I was around 9 or 10 years old, and I decided that learning how to ride a two-wheeler for the first time by going down a 300-yard long 45-degree angled slope, with a gigantic cactus at the bottom would be a great idea. Despite my lack of experience, I aimed myself towards the plant life unerringly.
Oh yes, and I had a friend behind me (banana seat) on the bike to land on me and impale me further. I was so afraid I had popped my eye (thinking then that eyeballs were basically balloon-like organs)....
