Who does not love crazy stunts? If you go to YouTube and type in the keywords “crazy stunts”, you will be bombarded with hilarious images of people trying the most insane tricks and stunts. It is all in the name of fame though, since we are living in the age of “reality TV.” Although it may be hard to peel your eyes from the monitor; at the time this article was written, crazy stunts account for approximately 56,000 videos on the popular website. Everyone wants their fifteen minutes, and this site and others like it are providing the platform for attention seeking individuals to become famous.

There are all sorts of clips that fall into the category of “crazy”. Crazy motorcycle stunts, acrobatics, car tricks, martial arts and the list goes on and on. The thing that keeps you glued though is the very real finale, which usually ends with someone getting hurt or almost inflicting serious physical injury upon themselves or others. It makes you wonder what lengths people will go to for recognition. Apparently, the sky is the limit, since a lot of these clips leave you wondering, “How in the world DIDN’T anyone get killed while doing that?”

Then there are the few videos that actually do end violently.

A lot of these stunts are performed out in public, with no warning of the events to come given to the people around them. This is exactly what makes them even more appealing to the action junkies surfing the net looking for “real” entertainment. Unfortunately, many times the people making these videos do not take into consideration the legal ramifications that follow the posting of these videos. Law enforcement actively uses these videos as evidence that can be used in a court of law to convict those who would be so bold as to share their adventures with the public. Those wanting to broadcast their bravado to the world need to think about this before putting questionable videos on the Internet.

Crazy stunts are great to watch, and are not usually images of people breaking the law, but people need to use more common sense when sharing some things. They may be risking their very freedom, just to entertain the masses. Besides, who wants to be sitting in a cell and get asked “what you in for?” and have to reply “YouTube”? Come to think of it, that would probably be a great commercial though.
