» Ignoring Instructions
Jackass
The first thing I said after this incident, beside laughing until I cried for about half an hour, was 'Those instructions are there for a reason.'
I was watching Jackass Season 1 on DVD with my friend Megan. We got to the part where Bam and co. jump on a treadmill going a full speed. Being a smartass, I told her I could easily do what they were doing.
I promptly turned on our brand-new treadmill to a speed of 10, standing wit feet on either side of it. I experimentally placed a foot on the mat, which led my leg to be yanked backwards. I giggled, and jumped right on.
The difference between my treadmill and the one on Jackass was that there's was positioned about 5 feet away from a wall. Mine was nearly backed up to a small end-table with cabinet doors. I also neglected to put on the safety tag, which attaches to your pants or belt and when it is pulled from the machine stops the mat.
When I jumped on, I immediately fell, laughing hysterically, my foot going through one of the cabinet doors, and I was lying down on the mat, arms held out in front of me in a feeble effort to stop it.
My faithful sidekick Megan pulled out the tag, and we both sat there laughing for 10 minutes. I sustained a nasty burn on both arms, and the cabinet door of the end-table was broken.
I went into the kitchen to tell my mom that I had tripped on a stool in the living room and gotten rug burn. She helped me to bandage myself, while Megan hid in the living room practically sobbing with laughter.
We then barely repaired the cabinet door, while my mom was in the next room getting drunk and playing mahjong.
I have scars on both my arms now, but it was so worth it.
