Thats cool!
@HoofHearted when I originally posted this it was in response to a dude who was naked & caught some type of wild animal but I no longer see his comment or profile which makes the context of my post sound kinda strange lol

I caught a hummingbird with my bare hands in the smoke shack at work. I always thought their beaks were sharp. They’re more like grass or a soft straw.
I was once kissed by a wild baby deer who called me Maaa… True story!
I also preformed CPR on my pet hampster Henry the 8th who lived on for 2 more year’s thereafter when I was 10.

It was amazing!!! Talk about being present in the moment! For that 50 seconds of free fall, there was nothing in thw world that mattered. Just me and the earth below (oh, and the guy on my back). It was everything I ever wanted!!!

Wonderful! I just a minute or two ago saw an earlier post of yours where you helicoptered around Hawaii and that was scary! Amazing the difference in the experiences!

I got stuck on a one of the few exposed ridges in Scotland with my then partner. We had all the right gear and experience but it had been a milder winter and the ice was melting too soon. We kept slipping down trying to scale sideways and there were deep drops. Ice axes and crampons couldnt get proper hold. It went against our pride but we called mountain rescue from this tiny platform we could reach that was big enough to sit on. The sky was absolutely clear and bright blue. No wind for once. It was cold and sunny and we were high. We first heard the helicopter as the faintest mechanical chopping noise, then we could see it come for us from miles and miles away. It was marvellous. When it was above us we saw how huge it was. We forgot all about our fear. The pilot communicated w us via mobile and he said to us to “affix ourselves to the mountain” w our axes because “the downforce is feirce”. He repeated that. He was not wrong. It was so loud in the normally silent mountain air. When the rescue captain airlifted me out I swung free on this rope dozens of meters above the high ridge and I could see all the mountains we’d walked in recent days and on trips before. It was sublime. Got my first tattoo as a memento on my side for this.

Well besides being Raised in a religious cult, and married the towns gangster. Odd things just happens to me. First of all I’m clumsy,like disastrous clumsy. But most times that leads to interesting situations.
And then there’s this other trait where I more or less stumble into things. Like last week when we where on vacation. First there was a really nice lady serving breakfast at the hotell, she spoke to everyone laughed,joking around and was lovely. Her English sounded really British and she didn’t seem to understand Danish or Swedish very well. So eventually I asked her about it. And she was indeed British married to a Danish guy. It was her first week at the job. We became friends, and at the end of the holiday we have had multiple coffee breaks together with her and her husband.
Later this year we’re going to England to ride the Polar express, funny enough we’re going to this ladies hometown for our stay. So now we have new friends.
Later on the same vacation my boys was doing a kids quest at the hotel,and I was about to check out the city map for that days adventure. And there was a lady with a cap saying “Ask a local” so I did, we started talking a lot, she gave us some Ideas for Field Trips around and then she asked me if I could get the kids because she wanted to take a photo. So we all ended up at that city’s local tourist homepage as a commercial picture.
During that days trip to an old fortress from WW2 the cashier had forgotten his breakfast, and his car didn’t want to start. We where just standing looking at an old military jeep that belonged to the fortress museum, when the cashier asked if we wanted to take a ride because he was going to buy breakfast. Of course we wanted. He told us they don’t usually drive passengers or visitors and that it was the first time anyone besides the crew took a ride on it. It was awesome.
The funny thing is, that things like that happens more often than not. So I have a lot of stories like that. This was just the most recent ones.

Reminds me of situation, where I hallucinated that razor blade is my brush. 
20 years ago my aunt, my cousin and me sat in a car together. Auntie was driving.
At a huge crossroad she flew over red lights. It was like in a movie, like all was planned. All went well, no accident happened.
I don’t recommend this

So i’ve been almost killed by a train, TWICE.
The first time when i was with my mom in our 1992 Camaro, i was around 12 years old. The train tracks didn’t have the Crossing things that go down, my mom saw the lights flashing and she gunned it. As we passed i looked back as the train went by. A cop saw all of this and immediately pulled my mom over. He said, “Mam, i would hated to scrape you and your son’s remains off the pavement, but if you were a little slower, that’s what would have happened.” That sentence was imprinted in my brain.
Then Last year it almost happened again, we were in an area where there were 4 to 6 train tracks, i stopped early (or so i thought) only to have the crossing thing land on top of my car. I hit the gas hard as my wife screamed in the backseat “GO GO GO!!!”. I was shook the rest of the night. LIke it almost happened, again.
