Have you ever had to "stop, drop, and roll?"

This was pounded into my head in the lower grade school. I can remember posters, class time devoted to it, and I'm pretty sure we went over it at children's church and cub scouts.
But never once in all my years have I had to do it. I don't even know anyone close to me that has had to do it.
You'd think that it would occur more often given the vigor with which it is taught.

have you ever fell off a ladder or out of a plane?

No but I have "stopped, collaborated and listened"

All the time when listening to DMX.

If by stop, drop, and roll you mean a blunt. Why, yes, yes I have.

Nope, but I visited my brother's college one weekend. Woke up to find my LSU tshirt had caught on fire at some point in the night. Luckily it only burned a few inches of my shirt and not me. Not sure when I walked into a fire

Yep sure have. Was putting gas in a 4 wheeler as a kid and got gas on my leg/sock....went close to a fire shortly thereafter. Leg was on fire and I hit the ground and rolled instantly. I guess all those years of it being drilled into my head stuck with me. Unfortunately all it did was fan the flames and I had to sit up and basically smother it with my hands. 2nd/3rd degree burns....skin essentially melted off in spots. Just below the knee and all the way down to my sock line. Stupid, careless young teenager.

No, but I did burn my hand and singed my beard, eye brows, and bangs one time when lighting the pilot on my hot water heater. House smelt like burnt hair for 2 or 3 days.

Yes, but it was only the tips. Almost a tragedy.

When I was 19 my mother asked me to burn a large holly bush in the yard. I grabbed a can if diesel and doused the bush pretty well, lit a piece of paper and leaned in to drop it on the pile then step back as the flame caught.
What I didn't know was that someone put unleaded in the diesel can. The bush was in a small depression and there was no wind so the fumes just sank down to ground level.
What I accidentally did was create a bomb of sorts and just before the burning paper hit the pile, it hit the fumes and lit my world up with a loud "WHOOOMP! that knocked me back a few feet.
Around the time I hit the ground I realized I might well be on fire so I rolled (which did indeed put out a couple of small flames). Lots of first degree burns and singed arm and leg hairs, some 2nd degree burns and a couple of 3rd degree burns (one of which formed a crucifix on my right ring finger that lasted for a couple of decades).

About as much as I've had to not panic in quicksand.

I did watch a guy try to light a fart once - his fuzzy pants caught fire for a brief instant.
