Toy bow and arrows. You could take the suction cup of and sharpen the wood.
Throwing a Bowie Knife into the back door over and over when anyone at all could have just opened the door from the other side.
Jumping from the third floor construction into a pile of sand.
Walking through the drainage tunnel from behind my house to the beach about a kilometer away without a torch.
Going down the big hill at the beach on a skateboard and getting the death wobbles.
