Male teenagers and bad decisions go together like butter and toast. Esp when adrenaline is in the mix. Who knows what any of these kids would have done later in life.
Dumbass comment
edit: According to current research, teenagers make bad decisions and take too many risks because the prefrontal cortex, the decision-making center, is still developing until around age 25.
I'm sure you've all done stupid shit as a teenager. It just didnt get you killed.

Yup. That's why we can actually read it without logging in. This is an article that shouldn't be behind a paywall.

Need bollards or something to prevent cars driving down it, not plastic ones. But it's certainly looking great so far.

Sounds spicy. Could've died up there touching the wrong things.
I definitely did my share of stupid shit when I was teenager too. I remember one time we were dropping large chunks of ice/snow onto passing trains from a bridge. It got progressively crazier as we one up'ed each other with how large they were. We were up to the point they were like large snow boulders. My friend could barely carry it and had trouble lifting it over the edge. Dropped it right on the front windshield of the next train, the impact was so loud and blew up into a million pieces with snowy smoke everywhere. Then the train fucking stopped in like record time, brakes screeching. I didn't even know trains could stop like that at that age. But it was because it was a commuter train not some long haul train with 50 cars. Then the conductor got out and started yelling and running after us and we took off. Probably scared the shit out of him when it hit the windshield.
Not that wild but definitely poor decision making.
