I used to go to a boxing club.  There was a guy there who'd block all punches to his head with his face.  Maybe the kid is related to him.

The guy in the video was in front of the snowblower, sticking a shovel toward the auger.  I don't see any face or head protection.   Distantly related.

Poster boys for the Darwin award. They did every thing they could to ensure someone got hurt, except point the chute at someone. But, no, there is was, a little bit later. They get my vote.

Imagine you're the kid in the house and it suddenly dawns on you that genetically, you're cursed to be just as dumb.

Its the same feeling Bart Simpson gets when he watches his father.

I cringe everytime I see someone point a plume of snow at a person.  Let's just hope snow is the only thing coming out of that chute. 

When I'm snowblowing, if there's anyone walking by, I always lower my chute angle and point it close to the snowblower.  Sometimes, I just stop all snowblowing until they have passed.  I don't want to ruin my enjoyment of a snowblower if something bad happens to bystanders.

That's a possibility, only if the kid observing the acts of stupidity is bright enough to understand how wrong it is.  If the kid can put that much together, he/she might have a chance.

Just a few more minutes of that and maybe the Gene Pool would've thinned a bit.

It just made me think of my neighbor who cuts grass in his flip flops.
