When I was 12 I went up the Stratosphere with my parents. The windows up there angle out so you can see straight down. I got on my hands and knees so I could look straight down. My mom came up behind me and slightly push me forward. For a split second I had the feeling that I was going over. I turned white as a ghost and shut down. I still don't like heights and I very easily get the feeling that I could lose my balance when I'm up high, like in the upper deck of a stadium.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

I stopped by to drink at a friend's place on Sunday night. He was sober, but he wanted to show me his new gun. I shouldered it and gave my approval before handing it back to him. He then gave it to a stupid, semi-drunk girl who pointed the AR-15 at me and my friend's chests. We freaked and another guy took the gun from her. I wouldn't have thought about it again, but the third guy cycled the action and a bullet popped out.

That's your own rough ridin' fault for not clearing it before it was handed to you, dumbass.

i guess i gave the guy who handed a rifle to a man he'd just witnessed slam 6 pounders a bit too much credit. i apologize to all gE gunnuts.

I guess in hindsight it's not surprising that the traumatic event thread would turn into a bunch of borderline molestation accounts.  Getting molested is typically quite traumatic.

This isn't traumatic for me, but my girlfriend's best friend's dad was just arrested on several counts of possession and distribution of child pornography.  They're a little freaked out.

He went straight through the back windshield.

can the back window of an auto be called a windshield when it doesn't really block much wind?  :dunno:

I just got stuck in an elevator for ten minutes and had to be rescued by maintenance crews and building security.  I'm pretty shook up over here, but luckily my ordeal is over. What traumatic things have you all experienced? Obviously none of them can compare to what I just went through.

I call bullshit on this "story". Garden City doesn't have buildings with elevators.

If you've never had a testicle torsion that required emergency surgery or you would lose your nut you can GTFOOMF with your "traumatic" story.

When young and in Mississippi on vacation, was walking along the yacht club breakwater(large rocks put out around area that guards the marina from waves) was looking down as I walked because it is more like hopping from large ass rock to large ass rock.  Anyway, happened to look up and approx 10' in front of me was a 10' alligator just hanging out on the rocks watching me.  Animal control said that when they get a bunch of rain sometimes they make their way to the bay from the bayous.

Scary as eff.

Last year when I first moved to Iowa (for my position following my post-doc at Auburn University), I was driving north on I-35 toward my home from hanging out with friends at a casino.  It was late (around 2 to 3am).  There wasn't anyone on the road.  In the distance I saw some head lights.  Something was off.  As I get closer to the oncoming headlights, I realize they are heading southbound in the northbound lanes.  I slammed on my brakes and pulled off the road just in time to avoid a head on collision.  Shaken up, I drove home.  I don't know if anyone was hurt down the road, but to this day I don't drive on the interstate past midnight.

Nope.  At first, thought it wasn't real. It didn't move at all.  So, I backed up a couple feet and threw a rock at it.  Hit it right on the nose and it kinda flipped out and opened its jaws all the way.  Needless to say I crapped my pants and ran away.  Animal control came and couldn't get control of it.  It got away and could be seen swimming around off the beach for the next few days.

A number:

I was almost run over as a child.   Did the right thing at a cross walk that had old timey lights that didn't overhang the road.   Truck pulled up and the next lane didn't see the light, almost get nailed by a caddy, still shudder thinking about it today.

Driving to a meeting a few years ago headed down a 4 lane U.S. highway, some idiot pulled right out in front of me, had to do some serious driving to keep from T-Boneing them at 60 MPH.   Had to pull over and gather myself for a bit.

Stopped at a stop light on a busy road, around here you've got to keep your eyes on the rear view mirror because the road system is 20 years behind and way over crowded and people don't pay attention.   I could see a big ass Toyota Tundra pickup truck barreling down on me and I had no where to go as there were cars stopped on my left, and cars coming into a turn lane on the right.   So I started pumping my breaks and hit the emergency flashers, thankfully the guy looked up from messing around with his effing GPS just in time and swerved and just clipped the back side of my car.    When stopped at a light around here I have my eyes in the rear view the whole time if there's no one stopped behind me.   Plus this is the land of the giant pickup and SUV with every freaking soccer mom and redneck running around in giant effing SUV's that they can barely climb into and every compensating white guy around here apparently needs a giant 4x4 extended cab pickup.

Couldn't freaking agree more.  These toothless hillbillies living in their mold shantes do three things on the weekends: 1) Drink heavily then cow tip, 2) drive drunk, 3) Look for something to fornicate with (pig, sister, cow, cousin).
