    I would just stay on, scream, laugh, and have fun.

    I would probably stay on, I'd be too, like "OMYGOD WAAAHHH" too jump out, I may try to slow it down with arms... And if there were people, I'd tell them to run away! I'd then brace for impact :P

    now this is again something very much determined by the veichle I was on. I have done something similar to this on Barnet Hill in a shopping trolley (3 mile long straight stretch of road, very big hill. Infact the highest point between London and York) I stayed in yelling at people to move their ass out of my way and all the while shifting my weight in an effort to steer it. I found by slamming my weight to the side violently in the trolley I could make it turn 45 degrees in that direction...this however did not let me steer the trolley. My ride came to an end after almost getting hit by a car and crashing in to a curb/kerb (the granite slabs they use to edge the roads with) I smashed in to that and got thrown from the trolley it hurt like hell to land on the pavement still I went all floppy in the crash for some reason and although it looked bad it didn't do any serious harm, minor concussion and cuts with a lot of bruising was all I sustained apparently the driver that almost killed me had to go hospital for shock. I had been thrown down the hill in the trolley by some idiots who thought it would be funny to throw a guy in black in a shopping trolley down a major road (it used to be the A1 btw till they re-routed that) at night.

    I'd be sure the cart fell apart whilst speeding downhill, and then subsequently crash into a tree - impaling me firmly upon said tree due to a broken part of the cart.

    I wold then laugh and then take a very long, needed nap.

    I need more information to properly assess the situation. How steep is this hill? What exactly am I riding in? What is the purpose of riding down this hill? Am I doing it for fun? No reason? Science? Am I wearing any sort of protective gear during this trip? What sort of object is waiting for me at the bottom of the hill?

    Depending on the grade of the hill, I am either going very slow or very fast. This is detrimental in my decision to ride it out or flee from whatever I am riding in. If I am riding in something that has a covering, I would wait it out as opposed to if I was riding in something like a shopping cart, which has no protection offered. If this was for fun, I may ride it out depending on the other factors that are going into this.

    The last two sort of tie in together. Were I wearing some sort of protective padding and the end of this hill was, say, a sharp turn with a curb that I was going to hit, I would wait it out and try my luck at landing in the least likely way to injure myself. If I weren't wearing padding and the hill just went straight into, say, a road, I would ride it out. Now, if I had no padding and it was a curb, I would also wait it out because cement is rougher than dirt and grass, more likely to cause injuries.

    Which reminds me, what type of hill is it? Street-type, grass-type, or just a dirt hill?

    I would have a deep philisophical conversation with my stuffed tiger and the we'd hit a ramp and go in the lake.

    I'd stay in there and scream. I'd be too traumatized to do anything else.
