Don't surf on cars!

This doesn't seem like a very smart way to pass the time.

A teenager traveling on the hood of a vehicle at a park in the Northwest Side was critically injured late Thursday after he slipped off and was run over, police said.

San Antonio Police Sgt. Johnny Gomez said a group of teenagers was driving at Braun Station West park near the intersection of Braun Drive and Brigadoon Street with two teenagers riding on top of the car's hood and one sitting on the trunk.

At around 11:30 p.m., one of the teens on the hood slipped off the vehicle, but was not immediately hurt. Gomez said the driver, thinking he had hit his friend, did not fully stop and ran over him.

(from the Express-News)

The news story indicates that the boy will recover, and that's good. But I hope they learned a lesson from this: the seatbelts are inside the car!

Seriously?! Anyone who has seen Teen Wolf will probably admit to wanting to try this... even just once. ;-)

Heh heh heh. Teen Wolf! That movie was so good in such a bad way. But, of course, I haven't seen it in over 20 years.

I wonder if it holds up.
