What did you do as a child that would be considered dangerous today?

Birthday partys at Mcdonalds

Went swimming within 20 minutes of eating 🤣

Riding my bike for miles away from home with no destination in mind and no one knowing I left. Just got on the bike and went.

Ride my bike on main roads at the age of 8/9 😬

Say him

Drove all over the place on my bike and stayed out all day with, gasp, no cell phone or folks knowing where I was. Took the tractors for a spin at 12 years. Snuck out and hit the roadhouse in the middle of the night. Rode horses with no shoes or a helmet. Roller skated on the main road, swam in dams and rivers. Oh and knocked on people’s doors and ran away.

riding a bicycle without a helmet.

🤔..........We had snowball fights during elementary school recess with the help of the teachers setting up a two lines of cones across the field and then all the kids would line up on either side and throw snowballs at each other.............that is diffidently not happening in schools these days...........

Rode on top of a load of hay from the field to the barn, a few miles away. Occasionally it wouldn't be stacked just right and you'd lose a few bales, so hopefully you realized it in time and jumped clear instead of falling with the hay.

Hitchhike

Rode horses bareback without helmet, Drove a tractor when I was 5. Rode a motorcycle without a helmet or leathers. Drank a gallon of beer and then drove home.

Lawn darts! No seat belt! Smokers behind me on the plane!

jumped out of moving vehicles.

Climbing trees!

Stayed out after dark.

I used to dig out and tasted roots of random wild plants if they looked like carrot or parsley. 😆 They were probably wild carrots and I and my friends were lucky we didn't come across hemlock.

We went out the door and down the street without asking. Before kindergarten.

Ride in the camper and/or the back of the truck with nothing but a ball glove to sit on.

Ride in back of station wagon without seat belt or being in a seat.

Not wearing a seat belt in the car.
