I was 12 and carved my anitials Van Halen into the beautiful red body of my standard strat. Then, shortly after, I was playing some Hendrix in my bedroom and went to do a solo and well needless to say, bye bye strat. (Guess you could call me lucky!)

Like you said, you were 12. I did lots of stupid things when I was 12, like eating worms or shooting bottle rockets off in your hands. I think it all turned out ok. :twisted:

Doing stupid things is an integral part of childhood and any other age bracket for that matter.Live and learn. :)

I'm glad you put "any other age bracket". Knowing what I do every week, I could write a book on stupid stuff I have done.

I'm an insurance adjuster and there are a lot of adults that do some really stupid things with their vehicles. Don't be so hard on your childhood self. Just limit the stupid things you do as an adult... it's better that way for everybody! :D

I'd be willing to bet half of us here are lucky to have lived thru our childhoods, especially us older guys. There was no such thing as safety gear back then.

I once accidentally put a 3-amp fuse in a Fender Silverface Champ (meant to have a 1-amp fuse). I was playing it, and it started getting a LOT quieter, as if I was turning down the volume drastically. I wasn't! Then it started smelling BAD and smoking! :oops: I don't like the smell of burnt transformers in the morning, it sure don't smell like victory. Needless to say, I triple check EVERYTHING I do to an amp now.

I broke the strings on my dad's Gibson acoustic (I can't remember what kind it was) when my parents split, smashed a crappy plastic starter acoustic guitar and did both to a crappy electric when I was a kid.
I think that was pretty stupid.

Amen brother!!

We had safety gear, it was called skin and bones.

Not to mention the way that the car always seemed to find its way home. :shock:

Safety equipment? Not when I was a boy. I certainly didn't have a Recaro car seat with a built-in MP3 player.We did have a VW 1600 Variant with very cheap vinyl seats that in summer got so clammy my parents would pull down my trousers and my naked backside would stick so firmly to the seat no crash in the world could shift me. In winter the seats got so cold my parents would spit on the seat of my trousers and I'd freeze stuck.

Someone should market an "I survived the 70's" t-shirt.

LOL... Someone I can relate to! My parent's had a '69 VW Beetle. Who needs a baby seat!!! They'd wrap me up and put me in the "package compartment" behind the back seat. The hum of the motor beneath me would lull me to sleep, and it was the ONLY warm spot in the car during those Ohio winters. :lol:
