You Know What's Dumb? A Work In Progress

A growing list, in no particular order:

1) Going to Mount Everest
2) Taking selfies on cliffs
3) ATV driving
4) Leaving things in cars. Things you will miss if they are stolen. Even you, A-Rod
5) Dodgeball
6) Running the bulls in Pamplona.
7) Base jumping. Even for science.
8) Getting off the boardwalk / pathway near sources of geothermal energy (volcanoes, geysers)
9) Getting in a rocket you built in your back yard
10) Puppetry of the Penis  
11) Photographing wildlife close up in state parks
12) Challenging the world land speed record when you're 69. Everybody knows your reaction rate slows when you're old.
15) Gender reveals.
17) Rich people space travel
18) Shipwreck looky-looing
20) Wearing stiletto heels when you're 84 years old

I can't feel sorry for you if you're going to do stupid stuff.

Bonus points for death or serious harm while selfie-ing.

Is it a sign of age that this stuff is getting on my nerves? When you know that things are ill-advised and you make the choice to do them anyway, I'm not going to feel sorry for you after the bad thing happens.

Updates:

I just added dodgeball. It's mean. 

Space travel was suggested by That Nice Boy, and I heartily agree
People who go looking at the Titanic and then have to be rescued. Waste of money
