I was very curious and imaginative when I was 10 years old, but I wasn't a fool... I had enough sense to know that being buried or jumping off a 2-3 story roof could kill me. I'm sure everyone else in this thread/forum would agree when it comes to that as well.

They do believe that what they see on tv can be accomplished without any technical assistance, so to speak. Around ten I had a friend who was crazy about Power Rangers, so much that he always tried to do all the crazy stunts like backflip off a car. Thank god he wasn't too harmed, but he sprained his neck so that his head held at an angle for a week. This process usually required a harness and wires, but kids don't know this.

We can treat almost any disease, and have no more natural threats agaisnt us, so the only way humanity evolves is by Stupid people dying and not being able to carry their Stupid genes further.
Im not saying the child was stupid, but even a 5th grader should be able to figure out that this was not very smart...
Dragon_Disciple;168321 said:You all have serious issues. Death is never anything to laugh about, including that of a kid. Kids that young are impressionable, and they have yet to experience enough of life to resist most urges that seem "stupid". Nobody can be blamed for this; the kid just wanted to do something cool that he saw, it happened to all of us when we were younger.

Yup, my sister is ten and i'd be down right shocked if she thought it was a good idea, i'm pretty sure most kids of that age have gotten past that stage.Tsuyu;168353 said:Amen. Again I'd like to point out that my little nine-years old brother is quite aware that it would indeed kill you, so kids at that age do (normally) have quite a lot of common sense.

And I hate to think what the world is coming to when I'm being called immature for sympathising for the death of a ten year old who didn't know any better. Whether he should have known better or not is irrelevant, he's still dead.
