I once got one of those speedometer things for my bike when I was younger, and decided to see what I could top out at.
Our house was at the end of the cul-de-sac, and my grandma's house was near the entrance to it, so I decided I was going to roll down our driveway, get as much speed as I can, then jump their driveway and get onto the sidewalk where I would hit the brakes.
Too bad I was so focused on the speedometer that I ended up missing the driveway by about....two or three feet...
I went over the handlebars, and got a nice taste of the sidewalk when I faceplanted. Damn lucky I didn't break anything.
EDIT: FYI, the last thing I remember seeing before I woke up facedown on the sidewalk with extreme facial pain is hitting 16 miles per hour.

Bury me with my guns on,
So when I reach the other side,
I can show him what it feels like to die.

Bury me with my guns on,
So when I'm cast out of the skies,
I can shoot the Devil right between the eyes.
