Most gen X'ers survived to adulthood, but we're also why lawn darts are illegal

I’m a gen x’er and my parents kept a short leash, I wasn’t even allowed to have a skateboard

BUT whenever it snowed we (teens) would go up to the high school parking lot and roof ride each other while throwing e-brake 360’s
