I see the results of setting items on vehicles or not securing them all the time. The other day in Pennsylvania, I saw a brand new, still in bubble wrap, double bowl stainless sink laying in the edge of the road. I've seen Yeti coolers, boat seats, tons of tools,mattresses, couches, recliners, new refrigerators, and all kinds of stuff in the road.
The only problem is, I can't get this rig stopped in time to pick this stuff up.

This happened to me two years ago. I bought a stoeger 2000 shotgun from a member on here and decided to go do a little shooting. First I tried the stoeger with turkey shot, and propped my shotgun up on a target while I admired my pattern. Then I walked back to the truck and unloaded 100 rounds of 9mm at some random targets downrange. When I packed up to leave I didn't see the stoeger in the back seat of the truck and I started to get a sick feeling. I looked and there it was propped up on a target behind some I had just shot at with my 9. It took one bullet to the barrel (ruined it), and one to the forearm (ruined it and broke a guide rod). Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Man where do I begin? I guess the stupidest thing I have done several times as a teenager and in my early twenties was rejecting the relationship that Jesus pursued with me. My thinking was that I could always deal with that tomorrow and so for today, I'm gonna do what I want. Then one day, God made Himself very clear to me and He saved me by His grace.

Climbing without a harness. When I was 16 or so my dad bought an ole man climber and let me use it. I would climb 50' without a thought in the world about my safety until...... One day I climbed a pine and was about 35-40 feet up. I climbed facing the tree and wanted to sit with my back to the tree so I had to step over the netting. When I picked my foot up I slipped and my body lunged forward away from the tree. My foot somehow got caught on the netting and saved my life. I haven't climbed without a harness since.
Had a party at my parents house as a senior in high school. It got a little out of hand and some things were stolen. I regret that every day of my life. The disappointment in my parent's eyes still haunts/hurts me to this day.
I once got so excited about turkey hunting I left my gun. Got everything settled, decoy out, made a few tree yelps and realized my mistake. I am sure the majority of us have done this.... right?
I was climbing a new tree one day in a prime spot. I left my saw and pruners on accident so I thought I could make due with my survival pocket knife as it had a serrated edge. I got to about 15 foot and was a whittling on this limb when the blade slipped and came down on my opposite hand. The blade (factory sharpened) went to the bone. It was one of those wounds that doesn't bleed for 10 or so seconds. I was amazed that I felt no pain and could see bone. Next thing I know there is blood literally pouring from my hand. I scuttle down the tree just in time for that warm fuzzy feeling you get just before you pass out but I never did. The bottom of my climber was nearly completely covered in blood.
Same story as above but was whittling wood in a shooting house... I passed out this time. It was below 20 degrees that morning and I have never sweated more than I did just before I passed out.
I have since learned not to whittle on things in the woods.
Dangit man!

I put a wrench and a cheater bar on a crankshaft pully nut one time to loosen it so I could replace the seal.The idea was to hold the bar and get my wife to bump the starter.It worked like a charm loosening the nut.Just like an impact wrench.Problem was that the wrench slipped and the cheater bar went right through the radiator and put about a 2 inch hole right through it.

I was turning and threading one end of a shaft in an old Bridgeport EZ Path CNC lathe. The shaft was made of one inch diameter 304 stainless steel, and was about 6 feet long. To chuck near the end I was working on, that meant that I left about three feet of slender shaft hanging out of the tube. I wrote a program to do my turning at 400 RPM, before slowing the spindle for the threading. Well, I fat fingered the 400 RPM and keyed in 700 rpm instead. When I started the spindle and it climbed to 700 RPM, all hell broke loose. The machine literally started jumping up and down and bouncing all over the place. Two of the foot pads were not even under the machine when it was all over. The control is mounted on an arm that will swing around for convenience. And about the time I was reaching for the E-stop, there was a loud bang and the arm came swinging towards My face hard enough to relocate my head. I did manage to hit the e stop and drop back just in time, as the keys were launched throughout the end of the shop behind me, and the monitor came to a rest on the chuck and tool post, hanging by the wires/cables.
304 stainless is tough, but it is very flexible. The tail end of the shaft had started bending, therefore causing the machine to be extremely out of balance, and it got progressively worse quickly. In just a couple of short seconds the shaft had bent to near ninety degrees. It was this that had knocked the controller straight at Me. Imagine a three foot long piece of one inch dia. steel swinging at close to 700 RPM and hitting the control box. Scary stuff.
I guess I'm really blessed that I wasn't hurt except for a very slightly mashed finger nail. Still not sure how that happened. When I walked into the office to tell my boss about it, I was fully expecting that a few minutes later, I would be loading my tool box on my truck. I kept my job though.

I walked up to a 30 gal feeder mounted on a post about 10 ft in the air and decided to shake the pole to see how much feed was in the feeder. Well, I can tell you, it was lights out. When I came to, I was bloody and thought I had been shot. Turned out, the lid with 3 solid bricks that held it down had came off on my head. Wasnt to smart......

Used to carry a Colt stainless Series 80 Officers .45, did the classic lay it on truck roof to unlock door, realized where I'd left it five miles down the road. Found it in the middle of the road. Holster had kept it from getting beat up. Possibly the worst was when in Vietnam - me and another kid ran across 150 yds of open rice paddy while under cover fire from our tank to grab two VC hiding in the tree line. Got on them, jerked them up, walked them back to tank, secured them, then when I cleared my M16 before putting it back on the rack realized I hadn't chambered a round.
