Bingo, albeit a painful one Krash. I was helping Grandpa drive fence posts when I slipped and fell off the fender of the tractor. Its not something I'd recommend to liven up your day, the whole nearly bleeding to death thing is highly overrated.

You're up sir.

Actually -FICTION.
I grew up about 2 miles from Venice Beach but I've never been on a surfboard in my life. Didn't go down to the beach all that much even......

Assuming that it wasn't actively erupting at the time, hence meaning you wouldn't be here, I'll go out on a tenuous limb and say.....Fact.

Yup - Helicopter tour on Kawai. Pilot hovered then dropped vertically down into this small crater with steep sides. Pretty awesome......

OK, I've driven a car in excess of 250 mph.

Fact or Fiction.

OK. We know you've got some racing in your background but 250mph is awful high for any 'regular' type of racing. That kind of speed is only seen at Bonneville and (maybe) on the Mulsanne straight at LeMans.

I'll go out on a limb and say you've been to Bonneville - FACT.
