BF2S Forums I almost died yesterday..

my dad has tons of these stories. Once some asian lady turned right into him and threw him like 30 feet.

Lorry? Hit you at 10-20kmh? Wait you mean a fat chick was jogging in the park, and she didn't see you and rammed into you, throwing you back into the tarmac? And her name was Lorry right?

yes, seems like you almost died.

You think for someone who seems to constantly wait for people to make a new topic and get the first post, that you would just capitalize the first letter of your sentence... I don't know why, but it annoys me.

Don't get me wrong, you make me laugh every now and again, but just try.

And also I've almost died on my bike once, I biked into a street thinking it was clear and out of no where a car comes speeding towards me. Me and her pressed the brakes fast enough not to collide but I ended up pressing my front brake because my back brake was broken and did an endo on my bike infront of alot of people (this was downtown in my city) and fell on my back. I picked up my bike in some pain and biked away like it didnt happen.

I was once speeding along the sidewalk on my bike (biking on the road here is suicide, since cars don't pay ANY attention to you AT ALL) and out from a parking lot comes a car, checking if it's clear to make a right into the road, he stops with his front end on the sidewalk.

Collision was inevitable, and I cycled right into his front wheel, which sent me flying over his hood.

I was a little bit sore and had a few bruises, but I was ok.

And there's plenty of those in Singapore I'd imagine unless people can't afford cars there.

Yeah I've been hit while on a bike. This was quite a few years ago and the car was travelling 50km/h. I did a wicked flip and landed in a kind of kneeling position with one band on the road. Problem was the impact fucked my wrist up something chronic but the important this is it looked cool.

Hope you were wearing a helmet.

Came off a 5 ft drop or so once, missed one tree, missed the other, didn't manage to avoid the ditch covered in brush. I thought beforehand I didn't like the landing. Ass over teakettle. Edit: I just remembered my friend got this on video. From his perspective he thought it was a huge crash and thought I broke something.

Trying to ride a skinny above a dirt hill, front tire slipped off and got locked behind one of the rock supports for the log I was on. Ass over teakettle and a few feet down the hill.

When I was a lot younger I came around a turn going a bit too fast and hit a parked car head on. I guess I wasn't even big enough to set off the alarm or air bags or anything. However, I hit hard enough to flip off the front of the car and land on my back a few feet away.

Riding home from school on a less-then-dry day, I tried to ride around someone towards the end of a driveway, but the sidewalk curved and I managed to ride in to the tree/flowerbox area between the sidewalk and road. I got the front tire out, and I still don't know how this happened, but the front tire ended up in the flowerbox on the other side of the sidewalk so there I was skidding down the sidewalk sideways until I flipped over the side. Hairline fracture in my elbow from that.

Riding along the sidewalk I hit the brakes to stop before the intersection but unbeknown to me rode over a wet metal cover in the ground. It was a small plate so I couldn't get off the brakes before I wound up back on cement where I proceeded to go over the bars. This has happened twice in different spots. One was after I got back from a lot of rock climbing so I was tired and couldn't really feel a thing.

Not a crash but as I was cutting across one of the busiest streets in town my rear tire blew and the innertube ended up wrapped around the rear cassette by the time the bike was stopped. So, there I was in the middle of the street with cars everywhere trying to find a time to sprint across a busy road with a 30-35 lb bike. No crash, but very awkward none the less.

Those are all I can think of right now. Apart from the elbow I just walk away a bit sore and possibly scratched. I guess I'm just good at tuck-and-rolling.

Did something like that once, was riding my bike to a park and had to make a turn, wasnt thinking so I just turned and rode across 4 lanes of traffic. Not sure if there was any cars, was listening to my iPod so I didnt hear anything.

When I got the the park(it was a place you could go mountain biking), I then managed to hit a tree and fuck up my bike pretty bad. I wasnt hit though...

was cycling and i came past this carpark, this mini lorry suddenly turned out from nowhere and hit me at 10-20kmh. Fell off my bike, hit my head on the tarmac, but its fine now. Had a few bruises here and there.

What can I say, it happens. Good to hear that you're OK.

I've got hitten by a car also when riding a bike, slid over the hood and landed on my chin on the tarmac (4 stiches, that's all). I've increased my odds by being the motorist nowadays.

..although, that certainly doesn't keep me safe from harm.

I was driving home last sunday evening after spending a great day with the potential Mrs. Fck (about a 100 miles from my place). Minding my own business, driving a nice 70mph, listening to Radiohead and smoking the occasional cigarette on an almost open road, something happened. In a gentle left curve, a camper coming towards me decided not to steer, and drifted right into my lane, his headlights in my face. Had I not been attentive, I could have lost my life (70 + 60 = 130mph crash), but managed to evade the guy by steering quickly via the shoulder. I remember seeing the face of the guy in the camper (Yes, he came that close), and he looked determined, like he wanted to commit suicide or something. I had just read of this guy that drove right into the path of a truck, with the intention to kill himself (and obviously succeeding).

I saw the camper sway like hell in my rearview mirror when he got back his lane. Scared the shit out of me.

Good thing I was still in an adrenaline rush, because maybe 10 minutes after that, a deer jumped in my path. I turned on the long beams and bam, there it was. Dammit bambi. Well, didn't hit the deer either.

Long distance dating will kill ya.
