So, yeah. I do some strange things for recreation, and recently it almost killed me:

Anyone else got good near-death experiences to share?

Cool story. Too bad it had to be true. I have never done any REAL big climbing (never needed crampons even) I can't imagine 5.7


I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes kept getting stuck in my nose.

Near-death experiences? I haven't done enough... Almost fell over the edge of the grand canyon, but that's about it.

Not too much to tell, I rolled a 94 Plymouth Acclaim off a road at 55mph.

No time tonight but, my son always says to me "Dad, tell me some of the stupid things you did as a kid"

He know from past experience that that question always leads to fits of uncontrollable laughter. Seems children have a tough time imagining their parents as children... Let alone accident prone ones.

I once wrapped the tail hairs of a year old bull calf around my hand and hit the bull on the ass with a stick.... Never do that.

Nite-nite folks.

The snarkpit doesn't have a suggestive-enough smiley to portray how hard i'm laughing right now <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_lol.gif"> . So, what happened?

When I was 4 I inserted a rusty nail into an electric plug. My right forefinger got fried from its tip, so I guess I was lucky... <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

I stuck a nail in a US socket once, I was trying to adapt a large computer fan to a 110v outlet. lol.

The base voltage in here is 230V. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> Here's a little fact for you: The amount of electricity that kills human being is 30mA(milliampers), but of course that amount must go through your heart before its bye bye time.

I was hiking up a slightly less intense mountain than tracer, and I stopped to get somethign to drink, One of my friends was heading up the trail towards me, so I stepped to the side of the trail into some brush. Almost istantly I heard some really loud rattling. I didn't know what it was at first, but then my friends starting running yelling "Sh*t! rattlesnake." It seems that I had come inches away from stepping on a rattlesnake nest with two full grow snakes in it. Luckily they just rattled instead of bit. I probably would have died if they bit me becuase I was in teh middle of no where on top of a mountain. Probaly the scariest thing that ever happened to me. I was in New Jersey too, which isn't supposed to have rattle snakes.

I was on the hiking on the AT and ran out of food. but we camped with some kids who cooked about 10 pounds of mac n/ cheese so we were able to eat, and the next day we got off the trail and into town.

something about being out in the middle of nowhere and having no food is a bad feeling tho.

Me and my girlfriend were cycling, and we stopped to cross the road. I swear, there was nothing to be seen near, so we thought it was safe. While we're crossing, some tuned-up VW playing techno music accelerates immensely, and misses my girlfriend's bike at 2 inches. I was so scared, pissed and happy nothing happened.

If I ever see that guy again, I'll piss on his car seats. After I kill him.

My dad has almost been killed by his parents for various reasons. One of them was for bringing home a Zeppelin album <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">
