If I was ever in a flipped car I would get out pretty fast, what with the definate explosion going to happen. I play far too much GTA.
The scariest thing to happen to me was when we had a fire in our house. Earlier, someone had used the toaster and put it in the cupboard, which has a pull down door. The door held down the switch thingie. Everyone was in bed, mum and dad were watching TV in bed. They heard the smoke alarm and dad went downstairs to see why is was being a pain this time. He then yelled up the stairs "Wake up everyone, get the **** out of the house!"
I awoke easily from mums calling but my sister was in a deep sleep, mum had to go in her room and shake her to wake her up, she then fell down the stairs, being so asleep. Anyways, dad had ran past the fire and got the fire extinguisher and put it out, he tried to escape our back door but he was having trouble with the lock and the room was filling with smoke. He made a split second descision to run out the other way and nearly collapsed from smoke inhilation. With all the smoke, no one could see if the fire was out. We called the fire station and they brought 'round two firetrucks, and the men went in, cleared all the smoke with a huge fan, and disabled the power in the kitchen, for chance or sparks starting another.
At the time I couldn't stop cracking jokes, but the next day in school I was sitting there and I realised that had mum and dad not been awake, the smoke alarm on the stairs would have only reacted when the fire was right under it, preventing escape there.
We could have lost everything. That's why a while back I kept saying about smoke alarms.
