About a year ago, my dad and I had gone to one of his friends farm's, and they had a 4-Wheeler there. I've driven a 4-Wheeler before but for only about 5 minutes and it wasn't that far. Their lot is pretty big, so I asked if I could drive it, but my dad knows I'm really not good with those kinds of things, and he lectured me on how I should be safe and don't go so fast, I agreed and just left. After a couple laps around the farm I was feeling pretty comfortable with driving the 4-Wheeler. I decided to go one more lap, but this time I was going to go fast. I was about a mile away from the barn in a field, when there was a turn to the right, but instead of me pushing on the break I pushed on the gas. Not knowing I got them mixed up, so I ran into a Barbed Wire Fence, and after the Fence there was a drop off and alot of trees, but I was lucky enough that the fence caught the 4-Wheeler, I was panicking, not knowing what to do, after about 30 Seconds of sitting there scared to get off because I didn't want the fence to snap, but it was too late. The top of the fence snapped and came up hitting me in the chest and knocking me off of the 4-Wheeler. I got up and started running towards the Barn, But by then my dad noticed that I wasn't back yet and came to find me, after running like a mile, my dad got there I was bleeding and didn't know what to do. My dad told me to get in the truck and he got the 4-Wheeler out of the fence and my little sister drove it back, If the fence would of broken I could of been dead, thank god it didn't break.
