I've had two.
For the first one, I was about eight. When I ran, I ran bent over, head thrust out in front of me. Me and all the other kids at school would frequently cut throught the trees rather than taking the footpath. That meant appearing several metres away from the zebra crossing, where the cars could see you. I ran out, head first, into the traffic, whilst one of the teachers was speeding by. He tried to stop, but he was moving too fast. Somehow, I managed to get out of the way, but not in time to stop his wing mirror from clipping my face. I went spinning to the other side of the road, and blacked out for about two minutes. When I came too, he was freaking out. Not about the fact that he'd hit me, of course, he was worried he'd get sued. He refused to let me leave until I promised I wouldn't sue. I then proceeded to walk home(the school was across the road from my cul-de-sac).
The second isn't such a long winded and badly told story, but I'll manage a way to make it so. I got Cryptos Sporidium when I was about ten, and spent about a month throwing up and feeling like shit. The worst part is, the effects didn't hit me until I was on a camping trip half way across the country with the family. Trust me, being hit with unimaginable thirst whilst in a field, miles away from the nearest water source, makes you feel like you're stranded on an island. The rest of the family was surviving off of coke and lemonade, anything other than water made me want to throw up. My mother cooking sausages in the morning was murder. Also, having explosive diarrhea and throwing up every couple of minutes is made ten times worse when there's no toilet for miles.
There we go. I didn't even know the second one was a near death experiance until about a year back. I could sue the landlord and landlady of the house we lived in, since I got the Cryptos Sporidium because they didn't dig the well deep enough, but I'm against sueing unless it's to prove a point or bring attention to a situation.
