Stupid me had my finger on the screwdriver shaft! My hand spasm'd tight around the driver, then my arm went stiff, then my heart started to hurt as my whole upper body went tense. Luckily I managed to walk backwards down the bath top before falling off on to the bathroom floor!
Did you survive?
I tried to swim out to some rocks whilst in Tenerife which doesn't sound too bad, but I'm not a strong swimmer and it was about 200m out to the rocks, the tide was going out, I'd dislocated by collarbone about 6 weeks beforehand which meant my shoulder didn't really work, and I'd had a few bevvies.
I made it out to the rocks ok, rested on the rocks for about 30 minutes whilst getting cut up by the jagged rocks, and then made it about half way back to the beach before I started to sink.
thankfully my mate was able to drag me back to shore at which point we lay on the sand for about an hour unable to move through exhaustion.
when we could stand up we went and got well and truly bladdered in celebration of life 😀
+1 for getting shot at, never fun and I try not to do it these days.
Another was deciding to take a short cut across a sand and mud bay with a creek on a lonely bit of a quiet island, got sucked in to my waist and escaped on my belly.
Pure scariest thing was hopping on a ski lift with no bar and a wriggling three year old, think I aged twenty years in three minutes.
Not me but...
I caught a 1st year apprentice at work welding whilst stood on an open 25 litre drum of highly flamable paint thinners. 😯
Not the smartest I think you'll agree. 😀
