You always kind of assume games you play as a child are safe, like some higher power figured out a while back that there's no way the games you play could really mess you up. No, not the "Hide the Salami, Save the Tears," game you played with your uncle, but Tug of War can apparently really mess you up.
Two Parker teens are recovering quickly from reattachment surgery following a severe accident in which their hands were partially cut off during a game of tug-of-war.
Parker police said Henry Barrett and Mitch Helfer were injured in the gymnasium of Lutheran High School last Friday during a homecoming pep rally event. They were part of a tug-of-war team of 40 to 50 juniors who were competing with 40 to 50 seniors.
The school held an assembly on Monday morning to update everyone on the condition of the teens. Lowe said school leaders also held a prayer to "reclaim the gym" for those students who have been afraid to go into it since the accident.
Afraid to go into the gym since the accident? It's not like the gym is haunted by a couple of ghost hands, going around tickling people and slapping them in the face. Grow up, Lutheran High School.
It's times like these when you're glad you didn't opt to play Tug of War using your penis as the primary leverage point. That would be somewhat more uncomfortable.

And what's with the video accompanying the story where they use the graphic "Student Death"? They didn't die! Someone YouTube that bad boy and send it to me.
We cheated at my high school tug of war. We sprayed that really sticky spray (I think it's used prior to taping up ankles) and destroyed the seniors as freshman. Damn that makes me proud.
