The scariest moment of your life

being stuck ontop of one of those machines that the use to go up high

they look like acordians, and it being at its highest and we tried to go down and went back and forth and it started to wobble
 
off the top of my head, probly almost getting busted at a party that got the cops got called on
 
when i was like 7 or so i was riding my bike with my brothers and there was a blind road crossing ( hard to explain but you couldnt stop before you crossed to look really) so they said it was clear to cross and i went and a van hit my front tire and like kind of slid my bike sideways and didnt knock me over but my tire was rubbing theres going about 55 mph for a few seconds until i could turn away. i was fine completely but right after i just stopped in the road and started crying like a baby because i realized that if i had gone another foot forward i would have been all over the windsheild.

also when my dad got caught in a whirlpool and we had to chain towels together to get him out, i was young then also so it didnt scare me as much but another guy died at the same place that day along with another girl injured and one or two more dead in that week.
 
probally we were traing super g( yes i ski race) and my friend comes down doing like 55ish adn just trys to hockey stop which is not smart, he ten flew like 15-20 feet in teh air and hit a shed that had4x6's on all corners and his shoulder hit it his helmet cracked and if he ahd hit his head on it he would havedied on impact but he ended up being knocked out for like the rest of the day, a broken femur,collerbone and wrist
 
we were sledding on the mountain my cabin is on, and my mom rode down with a little girl on her lap, and she realized that they were heading into the trees at the bottom, so she had to bail the girl off, and we just saw my mom go into the woods, so my dad yelled her name, and we didnt get a response until the third time he yelled it. I thought she died, she was fuckin tanking, you werent able to see it, but at this small spot at the top of her haed she stopped growing hair for like 6 months. We dont go sledding there anymore
 
i fell off the chairlift when i was 7 at lake louise, the liftie or the ski instructor didnt help me on so i started to slip, i fell 30 feet to ice, broke my leg, all i remember is hearing people gasp as i fell
 
when my dad randomly demanded to check my myspace and just barely skipped over a comment from my friend about toking earlier that day...
 
probably when i was walking around with friends at like 9 and we were rolling around in the middle of the street (i dont remember why... this was like 2 years ago) and a semi truck came onto the road and i was getting up but had my back to the truck and was like why'd everyone run off the road??? and i turned around and was really dizzy from rolling around and i saw the truck and tried to run off the road and tripped.... and i like crawled off the road about 2 seconds before the truck woulda hit me

or another time in 5th grade me and my friend were riding our bikes around and some car almost hit my friend so some huge guy leaned out of the window and was like "get your ass outta the road" so when they were driving away my friend flipped em off and right when he did their car just skidded and turned around and started coming back at us... and we started running away and the guys got out of the car and just walked into some random house.... i thought i was about to get my ass kicked by some huge dude
 
most of the time in life and death situations i get really calm and just deal with it, I dont have time to be scared I just react and after the fact its all adrenaline and relief not really fear. Um probably having a convicted murder yelling at my father that he is going to kill him and his family, (thus me) when he gets out and having to change my address on my drivers license etc, ummm or some random noise alone in the woods etc.
 
i dropped into a 6 ft wide chute that ran for about 70 ft and then just opened up to a nice little apron then the run was about 80 feet away. well i dropped in and straightlined did a little air over some rocks and was just fucking nuking. when the chute opened up all i could see was a huge compression dip that went up about 5 feet. light was flat and i couldnt see it. when i hit the compression when ski blew off and i was airborne upside down. i was flying over pow at first. then it turned to groom and thats when i thought oh fuck oh fuck. i was about 10 feet off the ground going like 40 mph upside down. i bounced on the groomer once and then was on the other side of the run back in the pow. i compressed my siatic nerve and thought i broke my back. no one screamed. or yelled. thats how bad it was. alll i heard was oh my god. then no one said anything else. ha ha
 
i was warming up for this little comp at my shit hill and just warmed up with a 3 on the first hit on like a 30 foot or so table. Although since my hills maitenance crew is stupid they made the kicker a lot bigger and with more kick to it then is required for the size it was. Anyways I go for the three, i go for the grab but my legs get crossed up and i couldnt get them uncrossed and because of the kicker i started to go corked and I just thought in my head, man this isn't going to turn out well. Anyways i ended up just landing perfectly on my side, perfect tranny and I was fine.

