I defend that one, it’s just challenging yourself, no harm to anyone else or any property, almost no danger of medical harm. What’s the harm in letting them embarrass themselves for the right to claim they did something others couldn’t?

    That's why I let them do it. If it would have harmed them seriously or someone else I would have stopped it. But still doesn't make it less stupid. They put themselves in legit pain due to peer pressure.

    If anything it served a good lesson so they might be less likely to succumb to peer pressure on things which may cause real harm in the future.
