A “rite of passage”? Well, yes, it certainly was that.
“You never did anything stupid as a young person?”
Sure did. And it hurt every single time.

Mayor Pete topics are often full of comments pulled by mods
And, by the way, a having a "journalism" major is scarcely an indicator of any intellectual achievement. She should be eligible for a Darwin award. She meets the criteria. Climbing a locked clock tower, "for the view"? No mention of a selfie.
Did she fall, or was she inconvenient to an aggressive progressive?
In the current climate, it's only payback. And journalists, with their "if it bleeds, it leads" mind set, should not expect any more sympathy than they exhibit.
The equation is balanced, even if she couldn't.
Amen. Should'a been dead several times in my teens and a couple of times serving in the Navy. Then recently as a senior citizen I dropped dead on the basketball court and was revived. God's been better to me than I deserve (apologies to Dave Ramsey).
My memory isn't what it used to be. I only remember the episode because I thought it a bit of a stretch, even for Mon. :-)
Yeah me too. We also would climb the light towers at Grant Field.

ask not for whom the bell tolls...
Never mix Clock Towers and Gravity.
“I had a friend who died playing stupid games in high school. I suppose this is more common than we would like to think. RIP to the young lady.”
I had a friend who died on the first day of Junior High School. He was walking between train cars, the train hit a curve and he fell into the wheels and the third rail.

If her parents co-signed them, they will be.
How many of us ...but by God’s Grace, escaped similar youthful moments...
I did.

Guilty here too.....
