Teens Almost Die Attempting YouTube Stunt

Oh YouTube, is there anything stupid you can't inspire people to do? From getting tasered, to getting smashed with a chair, YouTube features idiots of every stripe causing themselves extreme pain.

 

In a bid for YouTube fame, two teens from Peoria, Arizona tried to get their Mitsubishi Eclipse airborne by flying through an intersection. Needless to say, the pair failed miserably. They did get airborne, but, upon landing, the car's 16 year-old driver lost control and crashed through several trees and rolled over.

 

The driver is in critical condition, while the 17-year-old passenger was treated and released from the hospital. Worst of all for the two injured teens, their friends didn't record the incident. Still, due to their complete stupidity, they still managed to achieve Internet fame. [source: KTAR, Via: Fark

Sadly, their real claim to "fame" would've been through the Darwin Awards... but they failed at that, too.

If that 16 year old was my child he/she'd be using the bus for the next two years.
