10. Pro tip: Just. Don’t. Do. This.
9. These pricks (apologies, the pun had to be made….)
8. He crashed his ATV into a cactus, you won’t believe what happened next!! (Spoiler alert: you will)
7. Apparently she walked into a cactus? (warning, don’t watch if squeamish)
6. Have you nothing better to do with your free time, sir? Seriously?!
5. We’d love to see the ER doctor’s face when this guy explains what happened.
4. “Like, if I try to touch this with my finger, it’s gonna stick to my finger . . . ahh, ehhh, uhhh” (whimpers uncontrollably)
