I'm pretty sure this one is only going for a Honorable Mention, but it must be mentioned nevertheless.

The story, as I am aware of because it has been told to me, is that a group of friends where trying to test a mini-skate with some modifications for the wheels. What makes this something outrageous is that this guys where already 3rd year college students (college is a 5 year period where I live) and the test involved a running car.

Without any kind of safety equipment, not even a helmet, the guy grabbed on the small gap on the car's behind. As the car started to accelerate, the test seemed to be fine, until disaster struck at 70 km/h (aprox. 40 mph) where he started to eat asphalt and road.

The results: infected wounds, split nose and tongue, lost teeth and he even lost a nipple from a wound.

Kids, there is a reason behind all the "Do not try this at home". This guy got lucky that he was on a "safe and controlled" environment which fortunately didn't had a car behind, but he could easily die. Please, leave the dumb moves out of the question even if it sounds as the coolest stunt in the world.

This sort of thing is actually fairly common. We get lots of similar stories involving car surfing, cars pulling people skateboard, bicycles, etc. However given link to the video I think this qualifies for an HM. Thanks, Fer.
