It wasn't a friend, it was an elderly woman just walking out on the street.
She later tried to give you a $10 as a reward, and you kept telling her you couldn't take it, but she insisted, so finally you awkwardly took it from her, but you felt so bad on the way home that you stopped at one of those Santas who are raising money for charity (did I mention it was Christmas?) and put it in their container.
i saved my cousin from going through the windshield once. i was in a van with my aunt's children up in utah, and my cousin wouldn't sit down and buckle up. i got impatient and pushed her into her seat, and clicked the seat belt. as i was turning back to face front in my seat we were hit, it was a 4 car accident. i got taken to the hospital because i hit my head really hard on the window as i was turning back and they were afraid i had some sort of internal damage (i was ok).
buckle up kiddos.

McCly, why the fuck didn't the adult driving you make sure you were buckled up?
A few years back I accidentally cut off one of my father's fingers with an axe. Well, cut is probably too clean a term and it was a woodsplitter rather than an axe. Cut/Crush would be more accurate. And damaged the finger next to it rather badly too.
We were cutting firewood for my grandmother who was ill at the time. And were kind of getting bored with the whole thing and tried to speed it up a bit. But we did so in the dumbest, most stupid possible way. My father put the pieces of wood on the chopping block and I chopped them. Unfortunately, my father decided to readjust a piece of wood so he went to grab it. Double unfortunately I had already started swinging the axe, which came down on his hand. Although luckily the angle meant it mostly only hit one finger, cutting another a little and smashing a third a bit. He had a pair of gloves on at the time so we were thankfully spared any horrific images being burned into our minds. Well, until we got to hospital and they removed the glove.
So now my father only has 4 fingers and a stump on one hand, with one of those fingers having limited mobility (although it has since improved well). The funny part is that this is the same hand that he once cut the tip of one of his other fingers off with a table saw (not as bad as it sounds, didn't look much worse than the photos on page 11, probably less so), but also shortly beforehand he managed to misplace his wedding ring, much to my mother's annoyance. But I guess he gets a free pass when he no longer has the finger to put it on.
but I guess I rode in the back of my dad's pick-up truck all the time. Even sat on the wheel thing where I probably could have been thrown off with a bump

Those seats in the back had seatbelts. I was just horribly embarrassing. Sitting at the stop light, trying not to make eye contact with the people in the car behind you. Or hey, surprise rain showers.

To be fair, the people inside the brat were likely as embarassed as you were.

man I pulled up behind a truck that had some dudes in the bed and I was pissed cause I wanted to sing Africa by Toto really loud so I just glared at them
this is really hard to do when Africa by Toto is on the radio
Stale and Weaver, have you conisdered the possibility that your parents were trying to kill you, but wanted it to look like an accident?
never owned a child-seat
never owned a helmet for my bike
never had pads, or straps, or any of this pussified safety-first bullshit
and Gosh, generations upon generations of people grew up just fine. All we do now is coddle these kids. a few head injuries and a death or two keep shit in balance.
don't worry bongi, most of the kids ditch the helmets once they are out of view of their parents.
or they wear them with the snaps just fucking hanging down their cheeks like a bunch of idiots. if you are already wearing the goddamn thing SNAP THE SNAPS YOU IDIOT.

natural selection.
I tried to come up with a smartass response to this, but I can't figure out if you're a living example of natural selection working, or failing spectacularly.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

I have some nice n' big scars on my head and knee still.

shitty grandmother.
this was during my parents divorce and custody battle over me.
Wonderful. That sucks, dude.
Worst my grandmother did was get my the skin on my throat caught in a zipper doing up my snowsuit.
That's a fun scar to explain.
Only bone I've ever broken

There's video of you watching Camilla Saulsbury that begs to differ.
I never wore a seatbelt until I was well into my teens.
There was a time when it wasn't illegal, and wasn't common.
Hell, as a little toddler, my parents took out the backset of our Jeep CJ7, laid down a blanket, and I just rolled around back there.
Not wearing your seatbelt gives you cancer and a bitchy ex-wife.

hasn't been the norm for at least 125 years.
our parents, theirs, and theirs all lived well past 50
none of them had any of this bullshit
and I'm both a shining beacon of natural selection, and it's greatest arch-nemesis
