I did enough stupid things when young I'm lucky I made it to 30. After that, I became less stupid. The craziest one was sliding down the face of a 50 ft. high vertical dam into 2 feet-deep water to impress a girl named Jane on our last date before I left Maryland to go to grad. school in Chicago. A college physics professor calculated I was going over 40 mph when I hit the water, where I had been warned to cup my hands over my eyes just before hitting it so the impact wouldn't knock my eyes out of their sockets. I escaped with a very-slightly bruised back and no cuts! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted November 13, 2021 Share #7 Posted November 13, 2021 My best friend in high school was a really great guy. He got cancer and died at the age of 55. I, OTOH, am not nearly the great person he was, yet I live on. Life isn't fair. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted November 13, 2021 Share #8 Posted November 13, 2021 The biggest danger in my childhood was a paper cut from the books I was reading. I did my share of stupid things at various times, but overall, I was never particularly wild. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days my ride 80% routes are away from car road traffic. It's very easy...and I can go over 140 km....if I really wanted to. I'm sure within present city I would get temporarily lost. Realistically for me it's up to 50 km ride, Benefit of living close to major pathway system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest if you do a search on "Florida Man" you'll see that you haven't even gotten close to true stupid, and to be on borrowed time you would have had to up your game to a Florida level long, long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted November 14, 2021 Share #16 Posted November 14, 2021 I think the dumbest thing I ever did was to spin out in my mg on a back road and come to rest within a few feet of a telephone pole. No wait, it was putting my bike brake pads in backwards as a teen, so they went shoosting oot of their holders so I sailed across a busy highway. Both of those incidents make me very happy to be here, so to answer the OP, I guess that makes the answer yes. Hell yes, in fact! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prophet Zacharia Posted November 14, 2021 Share #19 Posted November 14, 2021 My father died at age 45. For 29 years, I assumed the same would be true for me as well. But by that math, I’m coming up on the start of bonus year 6 soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted November 14, 2021 Share #21 Posted November 14, 2021 Someone once said I must be part cat. Asked how many lives I had left! When I survived my severely ruptured appendix, I ran into a friend who was not very religious leaned into me and said “God kept you here for a reason.” Talk about pressure! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I've tested a few helmets to failure in my lifetime. Never broke my neck, but never shattered my skull either. I think they're totally worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
