To add a random story of y own...
My mates dad and a friend were once driving home very drunkly and recklessly on a motorbike. Given that they were careening all over the place its not surprising that before long they noticed suspicious blue flashing lights behind them.

As they were tripping their nuts off on LSD, it was decided that the best course would be to outrun their pursuers, dump the bike and walk home, to return for the bike in the morning.

So the guy speeds up as quickly as he can so they can lose the tail on the otherside of the large hill coming up.

-----------the next day------------

Both guys wake up in a confused heap in some weed clog ditch several meters from the road. They are bruised, sore and hungover but have no recollection of how they got there, so they assumed they had been walking home ad fallen asleep. They headed back to the pub to find the guys motorcycle, but it was missing. So he phones the police to report it stolen.

He goes in to the station and picks the bike up - they have it - and asks them where they found it. Apparently, they were pursuing the criminals on the stolen bike, which was then found several hundred meters down the road the other side of that large hill, with no sign of the riders.

Yep; thats right, somehow on going over the crest of the hill at top speed, they had been catapulted off the bike and into the trees where they lay unconscious and undiscovered til the morning. The bike had kept going for some distance before falling over in the road.

And they got away scott free.

EDIT: still not as stupid as accidentally jumping off a cliff though!
