[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3557798, member: 44288"] Growing up I think I accomplished ever type of motorcycle wreck you can imagine. \ Knocked myself out with a hammer trying to fix the tractor. Woke up and walked home but was picked up by neighbor almost giving her a heart attack because I was covered in blood from my scalp wound. Hit by lightning ... twice. Same circumstances, same exact place a year apart. I was trying to get the field I was working finished before the thunderstorm hit. It caught me and it was raining hard. I had a cab and listening to my FM KWHP in Edmond with headphones on and was grounded with a big plow. I heard this low to high pitched whine and WHAM! It hit so hard the rubber on the tires melted onto the wheels. It killed the diesel tractor. A year later, same field trying to finish, different thunderstorm, this time I heard the whine and tripped the plow out and it hit. I wasn't grounded and it didn't do any damage. Shot at in college by mistake. Shot at and hit while hunting quail. Shot at on the job while driving. I never found out where it was coming from. Walked past a guy that was ready to pipe wrench me one night and din't see him. He said he was about 5 ft away and If I got any closer he was going to whack me. Wrestled gun away from a guy that really wanted to shoot my partner. Partner had a death grip on the revolver's cylinder. I'm really surprised there weren't grip marks in the metal. Multiple multiple wrecks, none approaching fatality level but could have real easily. Fell off of a ladder from three stories up. Nothing broken but I had to go back up and retrieve my heart. Fell off a ladder from 10 ft onto concrete. Broke the whole right side of my body. R leg, R shoulder, Right hand, and two toes. Leg had twisted up in the ladder and was kissing my butt when I stopped rolling. That one took me 3 years to rehab and get back to work. My hand was so swollen it took a year of therapy just to get it working again. I still drop stuff because I can't grip it very well. [ATTACH=full]201229[/ATTACH] During rehab I had a heart attack and a quad bypass. I have been taking fewer risks and being real careful after that last one. [/QUOTE]
