Stupid Things You've Done

Jumping out of a moving car.

We were at a festival, we had decided to go & play rounders (similar to softball). About 8 of us squeezed into one car, in varying states of sobriety. We were within the actual campsite rather than on the open road.

I was squidged up against the door, and as we bumped over the field I wondered if we were going slowly enough for me to open the door and fall out without hurting myself. I really did think it through, and decided the car was going as slowly as the buses & trains I had stepped off in the past.

What I didn't consider was that I would not be springing out in a forward motion and landing on my feet. Instead I fell out backwards and there was bumping and rolling involved. I ended up losing quite a bit of skin - just grazing, but difficult to keep clean when camping. Oh and some spectacular bruises.

Even now I am puzzled as to why I thought it was a good idea.

Standard category, "Seemed Like a Good Idea At The Time".
We all have some in that category.
