Some friends and I were playing this "Hang onto the garage door as it opens" game. When it was my turn again (after we had been doing it for about 45 min), about half way through the cycle the entire thing came crashing down while bending and warping in all kind of directions. My parents were pissed off when thery came home🙁

this thread is hilarious
Around the 2nd grade, the night before the first day of school, I would sleep in my brand new clothes because I was really excited to wear them the next day.

* when i was a little kid i used to watch bonanza and was always fascinated how they branded horses.
One day my mom hat boiling oil on the stove making french fries.
I got a fork and held it in the boiling oil for a while - took it out and "branded" my sister on the cheek 🙂
Parents flipped out and i remember my dad took the fork away from me and wanted to put it on me to show me how it felt...but the fork was cold already 🙂
* Tried to test out my theory whether Guinea Pigs can survive a 40ft fall.
Proved this theory wrong. ("It's just sleeping")
and the mandatory
* threw BIG rocks in the air towards a parking lot
* threw rocks at a roof, damaged roof
Another classic:
* Tried to drill a hole with an electric drill in a full plastic bag of cement.

Have a Roman Candle fight, completely wasted, a couple months ago up at college. Didnt go too well considering we couldnt stand up right for very long.
My friend and I used to have braces and he was always grounded (mean parents). So, with all his spare time he used to make enormous strings out of the little mini elastics that the orthodontist gave you to pull your teeth where they need to go. We then proceeded to string them around the 2-way stop, cars would hit them and slam on their brakes...this was some funny stuff, until one time we did it to some hardcore gangster wannabes in a minivan and they came looking for us with a knife. Never found us as we were hide-and-seek pros of course.
Other than the usual sling-shot, homemade sword, bb gun mishaps, we also made what we called Sh!t mixes, which was basically every grotesque thing we could find (which included actual sh!t), mix it together, let sit in hot shed for a week and then pour over nemesis front porch and parents car...that was mean, but oooohhh gross (and funny)

I tried to sew something on my mom's sewing machine, got my finger caught, and put the needle and thread through the nail of my index finger. Sometime later I was upset with the sewing machine and decided to pee in the wicker basket next to the sewing machine with scraps of fabric inside.
I was practicing archery in my backyard and become bored with being able to see the target, so went to the front of the house and shot the arrows over the house to see who could come the closest to hitting the target.
Decided to attempt the sideways splits with my legs, so I slowly allowed my legs to spread apart, once my muscles relaxed enough I would slide down more. I made it all the way down with each leg out to each side but I could not get myself out of that position until my mom came by to pull me up a long time later. That hurt very bad.
Playing baseball in the backyard, I consistently hit line drives back at my brother who was standing no more than 10 feet away and pitching me the ball. At the time that was a long distance and I was so proud I was hitting the ball. My brother soon tired of getting hit like this and decided to stop pitching me the ball. He then wanted me to pitch the ball to him and I refused thinking there was no way I wanted to get hit by the ball like he had been.
The string broke on my guitar and the guitar string was not repaired for a long time afterwards. I thought the guitar was ruined so I decided to act like that player from KISS and destroyed my guitar on the driveway as if I was starring in a rock concert.
I hit my brother over the head with a real golf club during a fight over a round of golf in the backyard.
Every time I heard ringing in my ears I would think it was the secret police calling me to tell me there were more bad guys to fight so I would reply to them by talking into my hand and then go fight these bad guys like I was Steve Austin of the Six Million Dollar Man tv show. I had a hard time mastering that long leap in the air he would often do.
A friend of mine recently decided to try target shooting with a bb rifle. He put his index finger over the end of the barrel to hold it in place for a better shot. Upon pulling the trigger he felt a flash of pain in his index finger and found the nail torn off as the bb went right through the tip of his finger.
I would intentionally leave fish entrails in various places in the campground after a day of fishing just so I could hear and sometimes see the bears come by that night.
My mom put myself and my brothers in the car, started the car, then went back inside the house because she forgot something. In that time, I unhooked myself from my carseat, climbed into the front seat, put the car in gear, and while standing on the driver's seat I steared the car as the idling engine carried us right into the house across the street.
My friend and I each recieved brand new football helmets one spring so we decided to act like the football players did standing in their starting position line. We then simulated hiking the ball and hit each other's helmet covered head with our own. The helmets did not protect us as well as we expected and we fell to the ground.

"urban climbing" (thats a bit scary when squad cars show up)
bought a giant waterballon slingshot and shot ballons at peoples dorm rooms. MY tall large friend threw his entire weight into a shot, flew 100 feet, hit a window, shattered the window. They found glass from the window in other rooms halfway across the building.

Hmm...a couple things come to mind...
-throwing firecrackers at moving cars on the fourth of july
-starting bonfires down in the ravine in the middle of a hot dry Cali summer
-jumping off of the roof into the pool (2 story house)
-using an aerosol can (wd-40 is awesome for this) and a lighter to roast insects, snails, and other harmless things
-leaving the yard when i was about 4 with my dog Chief and walking down into the ravine and across a street, luckily a biker was riding by and found my address on my dog's collar.
-egging older kids houses, then getting beat up for it one night (hey, they were in high school and we were in 3rd grade!)
-getting into the liquor cabinet and testing some stuff out (big trouble for that one)
-accidentally running through a screen door i didn't see

Yes, you have to loosen it up to get any serious distance...
4th of July... 12 years old or so.
Mom was asleep after working 3rd shift. I found a firecracker on the curb that was wickless. So, of course, I went in and grabbed a lighter. Came outside and held said lighter to firecracker end.
*BOOM*
Ringing in the ears for 1 week. Learned to read lips. hearing is now back to 100% as far as I can tell but I was SCARED my mom would whoop me 🙂

i was around 5-6 years old and i was in a department store when i saw a manikin, well at least i thought it was one... for some reason the fabric looked cool so i was feeling around the chest area... yada yada yada, the manikin wasnt a manikin, but actually a real woman...😱

So many...anyways a friend and I were in his backyard playing with our armymen when we spotted a salamander about 5 inches long. We decided to "sacrifice" it and tied it to a stick and stuck it in the ground. This was a hot summer day in San Francisco and the thing just cooked. Stupid and cruel..regretably.
