What people who died doing Parkour teach us?

Let’s face it Parkour was originally developed to bring an instinct of survival not madness that leads to disaster but kids today are getting all it wrong. What they think of Parkour is that it is some kind of game. In which they have to flip and take a photo so that they can upload it on social media.

However, due to in-observant characteristics of these people many people have lost their lives.
