[QUOTE="david k., post: 5279426, member: 10555"] I have one more story that I would't say was scary because it happened so fast, but I know we were lucky it didn't turn out worse. I'll preface this by saying I love my son and honestly NEVER tried to kill him in his youth!!! LOL!!! This was almost 20 years ago and he was about 7 or 8 and we were just going to go for an afternoon of fishing on the Little Hatchie Creek which borders our families land. We unloaded the 4 wheeler and headed towards the creek...he was sitting in front of me and I was letting him drive, which he'd done dozens of times. We might have been going 6-8 mph when he hit rut that caused the handlebars to turn hard right and his thumb to hit full throttle for a second or two. The 4 wheeler immediately flipped, ass end up and launched me like a catapult...in a millisecond I was flying like dang superman. I landed 12-15 feet away and when I hit, I turned and saw the 4 wheeler upside down, gas running out the vent tube and my son still under it...the adrenaline dump allowed me to roll the 4-wheeler off of him and back over on its wheels. Thankfully, he'd only had his breath knocked out. He was scared and it took him a few seconds to draw that first breath but once I was certain he was OK, my adrenaline wore off and I realized I was hurt. We got the flooded, bent and broken up 4 wheeler cranked and rode it straight back to the truck, loaded it up and left. We called home to let mom / wife know what happened and I drove an hour back to the house. When we got home she took me to the hospital and I had a broken arm and 2 broken wrists. To this day, when we go through that spot to go hunting or fishing, we talk about that wreck. He even jokes and calls it Superman Hill. Fortunately we're able to remember it as a mostly funny story but its one that neither of us will ever forget! [/QUOTE]
