They say hindsight is 20/20, but these situations seemed pretty problematic from the jump. First, a teenager was curious to know whether or not his tongue would actually stick to a steel pole if he went outside and licked one in the freezing temperatures, and he got his answer! From the risk to the pain to the unfathomable germ exposure — let's all agree to not try this one at home, shall we?

Next, a man was laying down on the couch when his son picked up the other end of his resistance band. Each holding one end, the toddler began walking away, stretching the band until...SNAP! Ouch, that one had to hurt.
