Ever since I've been kind of little shaky climbing high without secure measurements. I wouldn't say I'm afraid of hights, but ever since I haven't been able to trust that something will hold where I put my hand or foot.

I think the english word is "scaffolds"... not certain though. And you're lucky you landed on your back
No sequels from that?

having diarrhea on highway in a hot day with car full of relatives.

When I was in college the Geology department used to take us on these long field trips with like 15 people packed into one van. Any way one of the chicks had diarrhea and she was in the back of the van. She ended up climbing over like 6 people before getting out of the van and running off into the bushes.

I'm still pissed I didn't have my camera.

Yes I was VERY lucky! Worker there rush down and thought I was dead or at least paralized or something like that, it was a WILD fall. But I landed very flat, only hurt my ancle a bit, just a sprained it a bit, nothing else. Except a bit of a shock. There were some people walking in the street right next to the house, and they were also freezed like something horrible jsut happened. You know, a little quiet moment and no one moves. man that was scary, because I didn't know how bad I was hurt. Then I just had to test myself 'legs work, check, hands work, check..'.. But I was very lucky. It was maybe one in a million landing that I didn't get hurt at all.

I took the rest of the day off, naturally, but it was funny because they were talking to me like they couldn't believe nothing bad happened and one of them said that he thought I landed on my head. Because I fell forward in a superman flying position, like a wild leap and then started going head first but it was a full flip and I landed on my back. Phew, even talking and thinking about it makes me sweat.

Not only you didn't get hurt but you did it in style

I know But I screamed like a little girl. But I'd like to think people don't remember that, but only my wild leap .

What scares me?

People who wear socks with sandals!

But seriously, it would have to be heights (acrophobia).

Bugs. The crawly kind if it doesn't have a shell, or the flying kind if it has big wings or it stings.

You would not have enjoyed the camping trip I took in part of the Amazon when I was living in Ecaudor over one summer.

We slept on matresses with only a simple net screen around each matress to shield us from the critters of the night -- and in the rainforests, insects grow BIG.

Also PWS designs are scary. But in a good way.
