23 Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Kids Do | The Art of Manliness

Here's the "Cliff's Notes" version

1. Play With Fireworks
2. Hammer a Nail
3. Stick Your Arm Out a Car Window
4. Jump Off a Cliff
5. Use a Bow and Arrow
6. Cook a Meal
7. Climb a Tree
8. Roughhouse
9. Go Sledding
10. Drive a Car
11. Burn Things With a Magnifying Glass
12. Walk or Ride a Bike to School
13. Shoot a Gun
14. Stand on the Roof
15. Squash a Penny on a Railroad Track
16. Sword Fight With Sticks
17. Shoot a Slingshot
18. Explore a Construction Site
19. Use a Pocket Knife
20. Climb a Rope
21. Ride Your Bike Off a Ramp
22. Make a Fire
23. Explore a Tunnel

I'm going to add a few

24. Make a tennis ball cannon
25. Roll down a hill in a tire
26. Jump off a swing
27. Get in a fight
28. Catch a snake

Also, WRT #21, jumping your bike over a ramp is fun. Jumping your bike over your buddy who is laying in the road in front of the ramp is better. Being the kid laying in the road while your buddies jump their bikes over you is totally bad ass!

1, 2, 3 (but with a head instead), 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, and 26.

Bikes are overrated - just use a tractor tire like a real man.
 
#2 How is learning to use hand tools bad? Power saw maybe but that depends on age of child
#6 Cook a meal is something that they most definitely SHOULD do
#9 Is pretty much defacto snow day entertainment
#20 Is a PE requirement at the elementary schools my children went to
