30 Dangerous Things People Did When They Were Kids

16.

“As a 6-year-old first-grader, I lived in Florida in an interesting part of town. There weren’t many kids to play with, so when there was was one, I did my best to keep up. My new friend in the neighborhood had quite the daredevil streak and would jump off of his second story walkway, jump up from the ground, and climb the stairs to do it again.”

“He invited me to join him, and wanting to strengthen the friendship, as scary as it seemed, I jumped. I only did it once, and knew it would never happen again, friendship be damned. I didn’t get hurt, and nothing was broken, but it was nothing but terror the whole way down. Thirty years later, I still feel the same way.”
