Teens Leaping For Thrills In 'Garage Jumping' Trend

"Hey, y'all! What what happens when I do this!... Owwww!"

Since Bargfrede fell, the City of Orlando erected a partial fence but there's still room for someone to take a dangerous dive. The family says that's not good enough and that both garages need to take responsibility before a garage jumper loses his life.

How about the family taking responsibility for their darwinian-award competing teenager? Maybe if school taught something about gravity and trajectories, it may be helpful too.
