Well I have two to share;
One day when I was about 7 I decided to ride my bike down the top of a really really big hill. It was located on the same street as mine, and we didnt have much traffic normally, so I thought even if a car comes along I can just avoid it. But then....
OH NOES!
I had started riding down the hill and realised that my brother, in some sort of cruel prank, tied a peice of rope into my chains, rendering them useless. I couldnt pedal, nor could I stop.
I thought I would just wait out the speed until I reached the dirt road at the bottom of the hill. Whats happens next?
Right at the T intersection on the way to the dirt road, just as I am about to reach said T intersection, Mr. Green Car decides to spontaneously drive around said corner towards me!
I was paralysed in fear, to which the car responded with a *beep* *beep* and swerved out of the way JUST in time. But you think my troubles were over, you were wrong sir.
I pass the car, and realise too late that I was going to run smack bang into a road sign, namely the one that looks like this:
_____________
l<<<<<>>>>>l
I'm sure you know the ones. And *BANGENS*, clothsline my self on said sign, causing my bike to fling right out from under me, while I stayed in place. No injuries, but still I almost got hit by a car so that counts.
Next story is a couple of months later, again on that same big hill. Careening down it, WHEE I say WHEE I was having fun. But then (most likely because of the previous accident)
MY BRAKES WOULDNT WORK AGAIN!!! >
And I was heading straight towards the back of a parked car near the bottom of the hill, right near the T intersection. I was paralysed in fear once again, thus controlling of the bars I couldnt.
What happens next is:
*DONK* (huge dent in car)
*whooshing sounds* (me flying straight up into the air)
*CRASHENS* (My bike crashing somewhere)
*SPLAT* (Me hitting the middle of the road face first)
Needless to say, I was quite bloody. Bloody elbows, knees and a small gash on my head from the impact of the ground. Didnt need to go to hospital, but **** I felt like I was gonna die when I saw that car.
And that is my life (death) story
