Adrenaline-fueled events (1 Viewer)

Will have to add the post that prompted this after I post this.....

But what events in your life have been "adrenaline-fueled"?   Any feats of strength, etc.?

I definitely have one that comes to mind that I'll post.

Sounds similar to mine. Was driving up a ~40 ft hill and caught the back wheel on a vine, turned the entire thing sideways and last thing I remember is saying "Oh ####" and trying to bail off the high side.  It rolled down the hill, I came off it, and as it flipped down the hill it smacked me several times.  I landed on my back, and it landed upside down on top of me.  My brother was standing at the bottom of the hill and rolled it off me and managed to wake me up.  I tore the bottom third of my right earlobe away from my head, chipped a tooth, and had fractured skull but other than that I was fine. He was freaking out because he couldn't tell I had torn my ear, he just saw blood coming out of my ear so he figured I was dead. 

I should also say, my brother was 15 at the time and about 150 lbs soaking wet.  He lifted a Yamaha Grizzly 660 off me by himself.  Adrenaline will do crazy things...

Here's the post that got me to thinking.....

Here's mine:

It was 2011 and my daughter was not yet 1, and I was playing Mr. Mom.  I worked, but had a super-flexible schedule that had me at home most days.  I was home and guess I left the screen door open, so my then-4-year-old black lab was able to roam freely from house to backyard.

I was in the living room (could not see backyard) and heard yelping from my dog that I had absolutely never heard before and knew that it was something life-threatening going on.  I jumped up and ran at full speed out back to see her being mauled by 2 pit bulls.  These suckers lived next door and had dug under the fence.

Without hesitation I pulled the jaws of one of them off her and threw the dog 10 feet in the air.  Was in the process of getting the second one off when the neighbor hopped the fence, threw the one dog back over the fence and helped me get the second dog off.

My dog survived but was gashed up real good.  Looking back I don't know how I did what I did.  It was terrible.  My poor dog ran inside and hid underneath our bed.  

Yes, I am not a fan of pit bulls but that's another story.

So, you got any stories where adrenaline fueled something crazy/awesome/etc?
