I was on the archery range one day and I saw an arrow 7 yards from impaling my chest so I managed to catch it with my free hand. (Caught it right above the tip but then shacked myself in the face with the knock as I snapped the tip down)

Camping one time I decided to go for a walk along the beach and climb a cliff. Near the top I was pretty tired. Stopping for a rest, I put both my arms on top of an ants nest. I basically had two options:
1. Freak out and let go due to the pain and fall onto the jagged rocks below, and probably be there for a while as I didnt tell anybody where I went and I was alone. Or,
2. Drink a cup of concrete and harden the f@#k up.
I'm still here, so I guess it's pretty obvious I chose option number 2.
Incidentally, when I got to the top, I thought it would be a good idea to take the easy way down...
Unfortunately a couple decided it was remote enough that no one would see them whilst they "had a bit of fun." So I then walked the long way round the headland. It wasnt very pleasant, but I feel it's a pretty awesome achievement.

Nope... not that I can think of... a few accidents, like car crashes, broken bones etc. but nothing that could kill me...
I'm too tough for that...

Never broken a bone.
Worst pain experienced was attempting a backflip in gymnastics and landing on my arm in ways it should never bend causing a major sprain.
Closest to death was probably getting side-swiped by a speeding car while riding my bike. Bike took most of the hit from the car but I was sent flying towards the pavement. Luckily I was able to react fast enough (thanks adrenaline) to get my self into a position to hit the ground rolling with my head protected so as to disperse most of the impact. Then I got up and continued on my way to work. Although I later noticed a nice open wound on my side that started bleeding through my shirt.
And I've been electrocuted a few times but nothing I'd consider to be life threatening.

Umm, I crashed my dirt bike once, my brakes failed when I was going quite fast, I honestly couldn't say the speed though. Managed to slow down a bit by sliding, threw me off the bike and I blacked out. Only some scratches, bruising and a slight concussion and I was fine, though I did need to get my back checked for injuries. Just shows how important the proper gear is.
I also was stabbed in the shoulder by some junkie trying to get their fix, but it was hardly life threatening, I mean I am sure I would have died if I just sat there bleeding, but nothing a trip to the doctor would not fix, hurt like a ***** though of course.
So those being my two closest experiences I am pretty happy, they both turned out fairly well.

I got so wasted out of my head. I apprently died that night. I just fell on the floor and stopped moving.
Same but I did find out that while resting my heart beats around 49 BPM. ALso, once I concentrated really hard, like meditating and the whole bit and i swear my heart stopped for a small section of time.robert632 said:

I've never so much as broken or sprained a bone, but I saw a kid about my age on a bike get hit by a huge 1980s Cadillac when I was about 15 years old. It was by far the most surreal moment of my life, I didn't believe what I had just seen.
There was a sickening noise and he flew well over 25 feet. His shoes were knocked off from the impact and he tried to get up but couldn't, he was missing nearly all his teeth and bleeding bad from his face.
Luckily it happened just down the block from the fire department so paramedics got there in less than 2 minutes. I never heard anything and it was a pretty affluent suburb so I think it would have been big news if he died or was permanently messed up.

Thank god I have respawns. That was a shitty attempt at humor I know. On topic I have almost drowned a couple of times, that's about it.
Good lord, that did make me chuckle. I'm really sorry if it wasn't supposed to :-|slowpoke999 said:
Suppose I got pneumonia when I was 4, its left loads of scars on my lungs - they come out with huge streaks of black in them in X-rays. Other than that, never broken a bone (well, apart from my toe. Which I broke walking down the stairs and accidently kicking my steel-toe capped safety shoes. Ironic eh?)
