Ah, so many mistakes in life... I am glad I had the commonsense to learn from them, instead of continue to repeat them nowadays.

- Let my older sister ride a pushbike with no brakes down a very big hill, which a truck came out at the bottom, she swerved and missed the truck, but then stacked the bike and nearly killed herself as a result. Lots of hospitalization for that one. I did try and tell her to let me ride it as I could control them better, but she did insist and I made the choice to give the bike to her instead of just taking off down the hill myself.

I would have gone down it in small bites across the hill, not directly down it, as there where too many roads leading onto it.
