Wagon Flip Wilhelm!

2011 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

There was a hill. A hill that was about 45 degrees with a bump. After I made the mistake of careening down it once on a bicycle, and doing a spinning flip for about eleven feet, I had the enterprising idea of asking my brother to join me. On a garden wagon with no brakes.

The first time, we hit the bump, flipped, and landed twenty feet down the hill with the wagon on top of us. Barely missing my arm and my brother's neck. And if that wasn't enough, we took the ride again, this time miraculously escaping an untimely demise elicited by the bump, and cheered while going down the rest of the steep hill. until we realized that the path ahead of us included a raised hay shed on stilts. We jumped out just in time to hear the...Bam. The wagon took out about half of the stilts, wrecking the shed. My brother and I escaped with our lives; The hundred pound steel wagon wasn't that lucky, sustaining damage that rendered it useless.

How on earth did you not see the shed until after you were going down the hill?
