Kids dangle from meat hooks for fun
MIAMI (Reuters) - Law enforcement officials in the Florida Keys are
mystified by a bizarre new pastime -- young people dangling themselves
from meat hooks on a popular sandbar.
A U.S. Coast Guard (news - web sites) spokeswoman said on Sunday that
the Monroe County sheriff's office and Coast Guard were called on July
12 to the sandbar off Whale Harbour in Islamorada where locals say wild
behaviour is becoming a tradition.
They found that five young people had erected a bamboo tripod and hung
meat hooks from it. A young woman, her feet brushing the surface of the
shallow water, dangled from the frame, hooks embedded firmly in her
shoulders.
According to a Coast Guard video, she did not seem to mind the hooks.
Lieutenant Tom Brazil of the Coast Guard told the Key West Citizen
newspaper that a young man, who also had hooks embedded in his heavily
pierced and tattooed skin, assured him the group was "just enjoying the
afternoon."
A Coast Guard spokeswoman in Miami said the group had clearly done this
before and intended to post photos of themselves on a Web site dedicated
to "body modification" -- the ritualistic piercing of the body.
"It looked like a daily routine for them," she said, adding that the
hooks had been inserted in the skin in a professional manner and had
drawn very little blood."
"As long as they weren't creating any kind of ruckus or riot within a
crowd they really weren't breaking any laws."
The Coast Guard passed the video on to federal justice authorities but
no further action will be taken.

This is taking "hanging out" a bit too far...

On the other hand, if they get in trouble it could bring a whole new
meaning to "suspended sentence".
