When I was 9 months old my dad accidentally sprayed bleach in my face thinking it was water. I'm permanently blind in my left eye now. I don't blame him for it, though. It was an accident.
Not really near death, but this thread seemed appropriate for this sort of thing.

You'd be suprised, for example, if you drop it, the discharge could send a bullet into you.

Oh Oh i was electrocuted from the mains and only got a 1st degree burn on my hand
1. Almost died from liver cancer when I was a wee one. Chances of survival was around .9% or something.
2. Almost drowned when I was swimming in my aunt's pool when I was six. I don't like to swim now. Of course, if there are people with me then I'm fine.
Caught my finger between a plug and the wall socket, got zapped with 240v mains.
It's certainly not pleasant to have your arm do whatever the fuck it wants, even for half a second.
Got into a head-on collision with a dirt bike whilst riding my dirt bike. My family and a ton of their friends were at the lake for the fourth of July(2009), and we were having fun riding and waiting for the sun to go down. About 30 minutes to an hour after we all got there, My cousin's friend and I were simultaneously coming around a curve on a gravel road, and boom. Broke five bones in my face and two in my arm. The other rider suffered from a shattered arm.

Also, I did have a helmet on, it just wasn't strapped.
One day I was inside our house, talking to a guest my parents had over. Them three were at our kitchen table, talking, and I was getting a snack from the fridge. I look over the table, observing the conversation when I spot one of our trees coming towering down towards, too quick for a reaction. The tree was about 80 feet away, and the top branches tore through some of our gutters and our kitchen window that slightly juts out. Upon further observation, some branches were immovably implanted into the ground. If the tree was 10 feet higher, my parents and probably myself would've been squished.
Fuckin' trees.
When I was little some rowdy teenagers almost hit me with their car, instead they just hit my foot.
adventuring through the woods with my friend, some old guy didn't like the fact the we were on his property (we didn't know it was his) held us at gunpoint with a bigass revolver for about 1/2 an hour, that was it.
Some fuckin' dick hit me straight-on with their car (note I was not in a vehicle myself) while they were doing about 45 KM/H. Shit sucked.
almost drowned in a pool because I jumped in without my floaties, but luckily an adult was supervising us and jumped in and saved me
I hate how most of the stories are idiot things that could have prevented by the poster, or caused by the poster. And they're receiving a ton of Winner's.
I was riding back from New Jersey during an electrical storm, lighting hit a electrical tower the wire snapped and hit my windshield. Bear in mind that the wire that sliced my windshield had enough power running though it to power a mansion for a year and my car was wet.

We were supposed to walk on a pre-made path, instead we took the wrong turn (ther wasn't one) and we pretty much walked on a 0,5 metre ledge for half a mile, and I almost slipped.
*Page King*
I was in a friends car in the back seat and I was in the middle of a sentence, when a truck smashed right into my door. I smashed my head into the window, and after were were done spinning me and one of my other friends got out, walked into taco bell, decided we didn't want taco bell, walked across the street to jack in the box, ordered food and watched my friends mom deal with the cops. The looks we got from people were fucking priceless. We'd looked as if nothing had happened.

and then bam i have hole in my leg
Jogging up a mountain on a Nordic Trail in Eichstaet, Germany while it was raining and slipped and fell sliding on the slippery wet rocks and was about to fall off a cliff to a good 40 clear drop to more rocks but luckily my friend that was with me caught me.........I seriously almost shat my pants.
Worst injury wise i broke my leg whilst skiing, apparently the bone splintered like bamboo, nasty stuff.
Closest to death wise i was riding my bike when i was about 8 and the front wheel tripping on a curb, i went flying over the handlebars head first into a brick wall.
Probably when I was around 6-7. I was at my father's friend's beach house and went swimming. I didnt have any kind of flotation device on and went out a bit too far into the water. I couldnt swim well at the time either so did whatever I could to stay afloat. Eventually someone swam out to get me. The only visual memory I have of it was seeing my dad rush down the wooden stairs to the beach. Shit sucked but it never gave me any fear of the ocean or anything.
[QUOTE=b0b0;25734975]umm... Got slamed into a glass wall when i was like 7.Went head first into a metal spring that's as close as i got to death

:irony:
A few months after i was born i spent 3-4 weeks in hospital with a major disorder (forget what it was) and i had the most serious case of it, not expected to survive but i did. (Thank you to Toronto Sick kids hospital)
Another time i was camping, we were playing manhunt and i saw a tree down a small hill, well when i started going down i slipped on some leaves and began sliding down this kinda steep hill into a creek full of rocks, i was able to grab a tree and stop myself and climb back up.
[QUOTE=Evilan;25702237]I was standing alongside my house with a friend. He was sitting next to the wall that encompassed it. He leaned against part of it that wasn't fully attached and it came crashing down on me. I barely managed to avoid it, but it still pinned my right hand between it and another part of the wall. My friend rushed up and helped me push it off.
Luckily, I only fractured my hand that day instead of getting crushed.[/QUOTE]
Are you mexican? Because that sounds like exactly what I did with one of my friends 4 years back/

REPOST.
Almost drowned when I was little. Some fat guy rammed into me on the lazy river and I went under. Due to the fact it was packed I was constantly knocked about and the current wouldn't let me get back up. Luckily my dad pulled me out of the water!
Some guy almost hit me today while I was driving.
I attempted to dive on my first time swimming, turned over and almost drowned.
[QUOTE=Kill001;25840587]Do you get to wear a cool eyepatch though?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. I have that long red wavy hair, and when I wear the patch I look like a pirate. :v:
Usually I don't wear anything or I wear sunglasses. Only on some occasions will I wear the patch.
Choked on an ice cube.
