I saved someone's life in the back woods while backpacking.
We tried to cross a water crossing we should NOT have tried to cross, whitewater and way too fast. A few folks came down the other side of the trail and we eventually rigged our bear ropes into a hand hold across the river, maybe 40' wide. Took about 10min to cross and I almost got swept away. First one from their group to cross got stuck, lost her footing, and was holding onto the rope with like 3 fingers. I rushed out and grabbed her pack. Not sure how I got back there so quick but hauld her back up and helped the rest cross. When I got back to the other side my legs were cut TF up from the rocks.
I dont cross white water now.
Of all my stories about the many stupid things I've done, somehow the only one that gets reliably met with skepticism is the time I was very nearly killed by the worlds largest giraffe puppet. It's bizarre, you'd think it would be the bowling ball cannon blowing up or the forklift jousting incident or further BS like that, but nope. Giant puppet death, that's unbelievable.
There was a 3 year period of my life where almost every tragedy you could think of happened weekly. It got to a comical degree of stupid
I'm about to start therapy (again) for pretty much the same reason... I joke that I don't have good luck nor bad luck, just crazy luck. Only a few people closest to me truly know how wild it's been the past 5 years? 7 years? I honestly lose track sometimes
Last time I went to therapy in 2021, I gave them a summary of the most recent traumas and completely forgot to tell them my sister had recently died. The next session, I mentioned it to them and their face... couldn't entirely hide their shock. It was at least validating though

I don't expect people to believe things just because I say I experienced them, but can't think of anything that's happened that NOBODY believes, I am much more often surprised by how much they do.
