omg death!
1) i was a lifeguard for a couple summers, and one summer they were putting in a wading pool, some how, while they were doing this, they broke a water main in the park. this meant no running water, and we can't legally open the pool without running water so we had to close the pool while they were woking on it. since there were no gross slimy kids in the pool we decided to go swimming. of course we dicided to do things we're not supposed to, like jumping off the guard stand and doing lots of 45s. well i went up after the guys had already been jumping off, i lost my footing and managed to fall off, almost breaking my leg and missing the edge of the cement by mere inches. my staff thought that i broke something and tried to backboard me. as funny as the memory is, it was quite a scary experience.

2) the night before my 19th birthday i went to a party with a bunch of old friends from h.s. that i hadn't seen since graduation. i probably had two beers all evening, but didn't really feel like drinking, so when i finally got tired of all the drunkards and was ready for bed, i climbed into my car and decided to go home. the drive home was one i've been making for about 4 years and only about 10 mintute to my house, however i was more tired than i thought and managed to fall asleep at the wheel and smash into a giant meatal pole. my air bags didn't deploy and my face smashed into the steering wheel. someone found me on the side of the road and drove me home. when i got home, my roomate let me fall asleep with a concussion. i'm lucky i woke up at all. needless to say, my car was totalled and i spent my birthday in bed going 'ow'...
