10 Fads That Killed People

    Ghost Riding (2006)

    Some fads are both absurd and hilarious all at once. Case in point: ghost riding, the practice of jumping wholly or partially out of your car while it’s in motion to bust dance moves on the hood or the pavement before jumping back behind the wheel. The trend started with the “hyphy” hip-hop movement in the Bay Area, but it spread worldwide and as many as eight people have died attempting it. Victims have fallen from the top of cars, smashed their heads on bumpers and even flipped their vehicles over while ghost riding, turning themselves into literal ghosts in the process.

Sagging pants was in the late 80's, early 90's for gangstas and wannabes to hide a gun in their waist band. Then is spread to suburban idiots.

This has nothing to do with fads and everything to do with morons.

When did waterbeds become a fad anyway?

Whomever put this together is an idiot.

The first "popular" group to sag was Kriss Kross in the 90s. Several of the law enforcement personnel I worked with then (and now) relate it to their work scenes...

its just stupid people doing stupid sh*t that's all its too it. Doesn't mean you shouldn't do certain things. Like the old guy dancing to gangnam style and dying. He was one foot in the grave already if that killed him. The austrilian kid doing planking on a f**n skyscraper. Stupid!! or the guy who tripped on his sagging pants and fell 3 stories while robbing and killing people. I say that's what they all deserved. Idiots are getting their rewards!!

Sagging didn't come about in the early 2000. Sagging has been around since I've been alive and I'm 26. Tupac sagged all the time. Don't give credit to the 2000's for a thing some did in the 1980's and hundreds later in the 1990's.
