Inspired by recent tales of near misses on our motorways, I thought a thread devoted to frightening experiences would be in order.*

My own worst 'brown trouser moment' came when I was working in Abu-Dhabi engaged in obtaining stereoscopic aerial photography of the oil fields. I was located on a box in the back of a Piper Cherokee and already feeling pretty sick (it's a bit like sailing the South Atlantic in a barrell during a storm) when the pilot strayed over a massive oil field flare. The result was like falling of a very tall building in reverse! I don't think I've ever screamed sooooo loud or prayed so much so fast !

What's your worst brown trouser moment?
