Hmm, most memorable things so far are just some major, cartoon-like wipeouts.

1.)?ÿ Early morning in December topoing part of an apartment complex parking lot.?ÿ The lot had railroad ties lying around the edge of it except where a trash enclosure sat.?ÿ I shot the back corners of the enclosure and came walking, quickly, around the front corner of it.?ÿ A thin layer of frost was on the ties which made them ridiculously slick.?ÿ I stepped on one while rounding the enclosure corner and next thing I knew I was horizontal a few feet off the ground.?ÿ Body slammed the asphalt and I remember being like wooooow, what the hell just happened.?ÿ Had a pineapple sized bruise on my hip and upper thigh for weeks.?ÿ Not sure if anyone saw me but if they did hopefully they got it on tape and put it on youtube.

2.)?ÿ Other one happened to a coworker when we were tying section corners up in the mountains.?ÿ We came to one that had some logs lying around it.?ÿ My coworker stepped on one and it rolled out from under him like it was a greased pig.?ÿ His feet flew up in the air and he too was basically horizontal before body slamming the ground with his back.?ÿ The whole thing seemed to happen in slow motion and it was honestly kind of funny to watch, but I did feel bad for him too.
