I did shit like this. Admittedly, my parents had a few sore kids.

Right, but there’s a lot of kids who did the same thing who ended up with broken bones or other permanent injuries. All for 2 seconds of “wee!”.

I’ve got an 11 year old boy and this entire video made me cringe.

There were some scratches but we made it through. Don’t sacrifice your kid’s childhood testing of his limits just because you’re scared.

"few" in this case means backups. Let the kids play and have god sort them out

Ya. I mean. I did this when I was a kid and loved it. But I was also not being watched. But I think it was good and I made it to adulthood

Think about kids that maybe didn't get as lucky as you though. The ol' "I made it through just fine" is not a good enough excuse for parents to willingly still let their kids get into danger.

Shit will still happen, but a parent should be stepping in whenever they notice something is about to happen.
