I've rolled flipped and crashed atvs and go karts and lawn mowers . But I had the most painful experience yesterday riding with my uncle and nephew . Told them to go ahead of me while I air up my tires . After a few minutes I head there way driving though a mike or so of trail I cut on our property I get to a cross in the path looking down trying to figure out which way they went I ease alon at about 8mph puttung along it happens. A piece of wood flips up and catches my left foot at the shifter and folds I'd under the foot peg. I lay over the handle bars and hold back the tears as it feels like I snapped my foot in half . After a while I head back shifting with my hand and make it home. My grandmother is there and we look at it looks like I might have cracked or broken my big toe and part of the ball of my foot. Lol and all from a limb bout 4in in dia. But I'm good just gonna keep an eye on it to see if it gets better.

Anyone else have a bad experience with debri chime in I want to hear. Hopefully I'm not the only stupid on in the world lol.

I turned 90 degrees to the right, going full speed, flipped a golf kart that had big off-road bubble tires.

On asphalt.

Felt like a movie. I look up and I see the kart above me, upside down. It's flying towards my head, but misses. Landing on it's wheels, bouncing around a little bit. Bent it up pretty badly.

Idk if people have turtle holes where they live... but sometimes they are huge, and around here made out of sand. so driving onto one or over one they always sink in... so far I've run into 2 of them on a motorcycle. holy crap the front just dives down into it, and STOPS. good way to bend forks. ;)

Riding on the back of an atv (one of the race type ones) with my brother. Full bore, top speed. Hit half a fence post, maybe 3 feet high, tall grass all around, couldn't see it. He flipped over the handle bars, lucky.

I on the other hand went flying, he said I was maybe 30 feet high, landed on my head, straight down on my head. Cracked the helmet. I woke up the next day in the hospital. This was 5 years after I got a plate in my head from a motorcycle accident, another story, peeled back my scalp, ground some skull off, fun stuff.

Doc said the plate probably saved my life as the skull around it had cracked. It I didnt have a plate my head would probably be flat lol.

Anyways, cant see the scars now, and Im no worse for wear, so all is good lol.

When I was a kid one summer I hit the same tree in the trails I used to ride on 3 separate times with my ct70h Honda Mini-Trail. Bent the frame like a banana, changed the frame 3 times (I had many spares). After the third time I finally went out and cut that tree down even with the ground and burned it. You know after that I never hit that tree again. ;) As a kid and an adult I do a lot of stupid stuff.
