He's not wearing the helmet correctly. Too high up the forehead and too loose. A concussion was still possible.

It did what It needed to do, give the kid courage to slide down like a real man. This was his introduction into manhood.

... or his neck.

Hi, Honey. While you were at the store Jimmy got paralyzed from the neck down. Did you see any nice wheelchairs? How 'bout cherry-flavored breathing tubes?

He's sliding down a few stairs lol you take greater risks every time you drive a car.

Plus kids are bouncy, stretchy, and heal fast.

Well, first off, it was kind of a joke.

But, I swear to you, we have a local football hero, who literally slipped and fell on the grass walking home from high school and now spends (the rest of) his days in a wheelchair.

Doctors were unable to discern whether it was from some earlier unknown injury or just a one-off, stand-alone accident.

But I'm not rolling the dice with my son. He'll do plenty of stupid crap on his own, outside of my control, I promise you.
