In what situations, have you been real close to getting killed? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I once got knocked over by a car. I just flew up into the air a coupla feet, landed on my feet, and ran off. I guess that's the nearest. |
||||||||

|
|
is that the nearest? You were able to run off, dude. |

Last month, I was on an open air bus in Spain and I stood up to get off at my stop - and there was a fucking cable hanging between two poles which nearly decapitated me! I hit the floor like a vietnam flashback and washed my pants out in the nearest latrine |

So many things have happened to me... Like I ride my bike around for several weeks without breaks (and I ride real fast). This was just outside the core of the city, so there was a lot of traffic. At some moments I couldn't stop the bike, and just went on into the traffic. I was close to get hit several times, but yeah, I survived. Also, earlier this year I was really wasted (had been on a great party!) and the fire alarm went off in the building where I live, and I didn't wake up. Everybody else ran out, but I just stayed asleep. If the fire had actually been on I might not had made it. This is nothing compared to e.g. Jarworski, but these moments scared me. |

a friend of mine actually did and survived, aint that something |

Did they manage to get the chute to work at all? Or did they hit the ground without any protection? :O |
||||||||
|

he managed to get the chute a bit open, it was all tied up. he survived firstly because he was in a good condition from sports, and secondly from the untiding: he didn't see the ground coming and was relaxed therefor. they fixed him up pretty good afterwards, only has some strang insides and big scar on his stomach |

I hesitate to mention this due to Gigingers thread, I hope it causes no offence. I was convinced I was going to drown once. I was surf canoeing once while my brother and his mate were surfing further along the beach. I had a yak deck spray deck on which is basically neoprene like a wetsuit- very hard to tear. I got capsized by a very fast wave in shallow water and winded by having my head and torso slammed against the bottom. Normally I would have just pulled the spray deck off, but I had accidentally tucked the rip off cord inside the spray deck. I was out of air and fumbling for the cord for about 10-15 seconds before realising it wasn't there. Somehow I found the strength to punch through the spray deck, tearing the fabric along the seam before I blacked out. I got out and fell over into the water when I tried to stand up. A bystander ran up and checked I was okay and ran off to get my paddle while I recovered. It hasn't put me off watersports (no sick jokes please...) and I swim in the sea regularly, but it did remind me to treat the sea with the respect it deserves. |

i nearly died of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning a few years ago because i didn't know what was bothering me. i laid down for hours with a fierce headache and had my mom not come in and agreed that there was something weird going on in the house i might've died in my sleep overnight. sometimes i feel like i'm going to die in a carcrash but it hasn't happened yet. DC drivers can be very unsafe but i guess not as bad as NY. |

Me and my cousins used to be big adventurers, much to our parents' dismay, and we once found ourselves on the edge of a giant cliff. We would have been smashed to bits on the rocks below, but we shimmied away like pros. I've also almost drowned several times... I'm 20 and I can't swim one stroke. I can't float either, I must be made of strange materials. |

you must not have any salt in your body! makes sense if you're a vampire >=o)> i've had several close brushes, but i think most people have. you could be minding your own business and bad things can happen. BECAREFULOUTTHERE!! |

Doctors gave me penicillin for a bronchial infection when I was 10 months old... I'm allergic to penicillin... I was lucky... *Phew!* O-o |

when i was about 2 years old - or less - dont really remember - i fell into my pool. noone found me for about 20 minutes - and when they did i was purple. all over. the ambulance barely made it in time - and i was pretty much dead - but somehow - i managed to be revived - and here i am today :) |

when i was four i took penicillin for some kind of infection and had an allergic reaction to it in a mall. would have died on the way to the hospital if my dad weren't such an agressive driver. |

oh yeah, i forgot. i was in the upper peninsula of michigan out trekking with my uncle when we ran into a black bear. we got chased quite aways before literally walking into some random persons house. they were having dinner with their family, so it must have been weird seeing a kid and some big guy burst through their door. |

I've almost had a heart attack once when I had a lot fo amphetamines topped by smoking a lot of ice I freaked out over somethnig and my heard went ridiculously fast for a long time and I was sweating etc etc etc It was actually worse than it probably sounds. A couple of months ago I'd had too much (similar stuff again) and went psychotic for about 17-24 hours. Was convinced for a while that I had broken ym brain and wasn't coming back. Also got drunk and went on a mate's trampoline once and jumped realy high off it and landed on my head. Everyone freaked out coz it was pretty nasty but it didn't really hurt at all and I got back up and started drinking again. Uhh I've done this ind of shit to myself a bunch of times, but I can't remember most of them off the top of my head. |

When I was Five, I did a rolie-polie on the sofa after dinner and started choking on the bread I'd just eaten.... it really got jammed. I could breathe a little but there was no0one around to help me out because my mum popped outside. Strange feeling, trying breathe in enough air every breath. I feel for people who suffer from Asthma. |

I have a somewhat similar story. I was five and almost chocked to death, on a Life Saver ironically. |

ive hung off towers for a laugh, cycled into cars, had incredibly severe alcohol poisoning, allergic reactions that have stopped my breathing, gotten myself almost drowned in big waves at the beaches more times than i can remember, almost lost control of a car at 150kph, nearly overdosed from opiates, the list goes on :) its all a laugh in retrospect, but damn spooky to think about it too hard.. |
