Jackasses risk death

Jackasses risk death : "He said he called the ambulance for the injured Unanderra teenager and was shocked upon his return to find 20 other people jumping past the youth's unconscious body."

I can remember on radio there was an old person talking about how teenagers and kids used to jump into a natural pool in North Adelaide. No one seems to know where that was. Jumping into pools doing the dare-devil , thrill seeking thing seems to be in our blood and our heritage and the cities have just built themselves up around us but the behaviour hasn't been changed. It's tribal. Young people love jumping from a height into water. Trouble is, we are civilised now so the behaviour is worrying and odd in built up areas. We have the same with jetty jumping. Telling people not to has no effect whatsoever because they have no boundaries and the need to skydive into water is stronger than any knowledge of the harm it could do or the inappropriateness of it in a built up area. The biggest concern is they don't appear to worry about the injured mates. Probably because because they have been brought up on consequences and yes, they risk injury. it's a consequence and if it happens, tough, you knew the consequences. They are oblivious to being responsible because they are in the moment so any sense of consideration for restaurant patrons and peer jumpers is out the window. You could change the spot and then I guess, legally, you become responsible for injuries. We need to round these dare devil kids up and get them into some dare devil training ...like the outward bound courses or parachuting. I guess they cannot afford the extreme sports which would help them deal with their adrenalin rush needs. Money. They obviously are fearless and we need to channel that without making ourselves legally responsible for it. I guess they've tried security guards and I guess the kids could climb spiked barriers around the building top? Electric fences?? Tigers on the roof? Fines?
