That when you're driving down the road on a particularly windy day, the traffic light at an intersection snaps loose from the supporting cables and rockets Earthward just as you are rolling serenely beneath it.
The resulting carnage - because you're probably on a scooter or in a gas-efficient tiny SmartCar - is an unrecognizable mess of metal and blood. All intermingled with the fancy yellow paint from the side of the traffic light.

Tweeting Cliffhanger
That when you're writing and tweeting on the iPhone application for Tweetworks, you find a group that's all about people who walk and tweet at the same time. Unfortunately, this discovery coincides with your visit to the Grand Canyon and you become so engrossed in social media tools and items created by Mike Langford that you stroll unawares through the warning signs and over the cabling that guards the edge and plummet to the Colorado River below.

Cat-Eye Cause for Alarm
That whilst you sleep, in a home newly populated by kittens (2), the scratching and rambunctious behavior of these kittens will draw them to your bedroom where they will dance around and on your body moving upward toward your mouth and face. Then, without provocation - because cats are evil - they will each pluck an eyeball from your head and run from the room meowing.

Wing Ding
That when the pilot on the plane says they're just waiting for the mechanical crew to look at a slight issue with the wing, you might find yourself at 30,000 feet watching that same wing float gently away from the body of the plane causing you to plummet to a not-so-soft collision with the earth.

Threshold Black Hole
That while walking back to your hotel room you fumble your key and it bounces once on the rug and then darts under the door to another room in the hall.
Further, that when you dive for the bouncing card you bump your head and can't remember which door your key went under, what room you're supposed to be in, or what you're even doing in Arkansas wearing a swimsuit in the middle of March.

Skin-Ripping Scenario
That when you're done clearing off your car in the frigid depths of winter, you'll reach for the house door handle - metal - and your wet skin will attach itself to said metal door handle. Being frightened by the sensation, you'll jump backward pulling the door with you. The weight of your body and the leverage of your falling torso will yank the door from the hinges. With hand still stuck to the handle, you'll slice yourself open from nose to nether regions and bleed to death on the pristine winter wonderland that is your front yard.

Cord Crippler
That when bringing an old computer monitor to the dump or recycling spot, the cord will protest and wrap itself around your ankles tripping you and tossing you headlong down the granite steps outside your home. In an effort to break your fall you'll let go of the monitor and - similar to the motorcycle daredevil who abandons his cycle only to crash into it seconds later - you'll slice your arms to ribbons when you thrust your arms into the screen. The whole debacle will continue until you and the monitor, entangled in death, roll slowly to the curb where the trash guy will toss you both into the crusher.
