The Worst Ride

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

One winter day in February just outside of Fort Worth, Texas, my friend Matt Hardy, decided to go for a little ride on his rollerskates. He was feeling a little hot so he decided to rollerskate into his 6ft. deep pool not thinking that he was in fact about 6 ft. 4in. tall. Being the daredevil that he was he decided to make this ride a little more interesting. He was going to rollerskate off the top of his 2 story house and then into the pool. After climbing on his roof, he took position and prepared for flight. Just after he took off he realized that he had miscalculated the jump. Instead of landing in the pool as he had planned, he missed and fell through a nearby table. As well as breaking the table he was sent to the ER with a broken leg, several broken ribs, as well as a few other fractures.

Interesting, but it sounds too much like a "Jackass" wantabe to me. I agree with Charles, can we get an age verification? And Alex, please do keep us posted on his future "stunts." I think that your friend has the potential to be a Darwin Awardee in the future.

This sounds like the sort of thing a kid would do. Can we get verification of his age, so we don't inadvertently award to an underage person?

I'd think this would have made the local news- But nothing comes up under that name.
