Sticking around them and making sure they don't do it would work, though calling them and trying to get their minds on other things would work too.

Short of tying them to something immovable, there is no way to KEEP them from doing anything. However, you may be able to be there for them in their time of need. By "doing something stupid", I am assuming their reaction to some event in their lives, e.g. a breakup or some life event. Be a friend, and try to keep their mind off of things. You can't make anyone not do something. You can, however, help them to not do it.
