Just the other day i was walking home. It was late. Like 12 am.
I heard screeching tires and when i looked i saw a car drive off this 40 foot embankment that was almost vertical.
Amazingly enough not hitting one of the many tress that were aligning it.

I have seen some crasy footage of stuff on TV, but most of us have.
Anyone else have some real life live stories to tell.

I saw a guy peel out of a parking lot once on a Yahama RD 350 motorcycle and plow right into the side of a car that turned onto the road from the opposite side of the street.

The rider flipped over the hood of the car and did a somersault in the air and landed right on his feet unhurt. Pretty amazing.

The bike was bent and he hit the car in the wheel so it was not badly damaged.

As an ex EMT I have seen more funny and some not so funny stuff.
The funniest I think would be the rather large lady we could note get through het bed room door way.

The fire dept had to help us on that one and when we got to parkland hospital they had to use what looked like a engine hoist
at the loading dock to lift her up into a special bed.

Bless her heart I hope she made it.

Driving down Hwy 400 towards Toronto I came across a massive traffic jam in the two right-hand lanes...but no cars in the far left lane. So I pull into that lane grinning from ear to ear that no-one else was doing so and that I would get ahead of everyone.

Suddenly I see in front of me half...yes HALF...of a car, which was badly burned up and still smoking.

I don't know how I missed it but when I got my bearing back after a wild turn onto the embankment I then noticed all the flashing lights of fire engines and police cars.

A cop who was pretty ticked off at me held up the two lanes of traffic so that I could cross over onto the embankment on the other side of the highway (which was the only way past the accident that had occured) effectively cutting into the very front of the traffic jam.

As I passed the scene I noticed a crumpled mass lying on the road near another cop who was directing one lane of traffic past the wreakage. As I went past I poked my head out of the window and looked down to see what it was.

It was a very badly burned up body.

I don't think I went over 50km/h for the rest of the ride home. Same for everyone else around me. I was freaked out for weeks afterwards.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

I watched a friend roll a 4-wheeler at 40 mph, get up, turn it back over, and take off again.

A friend and I were passed going down a flooded street... by a boat.

I watched my friend Ashley stroll through the middle of 150 of my troops, right past my bodyguards, and kill me while I was generaling a 1000 player paintball event. I was too dumbstruck to do anything about it, or run away like common sense dictated. "Hey... that's Ash... she's not on my... *#$!"

Again, playing paintball, I was leaving the sewer tunnels at the Camp Blanding MOUT site, to find all 3 enemy tanks about 10 feet away... looking at me. I fell off the ladder, picked myself up, flipped out a grenade that I forgot to pull the pin on, and hobbled away from the grenades they started throwing down the manhole.

I recently met some idiot who didn't like Hank Williams. He could only barely function in modern society.

i saw a full on brawl in the middle of the afternoon in the middle of state street in madison wisconsin

(state street is no cars allowed, goes from the capital building to the lake about 2 miles of all shops, street performers, weirdos, and tourists)

the fight was less than 10 feet from me (when it started, i quickly got away) it was about 12-15 "hippies" in berkenstock sandals, tye died shirts, some had dredlocks, the WHOLE sterotypical early 90's hippy kid about 20 years old.

they were fighting the locak punks of the area again maybe 10-12 of them. the punks again were straight out of the movies, you could smell 15 feet away they hadnt bathed, piercings all over, ratty leather clothes, the works.

so this punk (seemed like the "leader" rund over to this hipster dude, and just CLOCKS him in the side of the head. knocks him to the ground bleeding immediatly. he must have been unconsenous, because he didnt get up as long as i was watching the fight.

i have never seen someone get hit that hard, and that unaware in my life. the guy never saw it comming, and probably when he woke up had to ask what happened.

that was like i said about 10 feet away from me as me and the people i was with were walking along the sidewalk. it was a very busy summer day, and the crowd just scattered like roaches after that first hit.

the fight quickly broke into 10 on 10 with others in the area rushing to get in on the action, it probably ended up to be like 25 on 25 before the beating took it's toll, and people dropped out of the fight, bleeding and what not. 1 guy's entire face was blood, i dont think he could even see. he was crawling away from the brawl, and a punk spoted him, ran over and started kicking and stomping on him. another punk came running over and pulled the first one off the bleeding hippy, and the 2 ran like the wind down the street away from the fight.

the hippies lost, but took about 4-5 of the punks with them, and by the time the first single police officer showed up everyone was running away like mad.

it took about 20 minutes for more cops to show up, and the blocked off that area of the street. we were watching the whole thing from about a block of more away by this time, and were not questioned about the incident. we quietly made our way away as far as we could get.

to this day i can see those bloodied people, fists flying, all that, and i have no clue why the fight started.

For fun. That was the one & only game at Camp Blanding, and had about 800 players if I remember correctly. I took a field trip with a different scenario promoter checking out a MOUT site in Lousiana that was way, way cooler. It had break out sections of buildings, better terrain, smoke generators built into buildings, MILES gear setup. It was amazing. Then 9/11 happened, and that fell through

You don't want my jobs. I have 3, and I only like one of them... but I have to do something to pay for my toys.

Here's me climbing into the sewer early in the game. Ironically, with all the concrete & Florida summer weather, the sewers were the only place on the field cool enough to stay put in.
