I recently slid off my hangar roof (removing snow), and busted a knee, arm, and rib. Leaving the roof, and preparing for landing, my last utterance was "Okay".

Once, before a similarly ignonimous collision with the ground (totalled a plane), my singular comment was "oh-oh".

I was curious what other words are popular in the half-second before something is imminently going to suck and/or hurt a lot.

Obviously, I'm finding being crippled and grounded a boring existence.

OH - SHIT!!!!;)

Mine too were "okay." I used a pocket knife to open a big barrel of paint thinner... I have no idea why... anyway, I almost cut my pinky off :eek: I still have a scar.

PUTA

NO!

Hahaha...

My famous last words are, almost everytime; "You idiot!"

"you f&$ing monkey-ass bitch"

"hEllo"

this past summer (gods, that was a wild summer!) i was playing around with a couple napalm grenades.
when i realised id just set one off i managed to utter somthing along the lines of "fucking timmy!".... have no idea where that came from, but whatever.
so anyhow i managed to chuck it into the street and jump in a drainage ditch and survive the burning onslaught of hell fire before it went off about 2 seconds later.
their are still burn marks on the street. lol

im so glad "fucking timmy!" werent my last words. atleast it wasnt as bad as "okay"....
to this day i have no idea how or why that popped out of my mouth.
i think your brain kind of shuts down when you know your about to die or get mortaly wounded.

"fucking timmy!" lol

:D :D

That's the best yet. I've been thinking, maybe having something clever rehearsed would be handy for an epitaph, epecially in a line of work where you are recorded on radio- If you're going out, might as well go with a laugh :D

In a brush or 2 with my own death, I've glimpsed an intense, detached, and ironic comedy about it.

...but preparing to sizzle in agony- I don't think my sense of humor goes that far, you sick bastard.

the only brush with death i can recall, i was drunkenly muttering stuff about someone who had just died and something about chicken.

If you're a redneck: "Hey! Watch this!"

The big three automakers, in conjunction with the government has secretly conducted a "black box" program for sport utility vehicles over the last three years to determine the conditions during the 15 seconds preceding an incident. In 49 of the 50 states, over 90% of the audio recorded before an incident consisted of "OH SHIT". The one exception to this statistic was in Missouri, where over 80% of the audio consisted of a variant of "hey watch this!".

OH, Whoopsie, Snarluf, OH-Shit.

And other weird sounds or phrases the come spewing from my mouth........

and by the way, when i set off the second grenade, i through it into a four foot deep hole and ran. i also lengthened the fuse considerably.

see, i CAN learn!


hehe. reminds of that time i wached my brother jump off the roof.
"of course my parachute will work!"
it was a sheet tied to a wire coat hanger wich he held onto for dear life as he plumited towards the ground... and a broken wrist.
yah. i could have stopped him....

"fuck me"

i am fucked now!

I WONDER WHAT THIS DOES?

This thread will of course drift wherever it will, but I was hoping to survey expressions ejaculated in the instant preceding extremely threatening mishaps: Not what is uttered when there is time to contemplate, or after the fact, or when you stub your toe, or when you hear the Department of Fatherland Security has placed us on OrangeAlert.

I'd like to hear some more about the ! before the * for my pathetic entertainment. The more considered reactions are interesting and humorous at times too, but just aren't the same thing I'm sadistically soliciting. Disclaimer: No request is implied to intentionally explore near-death experiences to assist in any suggested research unless you are a neoconservative who can't afford a good attorney.

What have you uttered when a blast of mortal adrenaline shoots through your brain, if you've had such experience(s)?

A jump I took (I use to skydive) went completely wrong when, shortly after throwing my pilot chute, I fell into a dive and my feet got caught up in the lines after my main chute deployed. So there I was inverted, feet tangled in lines causing the slider to remain too far up.. I recall my mind being completely focussed on getting untangled - I never thought for a second that the ground was rushing towards me.. Before I knew it my feet fell free from the lines and everything was a-o-kay. I think I made a deep low grunt that originated in my gut. The adrenaline lasted throughout the night and I couldn't sleep at all..

So no, in a moment of pending doom, for me, no thoughts go through my mind whatsoever except for what I must do at that moment to avert doom.

Gotta keep that arch! :D I'm not one to talk, though- I opened from a sit once, and it just about yoinked my guts out then swung my feet up almost into the risers. I didn't care much for that. I've never had a fast malfunction yet, or blurted anything memorable. Skydiving is such the perfect adrenaline kick, and normally not too freaky- there's always Plan B, right?

Gotta keep that arch!

LOL! Aww man, you know what I did wrong and - b/c you know - I am embarrassed. Yup, made that mistake only once.. It was quite scary to think of it afterward, especially when I realized that, even if I did cut away my reserve would have been useless.. Gave it up though. All my friends who jumpped w/ me quite after getting married so I had no one to go with anymore...

I agree, I have not been able to find another adrenaline rush like that.

Keep flyin' my man, keep flyin'..:cool:

I'm sure you've heard this saying, "it's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air then being in the air wishing you were on the ground." That was the first thing I was taught by the CSPA instructor...

From a sit??? Hahaha!:D

"What if I die?"

"now that i stop to think, this is actualy very scarey"-said before plumiting about 200 stories.
