The simple definition of the word ‘stupid’ is to be unintelligent and to have or show a lack of ability to learn and understand things. 

We should never call people 'stupid' because it’s a strong word that makes someone feel inferior, but when you see a video like this that has gone viral around the world, it’s hard to think of another word to use.

When you visit a game park, the number one rule is to stay in your car, right? Well, one family wanted to defy that rule and ended up getting the fright of their lives.

A family of five recently visited a Safari Park in the Netherlands and decided to ignore all warnings so they could get better photos and a good look at the cheetahs. In the video, you can see them getting out of their car with the animals nearby. The mother even takes her small child out the car.

The cheetahs ended up surrounding the family and tried attacking them, which sent them running in fear. Surprisingly, all five individuals made it back to the safety of their vehicle unharmed. Phew! 

Can you think of a more suitable word to use other than 'stupid'? Crazy!
