I was being an idiot one day throwing cherry tomatoes into my mouth and one got stuck in my throat so I couldn't breath, scariest 5 seconds of my life! Those 5 seconds felt like 10 mins though.

While driving home from work a couple winters ago, the minivan to my right started spinning on the ice, so I twitched my car a fraction to the left. Just as he barely cleared my right mirror, I heard a car horn, and when I looked to my left, I could see my face reflected in the black paint of a jacked-up 4x4 diesel truck. The minivan actually managed to avoid hitting me or the retaining wall and somehow ended up pointing the right way, and I didn't touch the truck, but the step-up-bar on the truck was about the height of my car's door handle.

Coincidentally, I'd just got a brand new pair of all-season radials on the car 20 minutes earlier, while on the way home from work ; that was the only reason I was driving on roads that were slicker than greased goose-shit.

No. I haven't even broken a bone.
Same here. I've never even had stitches. The worst I've probably ever gone was getting a scratch deep enough to make a scar.

Well, actually, I have slid in the bathroom and fell into the tub, I wasn't hurt but I could've been. Also, I slid in the garage, fell back, and banged my head. Could've been worse, but I didn't even get a concussion.

Lucky, lucky...lucky...

I tripped over and thankfully landed on my sister was walking infront of me, who promptly fell over, cushioned my fall and fractured her skull. I was uninjured though. Go me!

I don't really remember much, but I was once KO'd on a sailing dinghy, and woke up lying in the hull, with a search and rescue/coastguard helicopter hovering over me. Fun times. Was in hospital for three days, while they made sure I wouldn't die of seconday drowning.

got off the road with my car once (german autobahn, no speed limit), flipped 8 times. but i walked out VIRTUALLY without a scratch. seriously, not even a tiny piece of skin punctured by the glass or something. i checked for lost limbs, but NOTHING. not even bruised, just shaken.

someone up there loves me :D

With this thread title, the first line should not be "im wondering if any of you have had any close shave." But it should use proper grammar.

IRT topic: Yes. We're all moments away from dying and we don't even know it yet. How do you know that the guy you walked past on the street didn't contemplate raping and murdering you? How do you know you didn't just almost trip down the stairs and break your neck?

i've been run over 8 times and twice in one day :S
you should try looking before you cross the road because that's more than bad luck.
it was probably the same car, though.

OT: haven't come close to dying. yay/oh well.

I'm lucky to have lasted five minutes. I wasn't breathing when I was born, and had to be resuscitated.
Fun.

I ODed(not intentionally) and died on the table for a few. Obviously everything turned out all right. I was also in a car accident that,oddly enough, if I had been wearing my seatbelt I probobly would be dead right now.

Closest? When car i was in drove off a road and jumped 4 or so metres down. It landed on wheels, so there was basically no damage.

As you can see, my life is not too dangerous :p

My parents and I were driving along a road cut through a slope in Greece once. It had rained the night before. Long story short, a boulder about the size of a compact car came gamboling down the slope and passed within a foot of the car's roof. If its trajectory was just a bit different, I'd have looked something like steak tartare.

Shit me. You're all nutters.

I once got a paper cut in a paper cut. But that was just ridiculous.
And I get pretty bad menstrual pains, like some one is wringing out my abdomen.
Yeah I threw menstruation out there, deal with it boys.

Yes. Once my father fell asleep while driving.I was sleeping in the back seat, and woke up with my mother shouting and my father dodging a truck.

There was also a time I had an accident on a buggy and hit a metal bar, but I just started bleeding out of my mouth.
