RIP.
I'm sure if we started telling stories, we could go on forever.
Several years ago, a family friend's son bought a 600cc dirt-bike. One of his best friends asked him if he could try it out. The kid said yes. His friend hopped on the bike, started rolling down the street, and hit the gas. The bike wheelied, the kid lost control and impaled himself on a fence. He died. The kid has since been torn with remorse.
