I had a rat run across the roadway and attempt to jump through my front wheel. It was launched about 6 feet in the air. This all seemed to go in slow motion...I'm watching it as it's falling. It's tail is spinning like a rotor on a helicopter. The damn thing lands right on my left thigh. The guy I'm riding with is yelling "holy sh*t, holy sh*t" repeatedly. I'm shaking my leg trying to get it off and it's hanging on for dear life. I finally shook it off, but ended up with scratches from it's nails. Ended up getting a tetnus shot in the ER
