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

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.

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.

Spiders suck. Snakes are okay.

I've had recurring nightmares of tornados since I was a little kid......and I'm from Utah and never actually seen one live.

ACK!

I'm afraid of bugs with lots of legs that sneak up on me and start crawling all over me and throw me into a panic as I try to get them off and then leave little twitching legs stuck all over me when I accidentally squish them on myself. I'm also afraid of walking into spider webs and not knowing if I've got some big fat hairy spider crawling all over me as a result of doing so.

I'm also afraid of ocular hemmorhaging. Other kinds of hemmorhaging don't really bother me that much, but there's something about suddenly bleeding from your eye sockets that just kinda makes me shudder.

I get grossed out by the thought of having that little piece of flesh that connect you tongue to the bottom of your mouth clipped.

That doesn't bother me too much, but I am scared of having my jaw torn off.

the only thing in the world that i am scared of is the bottom of lakes...not near the shore, but out in the middle.i'm not scared of snakes or spiders or anything living, and i just got done cliff jumping, and i'm pretty sure i'm not scared of heights (plus i've bungeed a few times and been sky diving.

and i love to scuba dive, so it's kind of weird. I just don't like to tthink about the bottom of lakes when i'm skiing or wakeboarding...

For me it's scorpions first, wasps second.
I've never been stung by either, but that's probably because I run the other way.

Yeah I have the exact same thing. I grew up swimming and fooling about in lakes, creeks and damns but the bottom of lakes gives me the willies. Especially where there are dead trees around. Its like the branches are creepy hands reaching up from the deap to grab me and pull me down.

Gays and Canadians. Must be one big phobia, as the two are so similar.

I'm also afraid of bukkake.

Are you scared of it in general, or are you only scared of being on the receiving end? Because I'm not sure if it's technically possible for a guy to be on the receiving end of bukkake -- I think that would turn it into something else.
