Fishing in Grand Isle. On a trip with 10 or so buddies with several different boats. After afternoon of hammering reds buddy decides to unhook his trolling motor from his battery. Well he can't get the nut off so he reaches in his tool box and gets a wretch. While removing the nut he touched the other post on the battery with the wretch. Sparks start flying. Me and another buddy notice the sparks from across the marina. We sprint over bc the other guy with the wrench is froze up and doesn't know what to do. I grab a rag in the bottom of the boat and hit the wrench hard as I can and it knocks it off the post. No damage done. Luckily all the extra gas he spilled in the bottom of the boat when filling up didn't ignite. I don't know how it didn't but I'm happy it all worked out.

Do you mean boat, otherwise you would be dragging your boat or kid through the parking lot!

Stashing my extra bottle rockets in my back pocket during a bottle rocket war. Someone made a direct hit.
Got my fourwheeler stuck on a sandbar. Caught a ride back to the house with my cousin and called dad and told him. Well, we ride the tractor all the way to the fourwheeler only for me to realize I took the key out and left it at the house. "Were you worried someone was going to steal the key, son? Bc they weren't going to steal the damn fourwheeler."

Camping at Toledo as a teenager with my brother and dad. We left the bank one afternoon to bait the trot lines and my dad asked "Got plenty of gas, son?" My brother's answer: "yes sir".
On the way back in the motor sputtered and died. . . out of gas. "I thought we had plenty of gas??!!" dad yelled.
When another boat came up the channel he waved him over and asked for a ride back to the landing. As my dad climbed over in his boat, he kicked our little jon boat sideways and said "good luck!", then turned to the driver and said "Let's go!" The stranger and my dad sped off and left us there staring at each other. Two hours later he came back with some gas.
Always made sure we had a full tank after that.

Riding fourwheelers on Thompson Creek at night hauling arse about 40 mph couldn't see anything. Hit a tree sticking straight out at an angle. Tree went all the way through he front end and out of the plastic on the front fender. I flew off so hard and fast my legs broke the handlebars completely off the fourwheeler. My crotch took the gas cap off.
About 10 years old my Mom asked me to burn some trash and old plastic flower pots she had. I remember that plastic being melted in a puddle on the ground so I took a stick and was playing with it. Picked the stick straight up in the air and melted plastic fell on my arm and burned the hell out of me.
I was standing on the treadmill at about 8-9 years old and my younger brother walked up and turned the dial all the way up. It slung me backwards against the wall and I got my bare leg pinned under that tread mill going full speed. Peeled the skin off my leg.
At Lake Mary for fourth of July. Went to back boat down by myself. Had boat tied to the trailer but was an old ratty rope. Boat slid off broke the rope and floated out into the lake. I had to swim out and get the boat. There was 50 people at the boat ramp waiting because it was the fourth of July all laughing their asses off.
Hadn't been driving long. Took my 98 chevy out to the creek with a buddy (trespassing) and drank some beer on the creek. Heading back in the pitch dark I was driving along the edge of a cliff that was about a 50 foot drop to the creek below. Front right tire slid down off the edge because of some sand. Couldn't figure out what to do so we took all our valuables out of the truck, called a buddy to bring his Dad's tractor and yanked the truck in the opposite direction. It was a miracle it didn't fall off. Looking back on it it would have taken the truck, my buddy's Dad's tractor, and him with it.

Dad owned a General Store and sold gas. Had to be at work at 5:30 am so about 5am I turned the pump on so I could fill up. Got to reading a bass master magazine and got distracted. 15 mins later I drove off with the nozzle in the tank. Instead of hose breaking off the pump turned 90 degrees and sheered off the pipe. Had to go wake up dad and tell him gas was running over the parking lot. I made sure I worked overtime that day.

A bunch of these, a hammer, and gasoline on the floor of the garage....
My brother and I knew we were in trouble when we saw the top of the gas can on fire....

Lit about a 1/2 mile of the Mississippi River Levee on fire playing with bottle rockets. To date, the worst feeling of panic I ever have felt.
Killed a few of my neighbors prized songbirds off her feeders with my brand new pellet gun on Xmas Day. Dad was watching out the window, and made me go get them out her yard and tell her what I did. This lady was obsessed with her birds, her entire backyard was a haven for plants and birds.
Soooooo much stupid stuff from about 8 years up to current, I think I've succesfully blocked alot of it out.

