Brought on by Mrs. Panda's question of the day... I was proned to writing up this little experience from about 6 years ago.
"Well... near death experiences.... I don't think I can top Anatema, but I'll try.
I seem to be car wreck pron... and I've never driven due to the fact I'm only 15. ^_^ I have been in a total of 9 car accidents... and coincidentally have been wearing my seat belts... no damage done.
But... a few summers ago, I believe it was 1999, well my father, his friends, his girlfriend and her kids, and I all went on our yearly 10 day long camping trip. Yet, this year... was different.
We seemed to get quite a few storms through the 1st week, which ruined the dirt roads, (I live in Arizona, and the dirt in the northern mountians... is like Californias.... it just gives every now and then...). After about a the eighth day we decided to stay in camp instead of going fishing. Soon another storm came floating over... and BAM!! A blast of Lightning hit about 10 yards away from were I was standing.... and I was running over in that direction right before it happened.
The lightning seemed like a bad omen... but we just brushed it off... which is where we went wrong.
The next day, we were hit by even harder storms... which gave all the roads a washboard effect. Soon, we decided to go fishing anyways. After leaving camp, and traveling about a mile down a winding road, we hit a severe washboard. The trucks tail end drifted to the left, towards the cliff drop off, and the truck did two and a three quaters flips.... landing on the driver side. Out of 6 people in the car... I was the only one wearing a seat belt.
Every body got out okay... and I had to run a mile back to camp to get help... of which we almost rolled the other truck trying to get out there... -_-;
Every body was fine.... and the truck was totaled... but the one thing I will always remember about this, was that up the the wheel well on the back end was hanging off the cliff."
Sorry to steal your question Panda.... but I want to know some other's near death experiences/severe frights...
toodles, I'm off to bed. |
