  9. One time I was playing in a basketball tournament and a guy fouled me and knocked me over and I hit my head on the ground. I made the shot then I got up and didn't know where I was. I started walking toward the bench but one of my teamates told me I had to shoot the free throw still. Then I drained the free throw for a three point play.

  14. One time I went to mankato on a snowboard trip and I went to hit this ramp and when I landed the back of my board hit a piece of ice when I came down and because of that was turned and ran into a tree face first

  15. I fell snowboarding and ended up riding in an ambulance to the ER. I fell directly on my tailbone and couldn't move my legs or back. When I got to the ER the Dr. said I probably broke my tailbone. I got xrays taken and I hadn't broken it but it felt like I had. I missed a week of school because I couldn't move. It was over a year ago and it still hurts to move.

  17. I had one of these moments when my uncle took me and my cousin luging down a hill near my grandmother's house and gave us skateboards to luge on. I got the skateboard without grip tape and loose axels so it would turn to sharply and my cousin recieved the board with griptape and didn't turn very much at all. Once we started going down the steep hill we gained a large ammount of momentum. My cousin ended up smashing into the rear of a parked SUV and was cut, scraped, and bruised intensely. As he hit the car he zoned out and just watched me as I swerved into a nearby driveway to try to run towards him. While I swerved my wheel caught on to a crack in the road and I was flung off my board. While I was being flung I kin of blacked out for a second. I do not remember what happened while I blacked out but I think my life maay have flashed before my eyes. Once I snapped out of it I noticed that my left leg was ripped up an bleeding. I then limped over to my cousin helped him up and got him on my uncle's bicycle. Then we went to my grandmothers house, my cousin on my unlce's bike and me attempting to skateboard while only really using one leg. Once we got home we got bandages all over and would never want to go to that hill again.

  25. One time during my sophmore year a person, i will not name who, drove his car on the bike trails near o'gorman going about 50 miles per hour. it had snowed days before so the path was slippery. The sides dropped off into the river. Thankfully his car did not slip off the trail.

  26. I was attempting a backflip on a swing at my mom's house. I didn't flip all the way and instead of letting go I gripped the side of the swing and saw the ground rushing towards me. I can't recall what I saw but when I hit the ground there was the flash of light and a huge cracking sound. When I opened my eyes I was trying to breath but it felt like I'd broken my lungs. Afterwards, when I was able to move I couldn't bend backwards, run, or turn at all because my back hurt immensely.

  28. Their was a time in my life that "flashed before my eyes" was when, my parents was showing my brother how to drive. One day my mom showed my brother how to back up, what my brother did was instead of using one foot he used both feet & steped on the gas instead of the brake. He took out our neighbors fence across the street & almost ran over my mom but, both of them were fine.

  62. One day like, two summers ago? me and my two friends, katie and steven, decided to ride four wheelers. Me and katie were on one four wheeler and steven was driving a gokart. We were riding next to each other but then katie and i decided to turn around and see how long it'd take stevo to notice. After we had been going the other way for awhile we realized that he hadn't noticed, so we turned back around. Then, he turned around so we were now driving towards each other. We were getting really close and katie took the handle bars and was in control. We were playing chicken and we both thought the other was going to turn and back out. However, since we were all thinking the same thing, no one turned until the very last second. Steven tried to swerve out of the way but we were on gravel so he couldn't steer as smoothly. We ended up colliding and Katie and I flipped and landed hard on the gravel. We all got concussions because we didn't have helmets on and were really really out of it. Both the gokart and four wheeler were totaled. ): but we're all good now, and got a new four wheeler ! (:

  64. !!!WEAR A HELMET WHEN YOU RIDE HORSES!!!!
    Very scarey
    I had this happen one time and if I think about it I still get goosebumps and can see it very clearly. Anyways I was riding a gelding(male horse) of mine, Dakota. I was practicing seat and leg control and I didn't have stirrups or reins. He spooked at something and reared straight up. By doing this he lost his balance and fell over backwards on top of me.All I can remember is reaching upwards to grab on and not being able to grab any mane and I remember seeing the black of his neck coming down with myself. At this point I thought I was dead and had this,"flashing" moment. Ended up he came completly on top of me and I had a serious concussion and fractured two ribs. Broke three of my toes and had some bruising in my stomach.

  65. a while ago, i was at my friends house and we were on 4-wheelers, goofing off. We decided to go on the course behind her house, but she warned me that her brother had just gotten back from hunting and was skinning his kill. it went fine until we went around the final turn and the carcass fell ontop of me(it had been hanging in the trees) and I hit a sycamore trees, and cracked two ribs, bruised my stomach, and bruised my collar bone