1982, Me and my 8 year old buddy found a match book from Cowboys bar that had fallen out of my sisters car from her night out partying the night before. We took match book and went and burned bagged up leaves I’m my neighbors backyard. Once we ran out of matches we jumped on our bikes and went riding back around our neighborhood. About 15 minutes later we hear fire trucks coming through our neighborhood. Being the 8 year old boys we were we followed the trucks right up until they stopped in front of my neighbors house. Our little match book fire grew and caught the old picket fence on fire that separated all the backyards in the neighborhood. Nearly burnt down all of river oaks subdivision. Didn’t tell my dad that I had been the one to start the fire until the night before I got married.

Me and my buddy nextdoor both got kids tool sets for Christmas when we were about 7. They came with a real bow saw. Well, we were eager to try them out and my neighbor behind us had just had a decorative wooden fence installed similar to the ones on the right in the picture below.
We got about 3/4 of the way down about a 75 foot section of fence before my dad came out and lost his mind. We had sawed the damn tops off of almost every one of them including the posts

A simpler time
I had the pleasure of going to a black camp a few months back. I watched this very thing happen and I almost teared up a little.
Makes me sad for what's been lost.

Was staying at my grandparents for a few days one summer. Papaw would let me carry around his old single shot 22 to shoot squirrels, cans, and whatever. Saw a buzzard circling the house and thought "no way I'll hit that" but that didn't stop me from trying. Sure enough, that sucker came crashing down right into the windshield of my grandmother's Lincoln town car. I think my Papaw was more impressed with the shot than he was upset that he had to buy a new windshield.
As a kid I was into BMX. Wanted to show my buddies how tight of a circle I could turn in. Peddle hit the ground and my junk went straight into the end of the handlebar that was sticking through the end of the grip. Still have the scar 30 something years later.
Several years ago I went fishing at Lake Fork one friday evening in April. Cold front was coming in and I was in a hurry. Got the boat ready to back down the ramp and stuck the knot in my bow rope in the crack between the bed and tailgate of my truck to catch the boat when it came off the trailer. Turned around just in time to see the boat hit the end of the rope and that knot pop loose. There was a pretty good wind blowing straight out from the bank and the temp was dropping fast. I ran down the pier and got my shirt and pants off right before I jumped off the pier and swam to my boat. Turned out to be one of the best fishing trips I've ever had. No one was around to see any of it thankfully. 
Buddy of mine had 3 old round bales stacked up on top of a hill (2 on bottom, one on top) in a pasture. They were rotten and he had the idea that he'd burn them to get rid of them. When one of the bottom ones burned up, the top bale became a rolling fireball all the way down to the woods, which then caught on fire. 2 fire trucks later, they had it out.

Neighborhood kid came over mad about something I did. He had a paid of nunchucks and was prepared to throw down. I met him at the door with my BB gun. Shot him right between the eyes from 2 feet away. BB broke the skin and lodged between his skull and forehead skin.
I took him in the garage and grabbed my dad's electric magnet, worked the BB back to the hole and popped it out. I then covered the hole with one of those little circle band aids and sent him home.
My dad hit our driveway at the end of a cul de sac doing at least 60 mph. The BB gun was broken over my arse that evening.
Still worth it

High school party. My buddy and I were going on a beer run. I handed him a string of fireworks and told him to throw them into the crowd as we drive off.
He says "frick yeah!", rolls the window about half way down, lights the string, and goes to throw them out. The strings hits the roof of the car right behind the A-pillar, ricochets into the closed half of the window and lands in his lap.
The last thing I hear before all those babies start to pop is "OH shite!!!!!" After 100 or so explosions and just about as many "frick's" he's sitting there with his jeans torn apart and his inner thighs and nut sack all blown to hell. My ears were ringing and his balls were singing. I asked if he wanted to go home or to the ER, he just wanted to get back to drinking.
We never did make the beer run and he rocked out with his cock out for the rest of the party. Absolutely no shame.
