The biggest OH SHIT moment I had my first big accident that put me in hospital. I basically cycled into a transit van that turned across me. No warning less than a few metres to stop.
I knew I was going to hit it and I actually thought to myself "OH SHIT I am going to hit it, I'll be alright, won't hurt much". Next thing I know I am in the middle of the road, my ears are ringing (all I can hear), put my right arm down and intense pain. Broke my collar bone and it still not right 3 years later.
However When I was getting treated nurse in A+E and in my concuss state I started laughing uncontrollably, then I tried chatting her up, then about 10 minutes later I started crying. She must have thought I was a proper nutter.
