This fuck up happened a couple years back when I was younger and a whole lot dumber.

So, my dad worked driving recycled water trucks to water new estates and whatnot. He would generally come home in the afternoon with the truck and a significant amount of water left in the tank. So he would do what any good neighbour would do and sprayed it all over the lawns of the people down the street. I jumped on a ladder on the back of the truck to make sure he didn't spray any old ladies or anything. 

Now comes the fuck up. Dad finished spraying the neighbourhood with his piss water and I thought he was heading back to our house. Unfortunately for me we live in a cul-de-sac and he was facing the wrong way down the street to park next to our property. So he drives or of the street presumably heading towards a round-about that was a couple streets down.

I was still hanging on to the ladder. When I realised what his plan was, we were going too fast for me to safely hop off. In the seconds that followed I had these thoughts. 

I could A. Hold on to the ladder for dear life. Potentially getting thrown off as my dad inevitably takes the corners too fast. Being seen by passing motorists and/or cops.

Or B. Jump off now while we're only doing about 30-40Km/h in back streets, try to hit the ground running and make it back home, none's the wiser.

I jumped.

Needless to say hitting the ground running is a flawed concept. As I hit the bitumen my legs flew out from underneath me and I face planted into the road. I jumped up instantly and moved to the sidewalk to inspect the damage. Had a few chunks taken out of my knees and waist. I could also feel hot scratches on my face.

As I looked up I saw a car about 50 metres down the road that would have seen the whole incident. I started jogging home while the adrenaline was still numbing my pain. As soon as I got in the door the adrenaline seemed to stop instantly.

Luckily I didn't end up doing any long term damage.
