Well, at least he died doing what he loved.

This another of those car-surfing “accidents?”

Kids take stupid chances. Some of them die. It’s sad, but it’s been going on forever.

Guess there won’t be a Christopher Hernandez III...

Just some chlorine in the gene pool.

I wonder if anyone was holding his beer or his joint?

Those killer SUV’s are dangerous.

That Surf City USA after all

I had a buddy who helped me with my paper route when I was in high school. Late one Saturday night when we were getting the Sunday edition out early, he rode on the hood of the car with a bag of them, and tossed them to each porch as we went along. Just as we got to the top of a steep hill and started down, I hit the brakes and he went flying ass-over-teakettle all the way to the bottom - a good 400-500 feet. I thought I'd killed him. After a couple of seconds, he finally moved, got up, came limping back up the hill laughing, and said to me, "That was fun!"

A few years later, he went in the army, and made a career of it. LOL

Dumb thing to try, but teenagers (even ones close to legal adulthood) often take dumb risks because they think they’re invincible. I look back at some of the dumb stuff I pulled in my teens (note to past self: hopping trains, even slow-moving ones, is not a smart thing to do), and am sometimes amazed I still limb and life.

Prayers for the friends and family of the teen.

“thrown from the roof onto the road when the car, driven by another 17-year-old boy, attempted to make a right,....”

I guess they weren't paying attention when Newton's Laws of Motion were being taught in science class.

Dumb and sad. RIP.

Classic Darwin award.

This sounds pretty stupid, but I've heard of worse, in my area. A number of years ago, one of my co-workers lost a cousin, in a swimming accident.

The kid (teenager) was swimming in a pool next to an old broken dam. The pool contained broken pieces of concrete, with rebar sticking out, under the water. It's a popular place to swim, but everybody who goes there knows it's far too dangerous to dive into the water.

Well, the kid dove in, hit a piece of rebar, and it killed him. The really "stupid" part comes later. Another cousin, who was there, was explaining the accident to friends, a few months later. He decided to demonstrate. He hit the same piece of rebar.

Christopher Hernandez II

Unwise Latino?
