Lucky Escapes!

When I was about 10 years old a large rock fell off a roof onto my head!

The rock broke in two and all I had was a rather large bruise!

Though, it may still catch up with me one day!

When I was about six I was stood close to window when a naughty mate threw a stone which shattered the glass, it seemed all the shards had miraculously missed me as I was completely unscathed and didn’t feel anything hit me, later that evening whilst eating my dinner I started having trouble breathing followed by the feeling that something was lodged in my throat, after turning red and nearly passing out I coughed up a chunk of glass that was about the size and shape of a fifty pence piece.

That still freaks me out to this day.

when I was 10 I was run over by a car (well hit anyway). I bounced up onto the bonnet then the windscreen, where I tore my new coat on the windscreen wiper, before finally falling to the ground in front of the car.

Luckily my mum didn't kill me for tearing my new coat.

When I was very young, my dad used to keep a can of petrol in the garage to fill up the lawnmower.
I remember wondering what would happen if I lit a match and dropped it in. I think I thought it would be a small whispy flame - just as you would get if you lit meths or white spirit.
I recall standing there lighting match after match and dropping it into the can but nothing happened. After tipping some out I found it was actually full of water.

I only really remembered that quite recently, makes me shudder to think what a twat I was.

I escaped from Light Relief. Now I roam free amongst you.

When I was about 14 I was doing about 90mph on my BMX (loved that bike!) at night in the local park when I hit a tree branch. I had a black eye and a cut between my eye and the bridge of my nose. Millimetres from being blind in one eye.

Also tried to syphon the petrol tank of my wrecked car when I was 17 and swallowed a good mouthful. Was burping fumes for days afterwards

I read some Wilmslow threads and almost killed myself in despair.
