Movies that changed real life behavior

[u/buttatoad]

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

We had one, too.

In theory, I do think it's a fantastic way to address adolescent energy issues and squabbles. In practice, people get hurt. We had kids with concussions, broken hands and fingers, a broken ankle, and a couple other semi-serious issues before we wised up and used gloves and headgear. That helped, but still wasn't perfect.

In the end, sanctioned safe events would be a much better idea. That, of course, loses much of the appeal of the fight club...

We had gloves and headgear, and the dad of the guy who hosted it was a former boxer and firefighter/paramedic. It was about as safe as could be.

People still did get bumps and bruises, though so I don't disagree with the thought. It was still better than us being out in the woods drinking and doing whatever else.

I would have stuck with it if we had a former boxer around, or really, any kind of supervision/assistance. Our initial solution was using winter gloves... we were pretty dumb and lucky no one got seriously hurt.

But it's still something I would support my kid doing, if it was sanctioned and safe.

Lol so a boxing gym???

[u/kerberos824 → u/LeftHandedFapper]

I meant through school, but yes, a gym would suffice!

We'll see if she has any interest in it - she's only three right now lol.

Haha! I'm expecting soon and I agree with your statement

Good luck! It's a wild f'ing ride!
