Harksaw 0 #26 November 5, 2003 First week back from college for Christmas vacation freshman year, I hadn't been in a car for about four or five months. I was getting gas and I couldn't understand the accent of the guy telling me to pull up foreward, so I put my head out the window to hear better. The window was halfway up and I hit my eye socket on the top edge of it. Maan that hurt and I looked stupid.__________________________________________________ I started skydiving for the money and the chicks. Oh, wait.

jerry81 10 #28 November 5, 2003 This happened two months ago at the Mondial. After getting piss-drunk at the Icarius party (free drinks, who could blame us), having a photo session in one of the Porters they left around (not to mention the PC12 someone left unlocked) and making a total mess in out team tent, we decide it's time to go home. Four of us get into my car (in my defense, I had been drinking nothing but orange juice for the last two hours, our camp was less than a mile away and you rarely met a car on the shortcut we found, night or day), the others get into the van. We just about take off, when the drunkest of us all stumbles from the van and climbs onto the hood of my car. I drive off very slowly and then suddenly slam the brakes, hoping he'll roll off and decide it was a bad idea, but he holds on without a problem and then decides to sit on the roof instead. (Which is just rubber-coated fabric, as my car is one of those half-cabrio models that open at the top like a can of fish.) I eye the roof with suspicion as it creaks and stretches, but the decide it will apparently hold and off we drive, the four of us in the car howling with laughter and the guy on the roof yelling obscenities at more sober people staring at us in disbelief (luckily noone understood a word). The mile-long drive home is one of the stupidest, yet at the same time funniest things I've done in my life. Soon after we leave the dropzone, my friend on the roof leans down over the edge, reaches through the open window, grabs my head and starts shaking it vigorously, all the time yelling at me to drive faster. Laughing, but somehow still aware of the severity of the situation, I manage to keep us on the road while I beat his hands off me, which leads to him falling from the roof down to the hood again and splaying himself across the windshield. I am now driving with my head out the window and the guy blocking my view is getting soaked with windshield-cleaning liquid (my first reaction when he rolled down was, of course, to spray him). On one longer straight stretch of road we almost hit 50mph, and I open the roof to tell the fifth passenger he should hang on. He is sitting on the edge of the now open roof and does not understand a word I'm saying, but it doesn't really matter because right then we go over a speed bump and he falls over into the car with all the grace of a bag of potatoes and wedges his head firmly somewhere between the front and the back seats. His legs are now sticking out the roof and his ass is in a position that makes my steering and shifting gears a lot harder than before. (Actually, we almost hit a fence at that point because it was impossible to steer right without first pushing his bum out of the way). From then on our journey is quite uneventful, with the upside-down guy yelling out that he's stuck every ten seconds or so, and the other four of us giggling helplessly all the way to our camp. What we did there is another story altogether and qualifies more for the "regular" drunk stories, because the levels of stupidity never really reached those achieved on our little drive home. Oh yeah, and next morning; "Hey ***, do you remember how you got back last night?" Him: "Uh, we walked, didn't we?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jlmiracle 7 #31 November 5, 2003 I saw a girl get caught between the RR crossing arms and instead of pulling forward, she backed up having to make some very tight turns.

bean 0 #32 November 5, 2003 Saw a girl hit a beer truck on landing once..... Don't think qualifies as alcohol related but was pretty stupid... BEWARE the Red Headed Van Slammer!!! Mmmmm.... I allegedly might know someone who stole a rental car at Z-hills for a night of bar hopping and high speed puddle hydroplaning tests.... Lastly, glad I didn't drag my best friend's tent into the road with a golf cart at WFFC and leave his passed out ass there to get hit by the same car twice!?! -THAT would be stooooopid!!! ***Go big or go home!! (if you go big enough ya get to ride in the white van with the spinny thing on the roof and run red lights!!!!)

Snowwhite 0 #33 November 5, 2003 A guy turned the corner at a high rate of speed, ran into a parked car, which pushed it into a parked car, pushing it into a THIRD parked car. We all ran out side to see what was going on. When the cops got there, the driver swore all three cars BACKED into him. Yes, alcohol was involved.skydiveTaylorville.org freefallbeth@yahoo.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #41 November 6, 2003 Hmm... other stupid skydiving stuff. Trying to build an 8-way speed star off the helicopter. We only got 6 in. I have seen several people try to hook into a hangar with varying degrees of success. Trying to carve around objects seems to meet with disaster pretty often. I have seen unsuccessful attempts around hangars, concrete bunkers, mockups, trees, vans, campers, buses, cars, and the beer truck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeetFlyer 0 #42 November 6, 2003 an excibitionjump where I was supposed to land in a relatively small area surrounded by audience. The winds had changed from when when we checked the area to when we jumped... I didn't change my landingdirection (stressed, didn't see the flag properly) and did a highspeedlanding straight into the audience. I managed to slam into the ground a couple of feets before the audience by puposely doing a hard toggleturn which made the speed decrease a little. But I still bounced into the crowd shoveling people left and right. Noone but me got hurt (no broken bones) but it took a couple of months until I had decided wether I should jump or not again and it also took quite a few jumps until I could feel the joy of skydiving again. <> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
