life or death?

[peeledorange]

Well, I almost died today. I am at my grandmothers house in bum-fuck Kentucky where there is nothing to do, but four-wheel. That's where you get on an All Terrain Vehicle, and go up really scary hills, that no one in their right mind would think about doing. So, my dad decides to take my sisters fiance, pierce, and I to a really (should be fun) area called, Simpsons Branch. We sneak behing a gate, and look at our first hill. A hill that is almost strait up, and if you go to one side your four wheeler will start to slip. I thought he took us here to scare Pierce, but no, he really wanted us to do this. I have been four-wheeling since I was 7, but I have only been driving since this summer. I had also been up some other scary hills, but this time I was on the four-wheeler that only had two wheel drive. Yes, a four-wheeler with two wheel drive (it's ghetto, I know). We had to give pierce the good one since he is inexperienced. We go up this first hill. I make it. THen the second hill. I'm fine. THen the third hill. No problem. THen I tell me dad I want to go back, because I was already scared. He thinks it's fine. This whole time I had been the first one going up the hill. So, I tell them I have to pee. My dad says, "Well, we are gonna go on ahead you'll be fine up this hill." So, they leave, and I become one with nature. I jump back on the four-wheeler and prepare to go up the last hill to be at the top. This isn't even the worst hill out of the four. I head up it, and get more than half way up, and the stupid four-wheeler won't go any further. So, the rule is, break, and ease back down the hill, and try again. Well, also the breaks on this four wheeler suck. It won't break and I am picking up speed, then I do the stupidest thing ever...I PRESS THE GAS. Anybody that knows four-wheelers and hills knows that at a 75 degree angle if you press the gas in first gear going backwards, the four wheeler is going to flip. So, the next part is all in slow-mo. the four-wheeler rears back like a horse and i fall off the back. Then, I look up, scream, and realize that the four wheeler isn't falling forward it is coming right back AT ME. So, i think "I should probably roll out of the way." So, I do a quick roll, and my leg is under the four-wheeler. I freak out thinking it had crushed my leg, then i realize it was in the perfect nook not to get hurt.
The wierdest thing was when the four wheeler was strait up in the air it kind of hovered there like something was holding it.
I didn't get really hurt, but my back is in pretty bad pain, and I have given up smoking.
