You know those toy paratroopers, when you open up the parachute and you throw them? Well, I thought the parachute opened up by itself. So, without opening the parachute, I simply threw it from a tall height. Of course, it just fell. I thought to myself "This is a ripoff!!! The parachute doesn't even open!". Then, I learned that the parachute does NOT open up by itself and you have to open it up yourself.

Those things were one of the best bloody toys ever invented. Absolutely awesome!
I remember having competitions with friends, to see who could bundle it up in the best way: bundle it, throw it up and watch it float down.
Hours of good fun for the whole family! Thanks for the memories mate. 👍👍 -

The time in high school when I got drunk at a lake bonfire, and decided to play soccer with a log. Fractured my ankle. I set and wrapped it myself because I'm a badass.
Or the time I convinced everyone that it would be a good idea to light a different fire using a bow and arrow. We poured a gallon of gas on the wood, and decided to grab a beer and modify the arrow. We tied a rag on the arrowhead. Dipped it in gas, set the arrow on the bowstring and lit it.
This all took about 20-30 minutes after We poured a gallon of gas on the fire pit wood.

I used to attach them to a bottle rocket and watch them float down😃

So when I released the arrow towards the pit and the flaming arrow hit the wood, the entire area around the pit in a 30-40 foot diameter literally ignited instantly. We forgot about the gas fumes.

Yeah, gas is explosive. I saw someone do the same thing, minus the arrow, it knocked everyone nearby on their asses and blew the window out of their house. Hehe, fun times.

I once poured 2 gallons of ash into some nearby woods. (Didn't know the ashes were hot because nobody told me)...The woods were filled with dry leaves because it was in Summer...Needless to say, half the woods caught on fire..All the other Boy Scouts grabbed huge buckets of water and I was left with a little frying pan to put water in to fight a mini-forest fire........👲+ 🔥 = Bad
