[QUOTE="huntinforfish, post: 263564, member: 607"] To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid. I'm still young and probably somewhere in between. Dove headfirst of the shallow end of a raft once. Stuck my head straight into the mud. Heard and felt my neck and back crack down my spine. There I sat, stuck headfirst in the mud. After pushing myself up and out, swam to shore. though for sure I was going to wake up and not be able to walk. Numerous car incidents. Going off 90 degree corners and such. Once tried to throw a cig out the window and I came back and staritng burning a hole in my new snowboarding pants. During the panic to grab and throw, ended up turning to late in the 90 and then proceeded to drift along the road in the ditch wide open to try to get back up. Barb wire fence and big wooden posts did a number to the tire and the side of the car. Driving my early 90's S10 long box to work, proceeded to slide right off a corned in snow and jumped a driveway. Cleared the whole thing and came down hard on the front end. Thankfully I was wearing my seat belt and walked away with sore chest, ribs and wrists. Only thing that brock on the S10 was the clutch line. Battery had enough juice to jump start in 1st. Drove the truck home. Bouth the people who lived in the house a new pine tree as I cleaned one off on landing. Got hit with a paintball in the forehead about an inch from my eye once while cleaning my mask in the middle of a battle. Two week later a guy we played with shot his own eye out cleaning his gun. We are fans of Tannerite at home for guys weekend. Had the bright idea of placing a couple pound under a 55 gallon steel drum place upside down on top. We thought it would go sky high. Instead, it blew the top off and set it skipping back at us on edge. Skipped right in front of the fence we were behind and cleared the fence only to pass right between the two guys standing next to me. Caught the whole thing on a GoPro. Growing up, and now, we used to put life jackets and goggles on and walk upside down on the bottom of boats. Doing this on a new boat is fine as everything is smooth and clean. We tried on my uncles old flat bottom and I end up slipping and floated horizontal to the underside of the boat. Usually fine to swim out, but my life jacket caught on a rivet or something and I was stuck. Thankfully, I was a hell of a swimmer and didn't panic. Just undid the life jacket and swam out. Went back for the jacket and had to rip the nylon strap to get it off. Could have been back for younger brother who was always right behind me. Had the top off a climber stand drop on me once while 20+ ft up in the air. No sooner grab the top when the bottom fell. Thank goodness for all those dips in football training. I hate climbers. Fell like I could go on and on. Many years to go to add to it I guess. [/QUOTE]
