re: What’s the wildest thing you’ve even seen in person

At age three while riding in a car with my mother we saw the car immediately in front of us run over a kid on a bike. Kid was dead at the scene. Blood everywhere. It's imprinted in my brain.

story doesn't have to be a death story
Drunk AF guy left Bennigans in Lafayette (Ambassador and Johnston). Not sure the year… 2003-05 I’d guess…
Runs out yelling into middle of Johnston St and lays down in the road. Guy gets run over by a car and basically explodes. People were traumatized. Car just kept jetting west. Who knows if they even realized it.
That goes beyond just “wild”, but yeah…

Was driving on a freeway in Houston when I hear a loud pop from behind me on the left side. I pull my foot off the gas and see a jeep fly by me...then swerve and spin slowly. At one point, it was facing me about 50 feet in front of me. I can still remember the wide-eyed female driver staring right at me. Before I can hit it, it keeps going on its path and ends up hitting the embankment on the other side of the shoulder.
I didn't stop but it seems like the loud pop was one of her tires blowing which caused her to lose control. If I wouldn't have taken my foot off the gas, I am pretty sure I would have hit her head on.

Another time, I was driving on a different Houston freeway and one of those big round bales of hay fell off a truck in front of me. It exploded right when I drove through it. Everything got pitch black for a split second...I'm just glad the truck didn't slam on the brakes.

I witnessed two motorcycle accidents and came upon the aftermath of another. Not nice at all.
I was right behind a guy who had a car pull out in front of him in Port Allen going North on LA 1. We had just went through a green light at Court Street and at the next entrance onto LA1 a lady pulled right out in front of the guy.
All he could do was stand on the pegs. As the bike hit the car he flew head first ( actually head first) into the side of the car on side of the top and his body kept going and he flipped over that car and tumbled lifelessly down the pavement on the other side of the car. There was absolutely nothing he could have done to avoid that car.
It happened in the blink of an eye. I stopped and began to get out of my car and heard a girl screaming and running to the guy's body crying out his name followed quickly by other people. There was obviously nothing I could add to the situation so I went on about my way. I never found out who that was.
Another dude had a flat on the front going about 65 merging onto I-110 North. He couldn't steer and went straight into the guardrail and flew into the air with his body spinning violently like a helicopter and landed on the guardrail and bounced on it grotesquely several times.
I stopped and ran up to him and he was still conscious and told me he had a flat. I heard sirens coming and people were congregating so I backed off and left. There had to be someone there that could help him more than I could.
The third one was on the pavement all broken up after he had someone pull out on him just like the guy in PA. I was just a little kid on my bicycle for that one.
Needless to say although I love motorcycles and think they're really cool I have absolutely no desire to get out on the road with 3 ton vehicles and more especially now with people so distracted by their electronic devices.
No fricking way.

My wife went to Walmart and she took my car. When she’s leaving Walmart she’s looking for her car.
My wife can be a little dramatic so she kind of said (not screaming but just loud enough)
“Someone just stole my car”.
About that a little old lady in her scooter said without missing a beat
“The whole world gone plume crazy” and kept motoring on.
My wife busted out laughing.
It wasn’t the wildest by any means but definitely hilarious.

Honestly, I don't want to read your story after reading this opening.
A friend of mine who worked fire and rescue for years told me a story about responding to the scene of a motorcycle wreck. He said he went to pick up the rider's helmet, but it wasn't just the helmet.

When I was a kid, a family friend died in his house by overdose. No one knew for about a week, so you can maybe imagine the smell and scene we walked in on when we went to check on him. I've never forgotten it.

One of those second line shootouts after Katrina came to Touro because Charity was still shut down and University hospital was opened yet. They bring this 18 kid in all shot up in the face, bleeding like a stuck pig. EMS couldn’t intubate him, ER doc couldn’t intubate him, I couldn’t intubate him, you couldn’t see any landmarks to place an airway, between all the blood and holes in his face it was impossible to see.
In the process with this kid bleeding out and us trying to tube him, he was cursing all of us out. We wound up doing an emergency trach on him and sent him to surgery. Kid wound up dying in surgery. It was crazy.

I saw a man fist fight an emu in a Family Dollar parking lot on a Tuesday afternoon in the summer of 98.
Absolutely the wildest thing I’ve ever seen. Apparently the emu had escaped from a farm and made its way to the Family Dollar. Some random guy decided the best way to subdue it was to attempt to kick some emu arse. The emu didn’t back down but the dude landed a body blow and it ran across the highway into a soybean field and chilled for a bit before running into the wood line.
As far as I know the emu is still at large.

I don't know how people ride motorcycles around Houston, your time is coming on those damn roads.

Worked in a warehouse and wrapped thick cable around large spools at high speed. A coworker got a piece of shirt stuck as a spool wound. He was turned into mush getting wrapped around the spool in a few seconds.

Someone drown. Then their rib cage crushed during CPR by EMTs so forcefully blood shot out of the tube in their throat.

Back at LaTech I saw a guy bounce out of a dumpster after he jumped off the roof of Neilson dorm. GF and I had just returned early from partying. She saw him before he hit and was like "What The Hell???" then I saw him on the bounce and heard it loud and clear through rolled up windows and radio on.
So what happened? Did he die?
