Every time you hear that people filming themselves doing stupid, dangerous things is a recent trend, consider Austrian tailor
Franz Reichelt. He invented a combination overcoat/parachute, and on February 4, 1912 decided to test it himself by jumping off the Eiffel Tower. It didn't work--and there's
video.

the office, but how much would his jackass behavior
cost in real-life?

Yet another "Jackass" injury This time some teenagers were videotaping themselves performing a stunt in which a guy dodges an oncoming car, apparently in hopes of getting on the show. Interesting video of the event, from both inside and outside the car.
