My moment of dumbness became about back in 1998 when me and my mates left school early to head off to a mates house to check out his new petrol remote control car....
anyways, I was one of two who didn't bring his bike that day so we got doubled, the other guy had back pegs to stand on while I had to sit on the handle bars of my friends mountain bike. So everything was cool until we got to the steep hill that had a sharp left hand turn at the bottom, he was keen to fly down it and I wasn't, so I lept from the handle bars half way down at speed and scrapped the shit out of my knees to the bone. My school trousers were bloody and torn, gravel burn on the palms of my hands. He managed to keep course and turned the corner without me. That wasn't the dumb part!
After I walked around the corner, he looked at my knees, sympathised with my pain for two seconds and told me to get back on to catch up with the others.
[dumbpart] After getting back on we had picked up a bit of speed on the straight space of road. Half way down at top speed he decided to do a no hander and tells me so. "Look no hands!" he says. I tell him to f**ken hold on to the f**ken bars, then he raises his hands and covers my eyes. The bike begins to death wobble and we lose control, me slamming into the road and snapping my wrist in the process while he spun out, landing metres away from me.[/dumbpart]
We lay there motionless in shock for a while before we looked up and realized what just had happened. My knees were now soaked in blood and my arm was numb, my radius sticking out like an erect clitoris on my forearm. All we could do is laugh. Our mates finally noticed that we were missing and we said to each other "lets play dead". they came over to us and freaked when they saw our mangled still bodies. They flagged down a van to borrow his mobile and an ambulance came to fix us up and off to hospital I went, ended up having to have surgery to snap my bone back into place.....
till this day i look back at this and think how dumb i was!
what dumb things have happened to you?
