Easily, Steve having mashed a helmet to pulp once instead of my head. 
Unfortunately the vehicle didn't fare much better than the helmet.

I missed Shawns E due to a change in systems, but given the choice I would 
choose the boat too, but knowing all  this in advance of course,  I'd rent 
a plastic boat instead. I still don't want no flamin' scratches in my strip built.

Reminds me of my first trip in a new WW canoe, lining up to run Edge of
the World, a Class IV on the Amicolola River in North Georgia. "Let's
see, where will I need to be to ensure I don't put any scratches on my
new hull?  What am I saying? Where do I need to be to ensure I don't put
any scratches on my helmet?!"
