Last week we brought you video of a college student accidentally falling face first into the snow. This week, we bring you video of a teen intentionally doing jumps, flips, and backflips off a house roof into a pile of snow. Wow.
“I made a huge pile of snow and jumped off the higher part of my roof,” the kids says in the video’s description. “Lots of gainers!”
Again, wow. Watch the incredible video below:
What do you think: stupid or stupendous?

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 2:29pmThis is the type of person who would refuse to buy health insurance at any cost. Or else the type of person who would expect his or her parents to pay for their coverage until age 26. Thirdly, they type of person who could end up in a wheelchair for life and would force insurance companies to cover their preexisting condition at a cost of unlimited lifetime benefits, for a realitively small premium.

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 2:29pmMan my friends and I used to do more dangerous stuff than this way back when. It was all in good fun and we took our lumps and laughed.
Its just another kid having fun and hey at least he was getting some physical exercise and not vegetating in front of an XBOX or PS for 8 hours snacking on cookies, chips and soda.
I though some of the jumps were pretty dang cool and before any of buzz kills say anything I am an intelligent well educated logical thinking person, just not boorish. lol

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 2:17pmTalented young man! Thanks for the “relief” story, Blaze.
Note: We used to jump from our High School’s 3rd story windows into 4 ft. snow drifts. scary as hell, but fun. Yes we were indestructible, invincible, and stupid. Just one more thing I can say I’ve done, unlike the ones whom never had adventure and risk in their lives. Keep pushing those pencils, girls! ; )

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 4:02pmThank you both, I was scanning back through the comments before I posted my rant against all the whiners and I saw these again and was encouraged so scrapped my comments. It’s called living, not just staying alive and he’s doing it well (and not Obese might I add). It actually looks like he really knows what he’s doing and was very cautious starting out (diver probably, maybe a skier or gymnast).

Report Post »Just think, if he was in watching Skins, or off smoking pot, us sane tax payers might get to do an even greater service by paying for his unsupported children in a few years. Maybe it wouldn’t happen, and maybe even if he did get hurt, he/his parents would actually pay the bills, with/without insurance.

Posted on February 18, 2011 at 2:08pmI don’t remember jumping off a roof into snow (because we didn’t have that much snow where we lived when I was a kid), but I do remember playing on the roof. It was not steep, and the view was pretty cool. Easier to get down from than the cottonwood tree. We made a ladder to the roof of a neighbor’s garage, too. Nailed boards to a tree.
Those boys are landing like they have had plenty of experience diving from a high diving board or playing on a trampoline. They seem to know “where the ground is.”

Bottom line: it’s fun and cool AS LONG AS he can pay for his own medical care should something go wrong. I, nor anyone else (except you, I suppose) want to support this kids’ medical expenses for the rest of his life should he mis-judge a landing.
