| 2016-10-13 |
| [Atlanta Constipation] A Floyd County teenager died from a traumatic brain injury after he was struck while playing a game called "jump the car." Kobe Thomas died Sunday after he was struck by a car, Channel 2 Action News reported. The 16-year-old was playing "jump the car" with a group of friends when the incident happened. The game involves jumping over a car as someone drives toward you. If it wasn't Thomas' smile, it was his basketball skills that amazed and put family, friends and admirers alike at ease. |

| #5 Seen this done on many TV shows. Jump straight up and the car drives under you. Get the timing right and jump high enough and it's "easy".....make a mistake and.....................................................oops. Kind of like sky-diving. As Mythbusters says "Don't try this at home." |
