26 Pranks That Almost Killed Someone

The mark of a good prank is generally based on two things. One: Everyone laughs. Two: No one nears death. This latter point, however, has clearly eluded some people. One Redditor, for instance, remembers a high school friend who jumped on top of another friend’s moving car, fell off, cracked his head open and now has irreparable brain damage. Not funny at all.

Other Redditors have shared tales about almost-deadly pranks as well, and it seems that many people underestimate the power of explosives.