another time I was learning switch 3s with my new ar6s (get these detuned if u buy them) and the edges were really really hooky and I caught an edge when i started my rotation, my skis came off and the scary part was i was still spinning the 3 but i went into a bio. Again in my head I thought broken collerbone, or screw up my neck or something cuz i was going to land head first. Anyways turns out I just tucked up into a ball and landed pretty hard but not to bad with no injuries.

Both these stories probably arent my scariest moments of my lifes just the only "i'm going to get really hurt when I land" moments that i could remember.
 
When my dad got hit between the eyes with a golfball and was laying on the green with large amounts of blood spewing out
 
last December me and my friend got really really high of his bubbler. we seriously smoked for about 20 minutes straight. everything was going well. then someone pulled into his driveway while we were smoking. so nothing happened but it ended up scaring the shit out of me. so it put me in a bad mindset and i was so blazed. i started having a really bad trip. although i know you cant die from weed at the time i thought i could. my heart was racing so fast and it started to hurt. i though i was having a heart attack. my body wasn't working. i couldn't move my arms, legs, eyes, mouth, hands, or feet. i couldn't even blink. i was freaking out. i thought i was going to die. long story short if that car didn't pull up in his driveway i would have had a good night. you just got to go into everything with a good mindset and everything will be alright.

another time

when i was in africa, my family and i were hiking around in the brush. we ran into a huge ass cape buffalo. it started to charge at us. i thought we were dead. so i was about five feet away from the buffalo and it was full on charging at me with its horns directed right at me. it was about to gore me. but at the last second it turned around and ran off. i was so scared. if it continued running towards me i would be dead. i was about 11 at the time and about 80 lbs. i would have been so screwed. during that trip to africa i heard many storys about people dying from cape buffalo so that added to my fear. i was really lucky i wasn't killed by that buffalo.

 
either Heimliching my best friend when he was blue at sharis, or when some asshole sprayed whipped cream in my mouth when i was laughing and i choked on that and couldnt breath. it was only for about 20 seconds, but still scary as hell
 
yeah choking on shit is scary i almost had to get heimleched on a chairlift...but no one else was on it so i would have been fucked!^

and arent cape buffalo some of the most dangerous animals in the world? thats fucking sick dude.

 
yeah they are. before i arrived in africa, two of the workers on the ranch i was at were gored to death while they were napping under a tree
 
Well like about 2 years ago now, i was driving home with my dad and some of his friends from a snowmobile trip to canada...and we were driving through burlington after this huge fucking storm so the roads were soo bad. Any we were going in the slow lane because we had the trailer and all that jazzz and all of a sudden this lady just comes zooming past on the left in the snow covered fast lane. THen right as she passes us in her land rover all of a sudden i see the nose of her car pointing at the nose of our car...going 65 down 89 in the middle of a storm...

I looked out the front of th ecar and jsut see this lady looking at us and BOOM just goess off the side of the road and smashes into the huge rock walls that are there (you know the ones that have dinamite put through them so the road can go). Anyway I see this car just smash up the side of the rock wall and the traffic behind us just start to swerve and make a mess...

I thought we were going to die, but instead we just continue driving on our marry way home
 
this is the first year i have had my license. so this one time while i was driving to school, there was this huge traffic jam. i saw the brake lights so i started to slow down. however, the retarded lady next to me in the left hand lane did not see the brake lights and was still going about 70 mph about 30 ft before the traffic. i was going about 10 mph. so the lady flies by me and slams on her brakes. it just snowed and the roads were really icy. so the lady swerved towards my car almost hit me, then swerved back into her lane, then she overcorrected and flew back into the right lane missing my car by about 3 ft and the lady flew off the road. she might have died. fucking women driver.
 
