What dangers of hitchhiking are you aware of?

probably not much help, but I lived on the streets in Pittsburgh for like a year and got to really know what most people society would consider outcast or dangerous are like, and they really arent.  Im doin real good now, and I travel for my job, and I pick hitchhikers up all the time, at leasst once a month.  They tell me there stories.  Most are mentally unstable, and cant really function in society, and society has done nothing to help them so they just roam around, the rest just mostly had rotten luck and are trying there turn out at drifting.  Good people, never had any threatening situations, and you can usually tell if they are all dressed in dirty or ragg clothes and are unshaven with unkempt hair, with a couple of back packs, one guy i picked up even had a dog.  However I dont think I would pick up a guy that had no bags and was wearing something like a trenchcoat, you know like they have no business there.  OH YA - IF YOUR A GIRL I WOULDNT RECOMMEND PICKING UP HITCHHIKERS, PERIOD.

No, but I would like to if there was someone to teach me and ensure physical safety. It looks more like an animal to be admired from a bit of a distance to me.\n\nI have been on a camel twice and that was an adventure. I highly recommend it. And, I rode an elephant in a monsoon in Agra, India, once. Another experience money just can't buy.

Being safe is like breathing. You never want to stop. \n\nChance takers are accident makers. \n\nDon't be a fool! Inspect your electrical tools. \n\nDon't be safety blinded, be safety minded. \n\nExpect the unexpected. Gear up for safety. \n\nIgnoring a warning can cause much mourning. \n\nSafety is a cheap and effective insurance policy. \n\nWork safe today--heaven can wait.

Anything is possible, I can see a few complications down the road... but what the hay... cross those bridges when you get there!!

Yeah, I'd go out accidents happen all the time, and you just have to hope that it's not you or someone you know that it happens to (I know it sounds horrible but you know it's true). Plus leaving an over sheltered life is worse than living an overly dangerous one, in my opinion.

Yes. On my way into work this morning, I passed two fossils with gray hair driving a station wagon. Fossils shouldn't be allowed to drive.

I say.\n\nEverything is dangerous. Live with it, but be careful.

Great question, my wife is too pregnant and I am concern with everything she do! Driving is safe just make sure that if possible someone is with her or her cell is always charged, she is wearing her seat belt and that the vehicle is equipped with front and side airbags. Really sometimes it's not them behind the whel it the fool in the other car that worries me!

Yes, very much so.  They can also cause death.

I haven't, but a trucker friend of mine who has traveled all across Kansas and Nebraska and that part of the country has explained how they happen. They are not made by aliens. \n\nWhat happens is, a truck driver falls asleep at the wheel because those states are so boring to drive through-- hour after hour of nothing but wheat, or corn!\n\nSo they doze off and run off the road. Maybe the truck goes over a barb wire fence. Big deal, there's no big impact, it isn't going to wake up the driver right away. Unless he hits something big and solid like a tree (very few of those, out there!) he won't wake up right away.\n\nEventually, the crops slow the truck down gently and gradually, until it stalls and stops and then the driver wakes up.\n\nHe looks around figures out what happened to him and has to turn his rig around. He may have to drive in a big circle or spiral or he may try driving in different circles until he finds his way back to the road. \n\nThe central part of where the wheels chewed up the crops (and the soil) is strongly visible. The path to and from the road is less visible, and if a day or two goes by, the crops may even regrow or recover enough so the path is not visible, but it may not be recognized for what it actually  is.\n\nPresto! Crop circle, with repeated pattern (tread) in the middle! My friend knows what he's talking about. He's done it.

I was hitchhiking through Montana one time. I was sitting on the on-ramp leading down to the freeway. I see this guy walking up the ramp from the freeway. He was dressed like a regular guy - jeans, t-shirt, tennies.\nHe walked up to me, said "Hi, how ya doin?" He noticed I was reading a book. He said, "Here's something else for you to read", and handed me a little pamphlet. He walked off as I looked at the pamphlet.\nI scanned the pamphlet for about 15-20 seconds - it dealt with Christianity. \nI turned to see if he had kept walking, but he was not there.\nIn the time space he handed me that pamphlet, and the time I turned my head, he could not have gone anywhere. It was a long on-ramp and nowhere else to go.\nEven writing about it now after 21 years give me goose bumps.

It is not certain that any risks to human health actually exist. Concerns exist because the antennas of these phones deliver much of their RF energy to very small volumes of the user's body \n\n----\nOn the other hand, if you use a cell phone without a head set while driving there is considerable danger of getting involved in an accident.

played with a ouiji board by myself and it moved when my hands were not even on it.\n\ni know someone who claims he has been abducted all his life by aliens...several species, not just one race.\n\nalso know someone who claimed time was frozen for a moment when he was in a large shopping mall. everything stopped except for him. he looked around and saw a women walking wearing a large trench coat and wearing funny looking glasses. when she noticed that he saw here she disapeared and time resumed again.\n\ni also saw myself driving my car. my licence plate, me in the driver seat, wearing my coat and my glasses. i was also in my car when i saw him. we were both stopped at an intersection. i chased him/me and eventualy lost him.
