Borgenicht and Piven consulted hundreds of experts, among them demolition-derby drivers, wilderness survivalists and emergency medics, to come up with accurate solutions to the 40 scenarios in the book. While they enjoyed exploring their inner MacGyvers, they don't plan to test-run their material. "You might survive but end up with some kind of disfiguring injury," says Borgenicht. For example, the manual carefully lays out the best procedure for jumping from a building into a Dumpster before noting, under "Be Aware," that "the Dumpster may be filled with bricks or other unfriendly materials."

...Justice Policy Institute and the Children's Law Center, have examined the federal data and, in a report released Wednesday, concluded that almost all forms of youth crime, including violent crimes and homicide, have been on the decline throughout the U.S. for the past decade.

And as an attempt to settle an irreconcilable dispute between two members there is a duel using archaic pistols. Apparently this is a common method of settling intra-Skulls disputes, since in the movie there...
...take off last week, however, and the fate of Elian, the lad whose mother Elisabeth drowned while escaping Cuba, leaving him to float on an inner tube for two days, seemed further than ever from being resolved. In fact, Castro's turnabout panicked Miami like an air-raid siren, raising cold war tensions most Americans put behind them a decade ago. As a showdown loomed between the U.S. government and the politically potent and volatile exiles, Elian's welfare once again seemed the last thing on the minds of the Cuban leader and other political opportunists...
