Lifelong mountain dweller here. I hate those times when you slip on ice and your feet go up level with your head, and you have time to think on your way down “oh man, this is gonna hurt”.
#5, stupid ass had that coming to him #10, watched it happen to a neighbor once, after I watched the wind push my parked car down an icy driveway. What a day that was
#10 came mighty close to getting some 'spensive dental work done by that retaining wall there. Instead, he caught a break and slid down the incline. Lucky bastard he ...
#10 - I've done that myself, but I didn't lose my shoes. The first thing I did when I got to the bottom was look around to see if anyone had seen my dumb ass. (...they had and we all got a good laugh out of it.)
A few years ago, we had an ice storm overnight and I nevertheless had to drive to work the following day. I made it okay and when I got there I parked at the top of the parking lot so I wouldn't have to chance the treacherous uphill walk across the frozen asphalt. When I came out a few hours later, my van had slid, on its own, all the way down to the bottom. A curb was all that kept it from going over the side.
#10 Roads froze before I returned from work one night. I live in a hilly community do the truck wouldn't make it up one of the hills. The next morning was a USNR weekend. On the way to the truck my feet went out from under me and I hit the back of my head when I went down. Got knocked our for a couple of seconds. When I arrived at the reserve station I mentioned it to someone. Found myself making an hour long trip to Bremerton Naval hospital for a check up. No concussion, but certainly made for a different day. That kind of ice could truly f**k up your life.
#10 - Paraphrasing my father: When you're young, you slip and fall, then jump up to see if anyone saw you. When you get older, you just lay there and hope to hell they did!
#4 - the helicopter - is a scene from the movie "Escape From Witch Mountain".
ReplyDelete#3: Kinetic Energy + 1/2 x Mass x Velocity squared.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, a metric crap-ton.
#3 would've been funnier if she went through the window. #7..Karma's a bitch, ain't it?
ReplyDelete#10, unless your house slippers have built-in crampons, don't venture out on your steep ice covered driveway.
ReplyDeleteI did that trick in my daughter's driveway last January. And I don't even drink.
DeleteGlad nobody was around, but it must have been hilarious to watch.

ReplyDelete#6 - I'd usually say that's a shame. But betting it was ripple and the like, IDGAF.
ReplyDelete#10 - the dude is lucky - missed bashing the back of his head in by a fraction.
ReplyDelete#10 is a Monday!

ReplyDeleteI'm somewhere in between those ages now...
What's the story behind #2? I've watched it, but don't get the spill.

The videographer was walking backwards and not looking where he was going, then took a dunk in the cement pond.
DeleteThe camera operator volunteered for a baptism.
