Re: For a bet....?
I once agreed to jump over a huge brook for a bet. I managed to land on the other side without getting wet, however I landed with one leg twisted and I kneed myself in the face with the other.
Had a nasty fracture but they thought I was joking so they all left me and I had to walk from ossy to accy on it, took about 9hrs. Went to the hospital the next day as I was too stubborn to ring an ambulance and I had a potted leg for 6weeks and gained the nickname hopalong.
Funny looking back at it though. The bad thing was that it was just a bet for no reward, so I gained absolutely nothing!
