What would have happened to that flipping little idiot if it had fallen and he'd hit his head good and hard?

Knowing society, his parents probably would have sued the school.

I think that that little *insert expletive* should be made to stand with a sign around his neck on the spot where the tree was destroyed that reads "I am the reason that you can no longer enjoy the mall decorations."

WHAT made him think that was a good idea?

Being 15 and full of hormones? In my experience, teenage boys are not the best sources to turn to for sound decision making. The possibility that they could be injured or that they could injure someone else just doesn't enter into their minds. I just ran into an old friend who told me about this time back in high school when he talked his buddy into driving his car off a ramp into a field with 3 other people in the car. They all could have died. The car was air-borne. The engine came loose. I'm not sure that even now they realize how stupid that was.

MinMom3,
I was thinking that, too. I wonder if the kids who taped it willl get in trouble for knowing it was going to happen and not telling anyone.

I confess.  That video cracked me up.  Not that I think it was very wise to do, but I have some friends who would have pulled this.  The fact that the prank was well-planned (I counted at least 4 camara angles) and that the video was well-edited only added to my amusement.  Please feel free to send me straight to E-hell if you'd like, but I'm having a good laugh in the mean time.

Except the school and the insurance company also have access to YouTube. Love to see that one on Court TV.

He's famous? Well then, I'll go look at The Smoking Gun to see his mugshot.

Maybe it would have knocked some sense into him?  Naaaahhh...probably not.  Yes, they obviously knew it was coming, by the way the camera shots were set up for maximum coverage. 

Terrible.

The boy who did the jump has actually posted a video talking about why he did it.

Shame on whatever college admitted him.

Somewhere there's a student that didn't get in, who didn't jump a Christmas tree.

Sorry but that cracked me up.  I can just imagine....

Little Jimmy: (while holding an official-looking letter) Ah man, they didn't accept me.

Mom: Did they say why?

Little Jimmy:  Yeah, something about not having enough life experience.

Mom: See,I told you. You should of jumped that Christmas tree.
