Ya, exactly. I straight up fell off of roofs, drunk, without a scratch or bruise. Yea, plural. Not in the same night, but still.
The level of shit kids can get up to is beyond stratospheric. And, then you add booze or other inebriation and it’s that much worse.
Groups of kids (I’m using kids loosely at this point, for people under 25) can be a double edged sword too. I was at a music festival and saw a wook climbing a piece of art. Before I even processed the view ahead of me I said “it’s time for another good idea, bad idea” and then the guy fell from a height and I saw him break (probably shatter) his femur. It took the ambulance an awful long time to arrive.
My first thought once I processed was “where were his friends?” Because at the end of the day, the people you’re out partying with are the same ones you have to be able to rely on, and well, so much of the time…. What if someone said “hey Kyle, don’t”? Maybe they did, but I bet the odds are lower than they didn’t.
Statistically, something will happen to someone, but there’s no need to increase your own odds too much.
Wow, we have almost identical music festival traumas. In my case I overheard people saying the guy fell out of a tree, but by the time I saw him he was unconscious on a stretcher, with his leg bent the wrong way at the knee. Definitely not the vibe I wanted to start out on that day…
