OMG There are many levels of scary in that scenario.


1) Doing a hoist from a helicopter to a sailboat is a nightmare because of all the lines to the mast

2) I had the door still open (with a strap going across the opening) and the husband got out of his seat to see what was going on when I started to prep his wife for delivery. I never gave him a headset when I strapped him in his seat but did the second time

3) My first time having to deliver a babygrin

That baby is now somewhere in her late 20's

I hope you weren't badly injured?




You'd think that I was, from the looks of the dude's car - he couldn't even drive it - had to have it towed... but no, surprisingly, I was not seriously injured.

Recently when I was living in the middle east I was visiting with some friends at a apartment complex...I went out to grab some arabic sweets and bread and shortly returned to enjoy the night with their family....
I stupidly forgot which door and barged through what I thought was the correct apartment, only to be faced with about fourteen arabic men sitting in a circle on the floor with more artillery in the middle of them than a small platoon....there was everything from grenades to huge machine guns...
They all just stared at me and I froze...
I did the only thing I could think of that was slightly wise. I turned and calmly walked out of there and kept walking down the street. I was more worried for the friends living in the complex so I just kept going...
The next day when I walked from the Saudi national bank, a german man was shot five paces near for no known reason...if that was menat for me or a warning...well I will never know...

When I worked in Palestine I had to drag a couple of boys that had been shot to safety..We were 20 seconds short of being blown up by a car bomb...

It breaks my heart now to be living in a country that suffers little for people to take their lives for granted....

My most memorable Scary moment....Jesus want a listrolling on the floor laughing
Ive been in 3 wars so them...

I was terrified when i came home from the Falklands war and when I got to the Street where I lived, my mom had flags out and all my relatives and friends were in the house waiting for me.
I never went in... I turned round and went to a local bar myself then called my Dad and told him. He told the guests that I wouldn't be home til the next day.. and then met me in the bar, while not telling my mom either.
A few hrs later i went home. My moms face was a picture..... I Guess I just wanted to be with my own family

Zarah, I've seen the same crap in the US. I worked with a guy who was a gun nut and told the cops bad things were about to happen.

I could go into details and it doesn't matter. People died. The Da's office and reporters bugged me. I've seen enough over the past 20 years, I'm happy to go to jail.

That was my last choice. Rape, or jail. Well considering it was a police chief, it was consent to his deal, or jail. I chose jail, thanks!

After the past 25 years, I need to meet a decent guy. I don't know what it is about me that screams, "Use me, beat me, abuse me, Please!" But I've had to talk my way out, fight and opt for jail to keep from killing the last SOB. If another tries it, I'm gonna kill him. I have been molested, I've been beat, I've damned near died and I was willing to go to jail to maintain some integrity. What's a woman's life worth in the US? Not much.

I feel for you hon...after seeing so much it is hard to relate on a even keel again..You appear numb on the outside but inside you are screaming out. I prefer my own company alot nowadays. I am living in a real world here that has become surreal. People put themselves in invisible cages here and gladly hand over the keys to their gatekeepers. You have to stay strong, aware and never stop fighting....I fight for others lives, the people that don't have the ability to find their own strength and from that I gain more than they do...Its hard to be a broke ass doctor when the rest are eating caviar while I eat shit......But I sleep well...........Time is always on your side.

Yup! I saw the red light flashing about 30 inches off of the ground, I could see the body of the craft and four landing gear on the ground. I was about 25 feet from the craft. I screamed bloody murder for my parents who were next door playing cards.

Well! When your are six and watch Twilight zone all the time. A wet dining room table in the back yard reflecting the red light from the water tower can look like a space craft...in the dark.blushing I scared myself!

my horror story took place in the sky. I was having trouble deploying my main chute. I tumbled and when I did this, my main chute came out and the lines wrapped around my neck. I took a 120 mph stop with my neck. As this happened, I went to emergency procedure. and deployed my reserve. It was not a good idea. Now I have two parachutes out ,fighting each other for control. As all of this was happening, I was starting to pass out because the main chute lines were still around my neck and my weight was suspended by my neck and head. At roughly 200 feet, my reserve chute won control. and spun me into the ground. During that last 200 feet, I simply gave in to the blackness that was begging me to accept. I guess when I hit, I was like the drunk in the car wreck that just bounces.
I woke up on the way to the hospital. I was quite happy to be alive and not have a broken neck. I had several line burns across my face and neck and my head swelled so much that I looked like I weighed a 1000 pounds. I actually had jowls.
That of course was several thousand jumps ago, so I guess it did not change my mind about jumping.
This was not a good day for my wife either,as she was with me in the air. There was nothing she could do but watch.
I also have a plane crash that wasn't a whole lot of fun either.
What can I say? Eat- Feck- Skydive !
Just an old saying.
