For a 14 year old, that is pretty poor. I mean, I learnt dangers of HOT when I touched the stove once when I was 3.

I never got the thrill when I was little though to do anything really dangerous. Once though I did plug in a broken extention lead into the power socket, not knowing the wires at the severed end where twisted together. That made an awfully gigantic bang.

As for jumping off the roof, I once though about suing a bunch of plastic bags together to create a parachute, but I then calculated that a 1 story high house wouldn't be enough distance to let it open up intime.
