Times you've nearly died...

[wwjdftw]

I have been shot, and have had a huge old 3 level barn collapse on top of me, i still think we should have just torched that fucking barn.

Not sure if it's my only case, but my memory sucks, so I'll stick with it. When I was about 5, I was in that dangerous state between stupid and smart: I absorbed scientific facts like a sponge and understood them, but I didn't have any common sense to go with it. I was also addicted to computers pretty much. So, one day, the computer's unplugged because we had to move something in the room and then move the computer desk back. Sadly, it wasn't plugged in again. It was impossible for someone my size to move it and the angle was too hard to plug it back into it's regular slot. So I look about the room and see the closet, which has quite a few metal coat hangers in it. Struck with "inspiration", I knew even then that metal conducted electricity well, so I took the plug and started tying the coat hangers to it, with the intention of eventually plugging the end of the chain into a wall socket.

Thankfully, my dad walked in on me a hanger or two before I had finished (thank God I started on the plug side, huh?) I'd finished my masterpiece, but yeah. Near death experience (without the trauma anyway).

Plane crash 20 yards away from a tiger cage and the wing was leaking gasoline when I managed to get out.

I almost fell off of the Reading railroad, yes THE reading railroad like in monopoly. I was really little standing on the back porch i guess you could call it of the train while it was stopped. looking over the edge and the train took off and made this way viloent jerk forward and some random guy grabbed me by the back of my oshkosh bgosh overalls (told you i was little) and pulled me back up b4 i ended up skull first on jagged stone coal and iron.

Leaving the railroad tour the backdoor flew open of the winnebago we had at the time and my dad slammed on the brakes thinking i fell out. But really i was in the bathroom and got slammed up against the wall when we came to an abrupt stop and peed all over myself I just liked climbing in and out of the back and never closed it properly. false alarm.

A few weeks later my dad grabbed my arm at a car show before i blindly ran out in front of the original batmobile as it was driving by.

I also tripped over a landing strip repair patch while running around on the Aircraft Carrier "Intrepid" In New York City. stumbling face first into the orange saftey net that acts as a perimeter fence.

I bailed on my bike just as the ground gave way and it tumbled all the way down the sump.

I once got really high with my buds and thought it was a good idea to make Smores...off of a Duraflame log. We all passed from the fumigated marshmellows.

that is all.

Was held up at gunpoint. Almost ODed one time.

What was that like?

Uhh, when I was a baby, crawled out the window on the second story of my house, played on the roof, then went back inside. When I was 9 I got an infection affected my legs so I couldn't walk (I was a paraplegic for a fortnight, and I'm glad I'm not anymore). I was in a car accident at 45 MPh, the other car t-boned us.

My brothers once held me underwater in our pool with a small rubber boat we have,

We were pulling down a really old tree in our yard, I was taking pictures 'cause we had no other pictures of the tree and it was one of the few really old trees left around our house. Anyways, It fell towards me because my brother who was driving the tractor stopped instead of driving off and dragging it away, I didn't notice it was coming towards me because NO ONE WARNED ME and only noticed because the (digital)camera finally finished the last picture.

Our cattle got out and I was looking for them with the four-wheeler and decided to go back to the house, I left the field and got onto the road and started back. I was in a bad mood so I went fast, but the throttle got stuck and I panicked, instead of just turning it off I tried to unstick the throttle by flicking it, I wound up going full speed, about 60 mph into the ditch. Luckily, it was full of snow, and I somehow thought to turn to the right, so I narrowly missed RAMMING into the big metal(telephone?/internet?) box in the ditch.

I was once helping sort cattle when one of them ran right over top of me, barely missing my head with it's hoof.

A horse(Just a yearling really) kicked me in the head.

I've had a lot more that I can't quite remember...

Good thing I know how to quicksave

 

[frank220]

I was in a car accident... OK, i admit that I'm boring. I am slightly deaf from an ear infection from when i was a wee lad, but that's another thread.

 

[Squidwogdog]

my brother gave me 10 dollars to stick a sewing needle ina power outler, it seemed worth it at 8 years old

 

[JAKERS777]

the back of my head got smoked by a truck mirror while he was doing 30km/h lucky for me this wasnt a hit and run he brought me to the hospital, nice fellow.

 

[bluepilot]

I capzised in my canoe and hit my head (the helmet didn`t help.

The canoing teachetr was waiting for me to pop back up so he did not do anything and continued teaching.

In the meantine, I was sitting upsidedown underwater, slightly concussed thinking `it is really pretty here...so much for survival instinct

Finally, my canoe teacher realised that there was something wrong and turned me over.

Apparently, I had turned blue and was bleeding a lot. I did not seem to mind though. Almost drowning was actually quite peacful

 

[The_Chief]

A FEW weeks ago i was riding my bike to my friends house to go to the carnival. now, i was rushing because i had something really important to do when i got there. so i was about to cross a really busy road when i leaned forward on my bike to go. a crosscountry or something came rushing by and if i hadn't moved my head back i would of smashed my head on the car. she was going like 50 in a 35 anyways. but i turned and nailed my bicep on the car mirror, shattering it and bending the holder

I have died before apparently I become so dehydrated that my heart stopped, they thought my mom had done something to me. But they brought me back ran some tests and they found out I was just extremely sick. I spent a few days in the hospital and got better.

I was little when it happened my temp spike to 110 and on the way to the hospital they had me covered in ice packs.

technically dying is when your body cease's to be able to...you know, live
your heart failed for a while but your body endured it, thereby you were still alive...just.

anyway, the time i nearly died was when i lost a good 1/9 of my blood from a rather nasty gash on my forehead and once nearly died in a car crash

 

[TMAN10112]

A few years ago I fell through the net of a trampoline (the net was strong, but the zip-ties holding it up..........not so much) and hit the back of my head on a jagged rock, leaving me with a large gash on the back of my head.

If I had landed 2 inches farther, the rock would have torn right into the back of my neck.

 

[smiddyhawk]

I nearly got frozen in the Arctic circle at midnight when we weren't given the hotel key (in the middle of nowhere) luckily my brother had his phone and we called the manager and he gave us a key. Also, this isn't me but in Egypt our taxi driver ran over a little 7-8 year old, broke her arm. And my friend slipped and cut his mouth open and you can still see the stitches on his mouth. And I was in a car crash, i was in the passenger seat and that's exactly where the car hit us.

 

[Cama Zots]

bitten by a rattle snake. I blacked out, but I was later told they had to air lift me out with a helicopter.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

Bit by a copperhead

Hit by a car doing 30 mph, only bruises oddly.

Fell 30 feet, straight down out of a tree, only got a hairline fracture in my left leg.

While longboarding, wiped out on a huge hill doing about 40 mph, and nearly was hit by a truck, I swerved, missed the truck, plowed into a pothole. Broke my arm in three places.

I've had one of my best friends choke me a few years ago. I was bored, so me and a few friends were sitting in my basement and I was annoying him for fun. Next thing I knew, he had shoved me down on the ground and was squezing my neck. Meanwhile, one of my friends was about 10 feet away, and was too busy with his DS to actually notice that I was being choked. Thankfully, he let go of my neck before I got knocked unconcious. Today, he's still one of my best friends.

 

[Magus44]

I'm boring. When i was young I was playing with a Swiss army knife and I sliced a huge gash in my finger, in a house that was unattended. I lost alot of blood.
Rushed to hospital with friends for alcohol poisoning. But that was more of a risk to my friend who had a crappy liver.
Almost crashed a couple of times, but have always avoided them somehow.
No bites, breaks, gun wounds etc. Watch something bad happen tomorrow...
