Three days in ICU after a routine operation, because I had an anaphylactic shock due to an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic.

AND the glorious incident when I thought it was a great idea to go hiking in the hills when the heaviest thunderstorm of the last years was announced. A lightning struck into a tree 10 meters away from me. I maybe wasn't near death. but it scared the hell out of me.

Once when I was 6, some kid came over and stole my pizza.  My Dad wacked him so hard with his walking stick and stepped on his ankle to break it.  I got back my pizza...  the other kid was like the same age as me though. 

 

If you wondering why he would do such a thing...  He was a sick alcoholic, so that's why lol.

 

I felt like I wanted to kill myself.  I had a knife to my throat and has almost cut it.  I still feel like crying out of embrassasment today.

It's probably never the one you think off but let's see what I thought were close calls

 

1) Had a mini stroke. 

 

2) Crashed the car into a telephone pole, totaled it and it I hadn't hit the breaks in time I would have definitely hit head on on the driver's side instead of the passenger's.

 

3) Somebody I was with was being closely watched by some drug dealer types and were likely closed to taking her and myself out but being broad daylight in a bar I think helped and I apparently was not followed by them when I left.

- 4 different motorbike accidents at 80+ Kph; without helmet (2 broken legs, one broken arm and a dislocated shoulder, and lots and lots of bruises)

- One car accident, i was going home and some drunk asshole decided to run a red light, all i remember was a seeing a car in my left then i woke up in the hospital, later i saw what was left of the car, a pile of metal and plastic, police said it was technically impossible for me to survive lol. Car insurance refused to pay over 60% of the cars price, bought the same Picanto  :wub:

 

Bonus : one day i was walking back to my car after buying cigarettes, i pulled out my phone to answer a call when two assholes on a motorbike got out of nowhere and almost cut my hand while grabbing the phone, i got into my car and chased them down the streets, they were going way past the speed limit so i decided to run them over, i waited for them to look back at me then i shortshifted and plumetted into them like a train, they slammed into the ground head first and i nearly missed a parked truck, I took a metal knuckle with me in case and got out to take my phone, bastard had like 4 iphones in his pocket ..

I jumped out of an airplane 7 times. Twice at 9800 ft. Everything went fine, but its one of those "you gotta do something before you die" situations. Never needed the reserve. Im ok with that.

2 Main ones I can think of

 

1- We were on holiday somewhere (Canary islands maybe? idk) and a massive storm rolled in while were we on the beach. Since we were wet from swimming anyway we decided to stay in the water after the massive waves started rolling in

 

We were diving into the waves (I would say 10ft high) or swimming under them and watching them swirl over head, it was beautiful!

 until

I get dragged underwater in a big current, my snorkel and goggles go flying so I am completely blind, I get dragged to the bottom of the sea sliding along the bottom in the sand and rocks and get dragged out for a good 30/40 seconds, I kick hard, reach the surface choking on water to see the beach is like the size of an ant

 

I somehow managed to swim back  in

 

2 - Did the mongol rally (Drove from England to Mongolia) and when we were in Mongolia I decided to sit on top of the car as we drove through the desert at like 70mph. We had a spare wheel on the bonnet that made a great seat. I sat on this as the driver (cant remember who) got the car goinga s fast as possible (easily over 60) Then they braked hard....

 

I must have flown a good 20/25m through the air before skidding along the dirt, my raybans went flying like 50m across the floor

 

I stood up completely unhurt and decided it was my turn to drive

 

We also played bumper cars that day too (I think we had lost it tbh)

That second one, that must have been one hell of a sight.

It was sort of spur of the moment though (and we were all going stir crazy)

When I was 4 or 5 a Rottweiler tore up my shoulder, couple inches to the left and it would've been my throat. 

 

Also sitting through Titanic at the age of 8 nearly bored me to death.

Was choking on a piece of bread (pretty much a long piece of crust that had gone down my throat whole) and I eventually had to reach down my throat and pull it out whole, whilst struggling to breath.

 

The worse part was that it was at lunch and no-one did anything and started laughing because they didn't know what was going on and I had the composure to save myself, otherwise I'd have fallen to the floor

I was shot at by a home invader, right in the right lung, I was in the ICU for 2 weeks. Luckily, made a speedy and full recovery.

Holy mother of fuck! How are you not in some sort of therapy after that? That's terrible. Good thing you're feeling well :)!

Sry mate, but you are rather dumb or an adrenalin junkie. Everyone who didn't at least wears a helmet when he/she is driving his/her motorbike isn't far from death anyways.

when i was younger living in Trinidad,  watching Ninja Warrior on G4 (this was before they made that murican ninja warrior).... My friend and I were running from his little brother and playing around and we hopped over this wall multiple times until i hopped over only to have my hand slip on a patch of moss. I was falling on my side so i was able to see where i was falling.I was about to fall on a rusty metal sticking from the ground.  I somehow entered the matrix and was able to shift my body so it only hit me on the side. I had a tiny gash on my side of my torso. It knocked the wind out of me but luckly i had my ghetto doctor (my friend)  who luckly had a med kit with stuff...soooo all i have left from that is a scar and a story that i laugh at all the time because I love crazy shit.

Well...

I almost drowned when I was a kid, almost got hit by a car - luckily I jumped to the side instead of just staring at it (you know like in the movies), Tomahawk missile flew a couple of metres above the building where I live during NATO bombing of my country - fun times. :D

Woah what country?
