:mad: really stupid

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Well IMO, it's the wacky world in which we live, thank the like of Jackass and Dirty Sanches for kids copying these things, but yeah, the parent/s of this kid want slapping with an endangerment to life type thingy ( had a drink )

Good jod the kid was off the board.

:Yikes::Yikes: Oh my god!!:shocked:

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

He didn't stay on very long, maybe he should have strapped his feet to the board :disturbd:

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Just to point out - if the kid had stayed on the board at the time the rocket went off (how long was that fuse??), it would probably only of pushed them up to about 20MPH. Still, its a totally stupid thing to do.

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Silly thing to do with a firework. That could have gone off in any direction. :td:

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Idiotic rich people, what's new?

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Its a rocket motor. More of a predicable burn than a firework, but still impossable to put out should anything get in its way and catch fire (like a pair of trousers, or a coat...). Give enough of them (40 or so), you can propel your luge up to 100MPH or more.

Fun, but dangerous.

:rofl:Don't give them any ideas ffs. Perhaps they should try firing their dad out of a canon, see how that muppet likes it!

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

How do you know they are rich? :confused:

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

And for his next trick??? Amazing his kid has survived this long really!

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

When you can afford to live in an area like that, trust me, your rich.

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

That looks so much fun .... as long as nothing get's in the way :disturbd: :D

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Dodgy, but hilarious.

I know the Health and Safety bores frown upon it, but if I was that kid I'd want to do it too.

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Although silly, I think that parents tend to wrap their kids up in cotton wool too much these days. When I was a kid we did silly stuff like that and had all sorts of cuts and bruises. It was part of being a kid. Just my opinion.

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

That's the problem, kids are pretty dumb when it comes to realising how dangerous stuff is, they rely on people like their parents to educate them, not encourage them!

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

ahh so tapeing the rocket underneath the skateboard would have been fine?

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

I just watched it again, ( sober ) ;) ok, yeah, it was maybe a bit daft, but, and it's a BIG but, the kid wasn't being forced into it, and, he did have all the saftey gear on, pads / helmet and gloves, on reflection, maybe only slightly more dangerous than letting a kid on a motorbike, only difference being the flame :shrug: IMHO of course :tu:

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Fine by me, When I was a kid I used to race go-karts (one I built myself) with my mates down a big hill (on the road).

We used to hit some high speeds.

Doing stupid dangerous things is what growing up is all about. Too much molly coddling nowadays.

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

LOL, yep, we seem to take a lot of risks as kids that kids nowadays have no idea about, and we're still going strong :D

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

The point is though I bet you didn't have a parent encouraging you, I am sure most of us fell out of the odd tree or got tangled in barbed wire, the thing is though when my old mum found out I'd be in trouble, she didn't take me to one side and say 'how about rocket charging your skateboard, hold tight while I light the fuse'

Re: How Stupid is This Parent??
 

Thats progress for ya, when I was a kid it was a boogie down the park bank, progressed onto off road bikes by the age of 15, and bungie jumping a lot later in life, oh for a rocket, AND PADS, when I was a nipper :D
