We all know at least one person who takes any challenge way too seriously. It becomes a matter of reputation when someone dares them. Be it eating some weird sort of dish we ourselves will never eat or be it spending the night in the so-called haunted bungalow, they’ll be ready to do anything once provoked. Trust us they won’t hesitate to jump off the balcony if said.
Such moments become unforgettable memories and make into our happy list while growing up. Not always do such dares end interestingly rather it might turn into something risky. Sam Ballard became a victim of one such horrible incident that took place. This one incident changed not only Sam’s life but also his family and friends’ lives.
In 2010, 19-year-old Sam Ballard, an Australian native took a friendly challenge too seriously and his life too lightly. He was a promising rugby player and was spending one afternoon with his teammates. They had days like that one before as well, where the entire team sat together, watched their favorite matches, got drunk and had fun. Sounds like a perfect summer afternoon with friends, right?
