Yet more proof that children need to be given proper beatings (Or at least given more attention and regulation of their behavior) by their parents.
It scares them out of pulling stunts like this.
Ah, Hell, maybe if they read this article it'll make them think twice.

So... he uses a make-shift parachute and dies... and they blame a video game with nothing even remotely close to that in the game?

You are on to something here, myself, i sort the whole deal in the darwinaward column.
A nine year old this stupid would have killed himself in one way or another in the next ten years, either doing a jackass type of stunt at 12, mixing 12 different kind of alcohol at the age of 15 and die of alcohol poisoning, or starting a fight with a bikergang in a bar at the age of 18 (with a fake ID, naturally.)
*sigh* It's amazing what people will do [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cap4mOJ6N2E] in the name of wrestling. It's not 13 stories, but some how they convinced themselves it was safe.D_987 said:
Warning: The video I posted I personally found hilarious, but it is also can be seen as very disturbing. If you don't have much tolerance for suicidal stupidity (no one dies here), then don't click the link. Otherwise, laugh away at possibly the 3 dumbest people on the planet.
Exactly.D_987 said:
This case seems more of a case of child stupidity than video games. I'm starting to wonder if the government is just making up death stories and pointing their fingers at video games because they hate the fact that they can't stay alive for more than 15 seconds, so they decide that all video games must be purged.
No, because while that is indeed rude, it is the truth. I was smarter than that at nine! Age almost always doesn't make a difference. I'm 12 and I bet you i'm still smarting than alot of 20 year olds.toasterslayer said:
I nominate this kid for a Darwin award... Seriously if it wasn't this , I'm sure something else would have happened, I'm just amazed he thought it would actually work.
don't they realize that Jeff Hardy is a REAL person and he does it in REAL life and that should be blamed, not the game?
It took place in America. THAT means that irresponsibility=pity and victory during lawsuits.TheTygerfire said:
I blame no one but the kid's parents. Also the sister watching him, I guess. The fact is, little kids are stupid and will copy anything that looks fun.
If you don't tell them about gravity...who will?
