First we take Michigan--then the whole world!
Back in the late 70s, I was once driving from Cambridge to Chilicothe...back roads all the way, early morning. The roads were smothered in dense fog, and I was an idiot back then. Was following this car that was just dragging along. Finally I can see that I have passing stripes. So, even though my visibility is down to about 30 feet, I punch it and get in the passing lane. Just as I get parallel to the car, two headlights appear out of the fog coming right at me.

How the hell I got out of the way in time I will never know. Needless to say, I was a bit more safety concsious from that day forward.
 
Pretty much every time I ride one of these:

I remember when I was about 8-9 years old the school bus was running about 10-15 minutes late one morning. As I sat there waiting for the bus in my driveway I kept thinking about how I was going to get into trouble because I was late to school. We lived on a busy state road and normally the busdriver would pull into our driveway because he was my cousin and our driveway was pretty long with an easy place to turn around.

Anyway, this particular morning, as soon as the bus finally passed over the hill heading towards my house, I took off running towards the road so that it wouldn't have to come up my driveway and we could save some valuable seconds. I was so worried about getting on the bus, I forgot to look for oncoming traffic (stop sign on bus wasn't out because my cousin was anticipating turning into our driveway and didn't see me coming). As I was approaching the road, I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I stopped less than a foot from the road while a pickup truck going approximately 55 mph crossed right in front of me. Scared the driver of the truck so bad he turned around to make sure I was ok and talk to my cousin, thus costing us more time and making me even later for school.

No doubt if I would've been a fraction faster I wouldn't be here now. Good thing I was just a slow little white boy. :biggrin:

In high school my buddies and I inhaled Propel to catch a buzz. There was a skull and crossbones on the side of the can and the instructions "Use in a well ventilated area" Dipshits. :shake:

I have definetly put my car into some extremely tight places while racing. But the worst was one time I was racing around some corners in the backwoods and flipped my car into a telephone pole while not wearing a seatbelt. Got out without a scratch on me though. Knock on wood and Thank God. Def. prayed a lot that night.

Acid, lots of acid.
Drinking and driving

Once during a massive rainstorm an area near my childhood home flooded. Like idiots we pulled my parents canoe out and went canoeing in the flooded streets. I jumped out of the canoe at one point and fell into a sewer that's lid had been removed to speed drainage. I was in the process of getting sucked down the sewer when two guys were finally able to pull me out.

Yep~ In 1988 I was on a ferris wheel with a date & I pointed out that one of the support bars above us would be below us as we went up & he thought he could touch it with his foot! He did,but as he did, his foot got stuck between the foot rest & bar & locked the seat in place just as we got to the top!!:yow1: Then as we were starting to go over with it locked in place & feeling the forward pitch, he rocked it violently & freed his foot just as we were really feeling that sensation of getting dumped out & over onto concrete! This was a few seconds in my life that felt like a really long hour!!
The gypsy running the thing thought we were rocking it for fun & yelled at us!
Never will I do that again,it was so close you don't even want to know. Well he is even a fireman,that is why we were there in the first place for the parade:roll2: !! A few of his friends knew what happened other than that nobody knew! We went drinking after that life lesson in what not to do!:beer:

In middle school I climbed to the top of the tree in our front yard; and just when I popped my head above the highest leaves and realized I could see over the house into the backyard, the branch I was holding peeled off and I fell straight down, probably 25+ feet flat onto my back. Somehow I broke my glasses but not any bones.
