Really Stupid Dangerous Games
A long time ago, not so far away I used to participate in Venturers (that's the next level up after Scouts for the uninitiated). As you would expect for such a youth organisation, there was a good deal of focus on out doors activities, including camping, caving, abseiling and so on.
It was on my first (and as it turns out last*) caving trip that I discovered an excellent way to satisfy that urge to set fire to something and be completely and utterly physical (and stupid) at the same time.
Fireball
I won't describe the exact details here (just in case some poor simple minded waif decides to replicate it and ends up setting fire to themselves or their cat). Needless to say I roasted one pair of tracksuit pants and a good pair of joggers, but I scored twice :)
What's the dumbest, most dangerous game you've played?
* I actually found out that I'm claustrophobic that weekend. After I spent half and hour struggling through a small cave system. It took me ten minutes to get back out.

Fireball!
I remember fireball well. We never let anybody play unless they were wearing overalls and good solid boots though. :-) Neither of things should be hard to come by if you're caving.
Was also a little bit claustrophobic, but it never bothered me at all while caving.
A very long time ago, one of
A very long time ago, one of my siblings was playing with a tape measure that had metal ends. Naturally, small kids like to put things together. As a power point was nearby, that was exactly what happened.
The ending is quite predictable. Let me just say that the power point was blackened after the incident. :)
