OR
Standing on the float of a float airplane. When we taxied to the boat ramp we didn’t know we had a puncture in the pontoon. I started pumping the water out and tried to plug it, but it didn’t work.

Scariest thing you’ve done: I got charged by a moose when I was 14. I was walking home after a day of skiing in my open ski boots. I heard the trees rustling next to me in the creek bed behind my house, before I even looked I knew what was happening, I was being charged. But I looked over my shoulder and caught direct eye contact with the moose. At that moment I knew, “This is how I’m going out,” I dropped to the ground in the fetal position. I was so petrified from the shock that in my head I thought that I was actually trampled but luckily when I dropped to the ground the moose turned around and ran away.
