You Tube has given show-off adolescent males further motivation to engage in spectacularly self-destructive behavior.

In Spanish island resorts the sport of balconing<\/a> has become popular.. It involves climbing from balcony to balcony in a hotel or diving from a balcony into a pool. Death sometime results.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
