and lacerations to go with it. Took 20 minutes to unwrap her and get her to the hospital. Fortunately she got a tetanus shot and that was all. Boys didn't do the paddy pounder 500 again for awhile after that.

Ramp jumping on the street or sidewalk
Mud clod fights
BB gun or fireworks wars

We would have fire cracker wars with the mini bottle rockets. Those things would come in packs of a hundred or so for cheap. after lobbing several of them at your buddies you would eventually get pretty accurate with them.

Probably wasn’t a good idea

Hmm...this is fun.

The original knuckle check (bloody knuckles).

King of the hill. Except we live in Louisiana and there are no hills, so we played on the damn jungle gym at recess. One of these suckers, it got rough:


WWE Dunk Contest. We'd set the portable basketball goal up next to the trampoline so the rim is hanging over the edge. Everyone picked their favorite wrestler to mimic and you went 1 on 1 trying to dunk on your opponent with full contact WWE style rules. We had one dude that ended up with a bloody nose almost every time we played

We used to have bbgun wars. Paintball was for losers. We'd just wear long sleeves and a face mask. Shoot each other with pellets

No fun digging one out of your arm with a knife

We used to play dodge darts. With real darts. I got hit twice. Once in the leg and once in the arm.
Would also see who would jump off the house from the highest point.

Edward 40-hands

Press arm against another person's, drop lit cigarette in the valley.

You move, you lose.

I burned holes into my arms


Drunken boxing. Spin in a circle as fast as you can for one minute. Then fight.
