Two Kentucky teenagers were injured Monday trying to recreate a scene from MTV's outlandish Jackass . It is the second copycat incident to result in injury in as many weeks and third since January. He didn't, and was hit by the car.
Police say the teen had practiced the maneuver successfully prior to taping.
A passenger was operating a video camera when the car hit the wannabe stuntman, who is listed in good condition with a broken leg and assorted cuts, bumps and bruises. The teens, who were planning to use the tape to get on Jackass , have been charged with wanton endangerment, a felony. Their names have not been released. Although MTV's Website warns viewers not to try to imitate the stunts or send in home videos to the show, that hasn't stopped other teens from aping the dangerous stunts undertaken by host Johnny Knoxville and his crew of cretins. The boy didn't use a flame-resistant suit.
