Almost got dragged out to sea by a wicked undertow. I was dragged over some rough rocks and got dinged up pretty bad but a mate saw me struggling and jumped in and saved me, about 11-10 yo.
Also very young and riding home from a junk hauling job in the back of my stepfathers giant truck,. I was on top of a dresser when furniture blanket under me started sliding off the back of the truck. We were going down the highway doing 60mph and the wind pressure was just sliding me along and because of the blanket i couldn’t get a purchase on anything. My (other) mate heard my screams and grabbed the blanket as my legs were going off the edge and ice the highway. Very scary! This was maybe 10-11 years old. You might think ‘the fuck were you doing on the back of a truck going down the highway’ and all i can say is it was the 80’s nobody cared.
between my mom and stepdad they had 8 children and you really aren’t far from the mark. one of my step brothers rode the roof of a winnebago over the golden gate bridge!
