Was I a smart kid? Nope

A classmate was trying to tell us that you can pass out if you put enough pressure on someone's chest (Asphyxiation) and breathe very deeply (Hyperventilation). I didn't believe it, but I quickly became a believer. I told him to try it on me. I stood up straight against the wall outside, and after probably 12-15 seconds, my head slumped down. I remember counting to about 10 seconds and then nothing. I recall the sound of wind or something similar in my head. I didn't feel the impact. Both of my lips needed a good number of stitches, but I didn't break anything. Nobody else thought it would work either, and even my brother thought I was faking it. So, when my head dropped down, they couldn't make out my face to gauge whether I was faking or not. Luckily, I didn't fall completely face-first, cause it was more of a frontal slump. Anybody else, or am I the stupidest kid in the world? My father and doctor let me have it when I went to the hospital. Never mind, don't answer that. 🤕

Does anybody else have any accidents from being ignorant and not having a lick of common sense?

@SomeMichGuy Well, now I think it's silly. I haven't thought about it in a while. And what brought it up, I was watching a dash cam video, and the cop tased a 17-year-old for over 20 secs. He ended up going into cardiac arrest from it. Then, on top of that, the cop was dragging him out of the street, face down, and dropped him face-first. That's why I thought it. Very disturbing video. Cop thought he was faking it, so just cuffed him and let the kid laying still face down for a while till another cop came and they now notice the kid turning blue. He was able to be resuscitated after the EMTs arrived. The family received $ 6.5 million, and the cop received 4 years in prison. But yeah very sickening to see people with no empathy, especially police.
@Levenrack WOW I guess so!

@HootyTheNightOwl Nope, so I guess I took something positive from that. 😁
