Every day I truly wonder why people no longer have common sense. Today I saw a non-SUV drive through a huge puddle, enough to swamp any car, why would you do this???I was listening to comedy act on XM yesterday about people forced to wear helmets now when biking. And I agree with comic, in the past if you fell you got hurt, maybe got a scar, whatever; but you learned from your mistakes. Now we're being regulated to safeness, that no one is learning what's not safe anymore. Forcibly scrubbing kids with anti-bacterial creams, so that when the kid grows up and goes out into the 'real world' they're be sick all the time from germs they were never able to become accustom to.
Not only did we used to learn from our scars, but we learned from other's mistakes. If you knew someone who rolled car, well you learned from their mistakes, and at least tried to prevent yourself from similar incidents. I learned, when you hear a clicking fence, you shouldn't investigate it......it was electrified.
In the above posted image, I can clearly see/feel the scrapes, and cuts from the planned attempt...yet I do think a street luge and a helmet would make this just as fun.
