At about ten or eleven, lived in a two story house. Games of “follow the leader” involved running upstairs, escaping through second story window onto porch roof and jumping to the ground. Also, shinning up one tree, swinging by rope to another tree. At 75, I have a coffee mug that says, “When I look back on my life—I wonder why I’m still alive.”
In Texas we didn’t get enough snow for this, but we did attempt the umbrella “parachute” off the garage roof. The folks were none too happy about the ruined umbrellas.
In 7th grade in North Dakota we could go out the window of the second floor onto the garage and jump into the snow drifts. Such fun, wish I could still do such.

They won’t suffocate from CO-poisoning for sure…
