What's Some Dangerous/Weird Games You Played When You Were a Kid?

As a kid my friends and I were very fond of climbing and jumping. Most of the time when we were climbing, we would blimb this wall type thing that was covered in bushed. Basically couldn't tell where you were stepping, and it was hard to get a good grip. Which resulted in quite a few minor injuries. And then there was the jumping. It was really just a competition of who could jump from the highest without getting hurt/crying.

I didn't really participate in "dangerous games", but these weren't exactly safe either. Still, it was fun.

On the climbing thing, where I used to live, most of the trees were evergreen trees, and those are extremely easy to climb. We would race to the tops of the trees.

We liked to jump over snowdrifts with snowmobiles, crashing a few times, if you consider snowmobiling a game.

Also, laundry baskets down the stairs and a game of who could sit in the middle of the road the longest.

Nothing too dangerous, really.

Russian Roulette. We were actually stopped before anything bad happened though, lol.

when my sister, cousins and I were really little, our older cousin would tie our legs with his socks, wrap us in a bedsheet, and swing us over the indoor balcony until we screamed "mercy", he would pretend to drop us but catch us in the last second.
My sister, cousins and I would play this game called trust... but we would fling ourselves down the stairs and somone would have to catch us
my cousins and I would always take a shortcut to the "far park" and hopped this white man's fene. He always got mad, and nearly shot fire at us... we still did it anyway, then he got a dog.

When I was like 9 or 10, we used to do what we liked to call 'extreme bmx biking'. There was this old building site put the back of my old best friends' house that the local community had modified into a bmx track for the kids. There was a bit where all of the old equipment was, but the track itself was made out of the construction sand stuff that had been left behind. In the middle, there was this giant hill of the stuff which had a warning on it about going too fast. Essentially, what we did was go round the track, hit the straight before the hill and go as fast as we could. We basically tried to see how high off of the ground we could launch ourselves at the top before landing your bike without touching the downward slope of the hill.

That game was stopped really quickly after I came off my bike mid-flight and nearly broke my neck. To this day, I still don't know how we all managed to spend a solid year or two doing this without any broken bones though, because the hill in the middle was lethal and we were basically attempting to jump over the hill without the proper equipment. I'm also amazed that I never completely trashed my bike, I just got rid of that very bike last summer because it was way too small for me, not because of damage.

Then again, we also used to rub the edge of the plastic rulers at school on our arms at th same age to see how red we could make our arms, so maybe I was just a weird kid.

Probably doing bike tricks. I remember getting a broken arm when I took my bike down steps on a dare. We also used to do this thing where we'd all jump off a roof (don't worry, it wasn't that steep.)

All of these posts are more relating to physical sports and stuff, but when I was younger I was more of a make believe kind of kid and so was my best friend. We had this one pretend game that we played quite a bit where (trigger warning, btw) we were, like, orphan kids who got adopted or whatever by our "creepy uncle". For two seven or eight year olds, we were pretty twisted, and there was always this underlying theme of abuse or pedophilia. I don't know how or why we did it, but we made it into quite the adventure and usually psyched ourselves out to the point that we hid in her game room and refused to look through any windows. Our imaginations were pretty wild.

We also liked to push one of those big plastic play ground cubes, the kind with all the different sized holes and a little platform in the middle, into her pool and we'd swim through it while it was spinning underwater. We stopped doing that after I almost drowned, though, so...
