About two years ago
I accidentally skiied over the edge of a gully in a whiteout and came within 10ft of almost certain death in the form of an icy and rocky stream.

There have been dozens of power kiting near misses, but no particularly funny ones.

Edit: Actually, that's not true. Sometime the summer before last I was doing some tandem buggying - I was in the front kite buggy with another one strapped behind it. I flipped the front buggy during a particularly ill-advised manouever and got dragged for about 50m on my front, shredding my arm in the process. The funny bit was when someone came to get me out - because I was strapped in, they had to lift me and the buggy off the ground so I could pull the release line. Unfortunately, I had shifted while being dragged so that one of my testicles was trapped under the seatbelt. This fact was brought home with some force when the buggy was lifted up...

Yeah
I did my knee in when I crashed at the bottom. I didn't have to go up the mountain, fortunately (I'm really not sure I could have) but I had a long slog through deep snow to the lift and back over two other hills with only one fully working leg.
