Bailing on a Toboggan

"When I was six I rode in the front seat of a toboggan that ended up losing control and steering sideways into a barbed wire fence. My forehead shredded, hot tears racing down my cheeks, I learned at that moment that things can unravel real quick on those steep, snow covered hills" (App of Awesome).

When I was little my Dad used to attach an old metal toboggan to the back of our mini-van. We would all sit on it and he would drive, pretty fast, through the snow on logging roads. It was so much fun! He would drive until one or all of us bailed, usually we weren't bailing on purpose but sometimes we had to. Now that I think of it, it was pretty dangerous, not sure what my dad was thinking!

"You have no choice at this point. Even though it means hitting the ground hard, twisting your ankle and possibly rolling down half the hill, you just gotta do it. Bail for the moment. Bail for the memories. Bail for your life. AWESOME!" (App of Awesome). Write about a time when you were tobogganing or make it up, have you ever had to bail for your life?!
