A young Ensign decides to try horseback riding, even though he has had no lessons or prior experience. He mounts the horse, unassisted, and the horse immediately springs into action.
As it gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, the Ensign begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, he grabs for the horse's mane, but cannot get a firm grip. He tries to throw his arms around the horse's neck, but he slides down the side of the horse anyway!
The horse gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider. Finally, losing his frail grip, the Ensign attempts to leap away from the horse and throw himself to safety.
Unfortunately, his foot becomes entangled in the stirrup, and he is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves. His head is struck against the ground over and over and over. His head is battered against the ground and mere moments away from unconsciousness.
However, to his great fortune, a Chief shopping at Wal-Mart sees him and unplugs the horse.
