Yes, I have, but I've posted it a million times and I'm tired of talking about it. I was almost beat to death when I first moved to Canada.

I'm not mentioning it anymore.

Every single day on my motorbike, people round here are right cunts once in their cars.

Yeah, that sounds bad man.

I've had a couple, but I don't fancy going into it right now

I was locked in the School Grounds when I was 15 after Football Training and had to climb over the Spiked Fence to get home.

It was raining and I slipped while climbing over and the Spike entered my Neck, missing my Jugular Vein by Millimeters, broke through the bottom of my mouth and I was left hanging on the fence.

I had to pull myself off the fence, which Doctors later told me was the worst thing I coul have done. I guess Im really lucky to still be here but I was young and daft and didnt realise they seriousness at the time!

Needless to say, I sued the School for a Few Grand for locking the school gates before time!

Peace :thumbsup:

one time i was in our schools catwalk (light hangers above the stage) and i was sitting in a chair, handling a light...i twitched, and the chair leg fell through the cracks between the floor boards, but only one did, so my chair tilted sideways. i straight up fell off the catwalk but managed to grab the bar on the outer lip. i was hanging there for a good twenty seconds regaining my composure, the only people around were those on teh catwalk. i secured myself to the poll so i couldnt fall (with an aviation cable...very strong). and slowly pulled myself up.
FUCKING SCARY>

Uhhhhh.

I saw a rattlesnake tail go under a rock I was on... once... about 5 years ago.

I mean.

IT WAS FUCKING COMING RIGHT THE FUCK AT ME! SO I FUCKING BOOTED IT RIGHT OVER THE FUCKING... OCEAN!


Also, when I was a wee one, a friend and myself were playing on the ocean cliffs, and we jumped over this inside corner of a cliff, with a tree on the actual corner. We both made it fine, but thinking back we could've easily clipped the tree and fallen to our deaths.

When I was just starting to walk I put the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner in my mouth and ran about the garden. I fell over and the nozzle went through the roof of my mouth a couple of mm further I would have died. I have been crushed in the playground nearly spliting my skull. (done that about 3 times). Smashed my head against a wall while running (fell over while running very fast and my head landed straight on the wall. Fell off a quad doing about 50mph. Got trampled by some cows. Was in a car crash and the car flipped over 5 times. Fell off my roof onto a fence (that fucking hurt) For a dare while drunk a few friends jumped in a massive patch of nettles. My mate was running full pelt at me and slipped kneeing me right in the head (was out cold for about 5 minutes) he nearly broke his knee it was that hard (thanks for that chris)

the first night i had my lisence i took my moms mini-van to this crazy road way out in the country where i live. its got many elevation changes and it feels like a rollercoaster if yourr going fast enough. well these roads are no wider than 2 cars right next to eachother... i was going 85 down this patch of 2 slopes. at the bottom was a slight incline again with no visiblity beyond that... my mini van was no match for the turn(keep in mind the posted speed limit was 25). i had 2 friends in the car, both had minor scratches. i was completely fine... after i woke up 15 feet away from my car on the concrete with glass shards all in my left arm. apparently we hit a tree on left, i flew out the window, then the car swung back to the right side of the road, hit another tree, then proceeded to roll another 2 times before stopping. i looked at the drivers side and my seat had been calapsed on... thank god i wasnt wearing my seatbelt

ya that was a long one, sorry :rasta:
