Bluffboy says: My mate cheated death and burned his eyebrows off looking down the barrel of a potato gun. Tell us about your brushes with the Grim Reaper through stupidity.

Look no hands!
As a kid, living on an Army camp was probably the best, and most dangerous place to be.

During the school holidays we used to get dragged off to take part in activities like rock climbing, canoe camping and shooting... all that kind of stuff.

While rock climbing, and perched on a millimeter wide ledge, our instructor informed us that under no circumstances should we let go of the rope around the caribiner thingy when we descended, as we would fall to a certain death.

I let go of mine to see what would happen. Actually nothing at all happened at all, except the instructor said I was possibly the stupidest kid he'd ever met. For some reason, I felt quite proud.
