How many people do you think have been killed/paralyzed copying "jackass"

I was watching the Family Guy episode about Peter and friends copying jackass where peter breaks his neck and thought "I bet a lot of people (kids) have been seriously killed doing  stuff like on that show"...So time for a scientific poll  

Anyone have stories?

I want to say not nearly enough but I know it will offend someone.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are of 20 examples on Youtube alone.

Call me callous and in uncompassionate but I have a real, real hard time feeling sorry for people who film themselves leaping off three story buildings then getting double compound leg fractures.

An injury is an injury even if the person accomplished it by something "stupid" in your mind.
Pain is pain. You older guys should know that already.
Getting seriously hurt is gonna come up as a stupid decision afterwards, no matter how it came about.

That's not always true.  Depends on how hot the girl was.

While that might be true, the show is called "Jackass" for a reason.

Personally, I don't consider making the decision to watch this movie as a persons' intellectual highlight either.