the scariest moment of my life was at the end of a dream i had....i was sleeping on a small sheet of ice the size of a bed in some cold ocean in the night. i think in an earlier dream i was running from something that was trying to get me. i woke up in the dream from a friend's voice that yelled "HE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!!!" I scrambled awake and fell off the ice bed and dropped into the ice cold water and was too cold to swim and i just sank....i woke up for real and said "holy crap." that is all.
 
not THE scariest but last weekend at this huge party I spiller bear on this kid thats WAY bigger then me and he nearly delivered a knucklesandwitch
 
Naw, that was a guy who skies for Waterville. My fall wasn't recorded as far as I know. But yeah I was ... alright but couldn't ski really.
 
that sucks, if it was anything like the one in throback(now that i thnk about it, i belive it was Rupple) it was definatly somthing you want on tape
 
That shit just scares me. Fucking tornados. I used to watch waay to many of those strom chaser shows so now im kinda paranoid lol. Also one of my scariest moments was when I was almost struck by lightning. I was on one of those peddal boats on a small lake with my grandpa. It was one of those hot mugy days and it was overcast but there was no signs of a thunderstorm, we just had a quick rain shower. Then practically out of no where this fucking huge bolt of lightning strikes like 5 meters in front of us! Fucking scariest shit ever the loudest thundercrack I have ever heard!!
 
On Tignes glacier, right at the bottom where the ice ends theres a massive boulder field just below the bottom lift.

At the side of the piste it was just bare glacial ice and I slipped on it and just slid uncontrollably towards the rocks about 200-300m picking up mad speed on the way. Fortunately, near the bottom it just seemed to be a bit gripper and I managed to dig my super sharp race edges into it and carve off the ice. Thought I was gonna smash myself on all these rocks.
 
Yeah mine was that I hit the box, slipped back, overshot most of the landing sideways in the air, and hit face/shoulder first. The fall you saw in Throback was really nasty.
 
ahh when a cornice collapsed under my feat and made a huge slide with bolders the size of me, what made things worse was i was on my own and i was looking down this ofpeast run over the cornices edge to sea the conditions i stupidly dident take a snow layer sample and i completely dident expect the cornice to be the size it was. so i was just standing on it and there was no cracking sounds or anything it was so eery it went all silent then all of a suden it was like the sound if you where to chuk a hand full of flower at a wall like a kinda " poophhhh" sound next thing i no gravity had taken hold of me and i fall about to my armpits and i just managed to grab onto some solid snow and pull my self up i look down so see some rock face and some pointy rocks and a raver big slide, next day i went down with my mates and they were all like " wow that was a bit slide wonder what set it of "
 
went out of bounds at jay peak with my friend, it was my first time ever skiing there and there was 26 inches of pow, we lost eachother and i was by myself on the backside of jay near this tiny road where not one car drove down. i hike back up for 2 hours and got back on the carona trail, it was scarey shit
 
So I'm repelling down

Mount Vesuvius...

when suddenly I slip

and I start to fall.

I mean, I'm about to die.

Hot bread, Zeke.

I mean, I'm about to die.

Hot bread, Zeke.

Just falling...

I'll never forget the terror.

When suddenly I remember,

"Holy shit. Hansel...

haven't you been smoking peyote

for six straight days?

And couldn't some of this,

maybe, be in your mind??'

And?

It was. I was totally fine.

I've never even been

to Mount Vesuvius.

 
it was a friday night and me and my friend were smoking weed in the park. these cops saw us and started chasing us. they chased us for almost a mile when i jumped in someones backyard and they turned around. i was so fuckin scared.
 
probobly when i was 12 i jumped of my 20 foot greenhouse and when i landed in the snow and i looked over there was a 4 foot peice of metal reebar sticking out of the snow....I was speechless for like 2 minutes
 
Dumping a sport bike on the highway at about 80 bouncing off the guard rail and sliding down the shoulder on my back. Full helmet and riding clothes so i just jumped up after i stopped sliding and pushed the bike off the road, I twisted my ankle. Ya at least 80 cause i was over 100 mph as i braked and rode out of the turn.
