i remembered two more times. when i was a kid i was quite some distance from a stump being dynamited and the ground was wet. well the whole ground lifted with the stump and when the ground went back down the stump and a ton of log sized roots came flying out. and a 6 footer landed mere feet from me. probably about 100 yds it flew. I was standing near the back corner of the farm house.

the other time was when i was a kid and we would sled tied to the back of a old suburban. well this tiem my dad took a truck hood and chained it to the back of the suburban and it was way too long. so after me and my 12 year old older brother had been riding for a while my dad has my brother drive. we go across the field once and in the corner my brother cuts it too much and the chain goes slack and crosses back on to the hood my dad yells run but get caught in the chain and takes off getting drug like in a western. my brother takes him a ways off and turns around and is giving me the most curious look as im waving my arms around. dad came out only really sore for a while.
