Was bombing on my a to b bike down a bridge on a wet day. At the end there were some railings, designed to slow down idiots like me, but I decided it would be clever to test out my sh!tty old v brakes.... I slammed on as close as possible, obviously didn't stop, slid out, and my neck landed on my bar-ends If I didn't have such thick rubber grips, I would either be dead or have a 3/4" hole in my neck
