I was about 7 or 8 years of age when this one happened so the details of this one are a bit fuzzy.

My cousin Joey better known as ''buttface'' was riding his three wheeled atv to a friends house while living in the country.He decided that if he picked up enough speed he could jump the railroad track.most railroad tracks in arkansas have a pretty good sized ramp to them,and when he reached the tracks he noticed a train coming at a rather slow speed so he gunned the gas and ramped the tracks doing about 40 to 45 mph.At least thats what he said when released from the hospital.

clearing a good piece of air in the jump he over shot his landing,and bailed out pretty hard.the friend whitnesed the whole thing and phoned his parents so they could aide him in his time of need.while the friend got off the phone with them he called 911,and my aunt his mother rushed us out to the tracks to get joey on the ambulance.when we got there the friend had got a pillow from his home and placed it under joey's head and within minutes it was covered in blood.he didnt lose much blood,if i had to guess maybe a pint and a half.

my aunt in such shock didnt even realize that she had craled under the train to get to her first born son joey.the train was only moving about 2mph but is still a stupid thing to do.

being related to these people makes me proud that i got my dads smarts.to make a seemingly long story short joey didnt spend much time in the hospital for that one.He now is a freestyle motocross rider for a local extreme sports show.I'm just waiting to see what else i can put on the site from his stupidity.

If your going to be stupid,you better be tuff.

Thanks Jessie. With stunts like this, I wonder how long his 'career' will last?

I rather liked the local patois you used to write this story! While it isn't the most original "stupid" stunt I've read about, I do like the personal touch you added, and therefore will vote to keep it! Thanks, Jesse!

A double PA as your aunt was about as stupid as her son. Guess the genes run in the family (as they should). Thanks for the story, Jessie
