I always felt it was >!way too over the top to actually shoot her. Uncle Jack had got his point across already, just by showing Jesse he could do it. Shooting her in plain view introduced the risk of being witnessed. Plus keeping her alive would keep her as leverage against Jesse. I know they threatened to kill Brock next but who knows where Brock would end up.!<

Probably that time I almost drowned in a pool as a kid because I was dumb enough to go down a water slide before I knew how to swim

Or that time I broke my leg in a skiing accident. That could have gone way worse if the angle was a little different

Or that time I was really sick, fainted and fell flat on my back about an inch away from a wooden table. Again, if the angle was just slightly different, that could have been way worse

I've also narrowly avoided countless car accidents

In chemistry lab we were learning electrolysis of water, the process turns them into oxygen and hydrogen. We had a beaker of water with anode and electrode in it. There was a function generator of low voltage and we’re supposed to plug the cables into it for current supply. There was also an outlet on the side of the sink table, providing 220V 60Hz AC voltage.

I plugged the two cables into the outlet. (Human safety voltage is 15V AC)

The beaker of water started boiling with gas and sparks coming out, the beaker jumped up a couple inches and spilled a lot, as I quickly pulled the cables out.

I didn’t tell anyone, only my deskmate witnessed this so I continued the lab session like nothing happened but I’m pretty sure it could gone really wrong.
