Talking of dogs in the other thread, when we got our first dog, Bruno, I had him out for a walk one day in some wasteland near to where I live. It was one of his very first walks with me, someone who had no prior experience of dogs. Anyway, he saw a rabbit, and bolted after it.
I was enjoying watching him run off so much that I had forgotten that he was still on the extendable lead, and all too abruptly, it came to the end, with all the associated momentum that entails with a medium sized dog running at full speed suddenly stopping dead.
I was pulled clean forwards off my feet and went scraping along the ground (I'm not the biggest of chaps you see).
Lying there, bleeding and in agony, I looked up, and Bruno was just standing there looking at me over his shoulder as if to say
'What the **** ARE you doing down there?!'
I have since heard of this happening to others.... when they were about 4.... I was 18.
As you can imagine, my family were
and I had learned my lesson.

Mine is probably when I was about 8 years old.
Was out playing and wearing roller skates, decided it would be a great idea to have a shot downhill on a bike with no brakes (pedal backwards to stop). I have no idea how I thought I could pedal wearing roller skates.
I used a lampost to stop myself

Ah, this sounds like a very ungraceful dismount after thinking jumping off some swings wearing rollerskates would be a great idea.

Well I did think it was funny until it suddenly occurred to me that being in the building line using lethal stuff like saws, mixers, drills and cutters, I may not be around much longer

I trod on a rake. On purpose.
I was probably about seven or eight and wanted to see if they behaved like they do in Tom and Jerry cartoons. I can categorically say they do.

as a kid me and some m8's all had these brand new style skateboards, you know sort of fish shaped, when they'd just come out late 80's early 90's
naturally we were pants at staying on them but it turns out you can sit on one and scoot down a hill pretty good.
so we went in search of the tallest hills possible to race down.
one think i never took into account was having as much balance as a drunken monkey without a tail. anyhoo after colliding with a m8 i went speeding off the path and straight into a lampost, the board went from about 15mph to 0 instantly, i carried on legs either side of the post.
strangely its my face and head i hit the most on the damned thing.
later on another friend showed up with a "wingboard" it looked like a manta ray and had handles you could grab. its only use was to make people fall off!
another time we found a burst main in the local business park and daring each other to run through it we cottoned on to the idea of shooting things up into the stream, it was a good 20/25 foot guyser out of this thing, it was the middle of summer so it was just WAY to much fun.
so we end up getting some of these recycle bin lids, you know those old ones with removable lids? yeah stick lid on bum and jump into guyser
my m8's youngest brother cleared about 15 feet i swear, if it wasn't for him practically landing on us he'd have broken something!

When I was about 13 I decided to have a bonfire while my parents were out. Bonfires with my Dad were a fairly common occurrence, and the use of paraffin and other combustibles often played a part.
On this occasion I couldn't find any paraffin or petrol but knew that his lawnmower had plenty of petrol in it, so I wheeled this over, took the cap off and up-ended this to apply a liberal dose to the as-yet unlit fire, and then wheeled it away down the path to a safe distance.
When I lit the fire it started with a satisfying WHUMP and was burning very nicely. However in my peripheral vision I noticed a line of flames heading rapidly down the path towards the lawnmower as the petrol that had spilled from this while I moved it back ignited. Even bigger WHUMP as the lawnmower went up as I sprinted down the garden in the vain hope of getting to the hose in time.
I seem to recall not getting pocket money for quite a while.......

When I was about 8, I decided to be all helpful and water the plants without being asked too. I came to one plant, which was sat on top of a high unit which also contained various things. So I climbed up onto it, but I wasn't quite tall enough to reach the plant properly. However I tried my best, I wasn't going to be beaten!
So, I valiantly started off and was just about to see if any water was coming out when suddenly WHUMPFF!! I had obviously unintentionally tilted the watering jug to the side, with half the contents coming out and landing directly on the video player sat below.
As I seem to remember, the video was never quite the same after that and was soon rather hastily replaced!

That's not stupid, just human. Unless by "young" you mean any age above 30I followed my gonads when I was younger, rather than my head.
