On the way back from the Miracle Mile Deli in Phoenix Arizona, I had a casual conversation with my mother while driving down a small avenue about a half mile from my house.
There were basically no vehicles around but us, and the asphalt seemed fairly dry, so I was weighing the positives and negatives of doing a barrel roll out of the moving car. I asked my mom if I could do it, seeing as I'm wearing a fairly protective long sleeve shirt and my hair probably provides enough protection to stop most of the skin on my scalp being torn off. She said no.
Considering the following criteria of when it's okay to jump out of a car fit:
- Car going less than 20 mph
- No other vehicles around
- Have clothing on
I was wondering why it isn't considered proper to jump out. I was within walking distance of my house, so time isn't an issue. I guess it sort of ties in with mob mentality and the fact that every so often a group of people in a community decide to do something and it suddenly becomes a tradition. That tradition then gets even more widespread and suddenly all of civilized humanity takes part. It makes you wonder how much do we do that actually has no positive or negative weigh on anyone else, but everyone does it?
There's a limit between things that are perceived as good and things that are perceived as bad, but there must be some miniscule twilight zone between what will get you praised and what will get you thrown in jail that you can take part in without any negative repercussions from the police force.
Someone should write a book filled with tons of activities you can do to help maintain your originality.
Anyway, comment on things you can take part in that fit what I'm saying and reasons why I shouldn't jump out of a moving car (Besides getting injured).
