THINGS PEOPLE DID AS KIDS THAT THEY LATER REALIZED WERE DANGEROUS

The metal slides were the best!

It’s normal to feel hyper-protective of kids, but think back on all the crazy stuff YOU did, and you made it through okay.  Well, mostly.  The kids of the 80s and 90s survived things that we shouldn’t have, LOL!

 

 

Buzzfeed has a list of things people say they did as kids, and then later, as adults, realized were really dangerous.  The highlights include:

Catching and playing with spiders

Shooting fireworks at friends

Destroying stuff in old buildings with asbestos

Goofing around with lawn darts

Jumping off the roofs and lofts of sheds and barns

Putting a car in neutral while in a parking lot

Messing around on streets or roads at night

Climbing more than 12 feet up a tree

Fooling around on staircases

Walking out on a frozen pool or pond

Sticking things in electrical outlets.
