Some interesting things happen to people on this planet: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/may/04/i-was-swallowed-by-a-hippo Can anyone beat that?
As as youngster I got my foot caught in the wheel of my dad's bike while he was giving me a 'crossbar'. We were going downhill and he couldn't stop quick enough so my foot and lower leg were shred to ribbons right down to the bone. Luckily they managed to save my foot but needless to say I still have the scars. You can only imagine what my Mum said to my Dad ! Not quite as incredible as the story in the Op, but it was a pretty gruesome sight.
Wouldn't think so, he didn't mention ****ting himself....I would have done! I walked away from a plane crash in Seattle and was in the middle of an earthquake in California, not even close the Hippo man!
I was arrested for indecent exposure in Libya. I was wearing a singlet so my shoulders were bare. And i am male.
I was quite young, 6-7 I believe when visiting family friends in Switzerland. I took a tumble near the edge of a rather high drop in the mountains, rolled to and over the edge to get saved by bamble bushes.................and I was wearing shorts! Painful but still alive. Bah!
I will never again be able to face a Cadbury's cream egg without thinking of this! I LOVE Cadbury's cream eggs!
