I was driving a large truck down a street one wintry day when I espied what looked like a large snowball that had rolled into the lane. I thought I’d do the neighborly thing and bust it under my wheel.
It turned out to be a giant snow-covered rock, and my 4 tonne truck got at least 2 wheels in the air. Wound up completely off the road, on the same side, facing the opposite direction. Exciting.
At the time I thought “Thank flip there was no one around for me to hit”, but on reflection it might have been better if someone was around, because then I wouldn’t have tried it on in the first flippin place.

He was scooting across the ice like a dog with worms rubbing his ass on the carpet.

Where we live, that’s what we call entertainment.

Those can be semi-permanent injuries. It should really be avoided at all costs.

He needed a smooth talking wingman to break the ice.

In parts of the US, it’s traditional to shout “Hey Y’all! Watch this!” before attempting this sort of stunt.

Wife was at a party once where some guys decided to jump into the snow, naked, after a sauna. Trouble was, there had been freezing rain. One torn nutsack.

Plus there was a Lot more laughing from the guy who hurt his arse, and less falling over like he had seriously injured himself.

Might be less attractive, but we haven’t tried jumping into a frozen pool, which even without the fail would still be a really fail idea.

Can be quite dangerous for back injuries, but one good ice braking picture seems good addition: http://aadress.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/jaalohkuja1.jpg

On the brightside, while his tailbone took a beating, there were a pair of balls in his trunks grateful for the reprieve. Win-win.

Reminds me of a friend, who brilliantly decided to kick the head off a small snowman while passing a neighborhood front yard. He launched a running kick, the head didn’t budge, and he broke his foot. Cold, FTW!
