I was over at my friends house when he thought of an cool game we could play. He went up in the attic and brought down his slip n slide that he hadn't used since he turned 16. He put it outside the garage on the driveway and turned on the water. He then asked his little sister to pull on the garage door wire, (the one that disconnects the door from the track so it falls freely). When it began to fall he started sprinting towards the falling door. The first stunt went perfectly, he went just under the door and slid to a stop at the end of his driveway. Emboldend by this succesful stunt he tried it again, and again, on the fourth try he decided to take a step back and try it.As he was starting his dive he saw that he couldnt make it but he was going to fast to stop himself. he slammed into the door and was knocked unconcious and gave himself a bad concussion. We took him to the hospital where he spent the rest of the week before finally being released. After the incedent he never used that old slip n slide again.

Did you ever ask your friend what he expected to happen by backing up the way he did? I bet even his little sister would have been able to foresee the results. He's lucky he only ended up with a concussion given how fast he was likely going. Thanks, Patrick!

Beautiful candidate. Forseeable circumstances, moronic behavior, and only the idiot was hurt. Thanks, Patrick, and submit again!
