Probably that time a fireplace fell on my head. Don't ask.
When I was 6, I almost drown in a swimming pool. I saw the ten foot deep sign and told my mom, but she said "It'll be fine". Dumbass.
I was walking with my friends to the local gas station when a shady car passed by. All of a sudden I hear 3 loud pops. Everything went black after that, I woke up and I was bleeding all over. The hospital was very close and my friends helped me get there. I opened the door, got on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur.
Once I was driving out in the boonies at night, and my car lost traction and ran in to a pole. Turns out that pole was the only thing that kept me from falling off a 40 foot cliff.
Was pulling my dads car with my golfcart, he recently got the car painted and we were heading back to the trailer to put it back in. Before going on the main road his friend runs to help direct me and goes a little ahead. He spots a car coming at around 130kph, the bitch was supposed to be doing 50kmph. Anyways he tells me to stop and I do so around 10 feet from the car as it zooms by. If he hadn't been there that car would have blown me to smitheroones.

I almost got hit by a rocket in Iraq. It landed a few feet in front of the mens restroom I was inside about 30 minutes before that. If I had decided to rub one out after I had finished dropping the kids off at the pool, I'd have bit it that night.
1. Age 5 I jumped into a 6 ft pool and drowned, then my aunt's dog started barking like crazy, my brother just came from school and pulled me out. 2. 7 years later I was riding a jeep, made a tight turn and the jeep kept flipping and flipping and I crashed into a mechanic's garage and broke his motorcycle. What almost killed me was my mom. With her eyes...
When I was twelve I went to a pool. My friend said "Go to the deep end, it'll be fine". So I walked slowly. Once I was there I thought Wow. This is great. Then I sunk, water went into my nose and I swallowed alot of it. Then I vomited in the pool and it had to be closed for 2 hours.
When I was 11, I was swimming in the sea, and an idiot surfer decided to leave the designated surfing area and managed to collide with the back of my head and knock me out. I woke up in the lifeguards arms on the beach. And another time, I was on a school exchange program to holland and a group of us decided to cycle into town. A speeding car knocked the front wheel off my bike as I was coming out of an alley, which cause massive sparks. Legs got burnt and a few scratches, but nothing was broken, I was really lucky.
When I was 3 years old I think, I was playing on a big rock and fell, dropped about 12 feet then smacked my head on another rock.
Sliced open by foot in a murky river with a broken piece of glass and kept it a secret for several hours.
[QUOTE=coolrider102;25702483]Injected with Vancomycin during surgery. Dropped my heart rate too 70/30 and continued too get lower and lower. Almost fell into a coma.[/QUOTE] Last year at school I randomly got a 70/30 heart rate. It was weird, everything was black and purple, I was about to collapse and i almost passed out. The school nurse said I was lucky to make it accross the school to the nurse. It's not near death but it's a scary experience. Weird thing is, this kind of thing happens every year to me, sometimes my blood pressure gets really low, sometimes I randomly pass out, other times I just don't feel right.
When I was young I came close to drowning a few times. Once was when I was like 4, and at a resort with a waterpark with my mum and dad, and my mum and dad would usually carry me, I decided to go in o my own, and I started to drown and panic, tapping myself up with my feet. Then my dad caught me just in time. Another was when I was like 6, I was playing with a kindergarten friend we were playing on either a very large pool or a beach, forget. Anways, we started to see how far deep we could go, and eventually we got to the point where we could go, and the drift took us further. At this point we were pushing each-other into the water (Selfish as I am, I pushed him down much more) this continued for quite a while until we were noticed.
I rode my bike into a tree once when I was like 5. I saw it coming for about 10 seconds and was just thinking whether I should move or not when I crashed, luckily nothing awful happened but I could've broken my pancreas or something :ohdear:
I got shot through the arm, after going through my arm it put a hole in my shirt on the left side by my heart, then burned the back of my left arm. If I had been leaning forward it would've gone into my chest. It was pretty bomb.
Slipping off the ledge of a cliff while on a hiking trip, and hitting my back on a rock that thankfully was easy to grip onto so I wouldn't fall to my death. I climbed back up and the rocks slipped. I grab onto the ledge and thank [insert religious leader here] there was someone to pull me up.
I got some kind of proper dehydration once and had to go on a drip for a few days that's p much it
i was about 5, my cousin said he would teach me how to swim and pushed me into the pool. then he just stood there while i drowned until my mom and aunt noticed and went to help me.
Was riding down a road and since it was a slope, I started going too fast and I fell off my bike and started rolling down the hill and I hit my head multiple times and the doctor told me if I didn't move my neck like I did while I was falling down, I would've snapped my neck. And in October, I had pneumonia and went to the hospital, heart was hurting because of no oxygen and lungs were killing me, found out if I didn't go that day, most likely I wouldve died.
I think I was 10 or 11 years old when I was taking a shortcut across the railroad to my friend's place. I looked left and right and saw nothing so I started walking right across when I heard the hissing of an incoming train from the rails. I got scared shitless and got over as fast as I could. The train came by just a few seconds after and my pulse went skyhigh when I realised how close it was.
I tripped onto the road, onto my back like a turtle. For the only time I can remember in my life, I did a roll off the road before the car hit me.
Was just last summer at a condo pool in Indian Rocks Beach, FL. Some jackass, no older than 17, decided it would be funny to try drowning me. Might have only been thirty seconds long but god, it felt like fucking forever thanks to some other guys in the pool who said to break it up. I got the hell out of the pool and minutes later, he got hit square in the nuts with a football. God, I was afraid to leave the condo the rest of the day.

I was hunting not to long ago and I had the bright idea to climb this cliff to get a better view of a valley with my dad waiting at the bottom of it, when I was about 60 feet up and this cliff had a near vertical face with some roots and other plants growing out. I tried to get a small ledge that would've been easy to sit in but I happened to step upon a small outcrop of shale+limestone and that gave way resulting in me falling about 10-15 feet until hitting a small little tree which pretty much saved my life.
Oops, forgot to post mine. I almost got ran over once when I stupidly walked in front of a moving car without looking. Never did that again. Also I was around seven when I swam under this huge floating golf course in this pool, I overestimated my swimming skills and realized I couldn't make it across. I just kinda was frozen with fear and I almost passed out. Then my brain started working again and I made it to the other side. I avoided the pool for the rest of the day. Very lame, I know, but hey, at least I'm not dead.
[QUOTE=SlickBlade;27007530]The feeling of shock blocks out pain. Its why people crash their cars or bikes in a instant, and don't feel the pain for at least 10 seconds.[/QUOTE] When I crashed on a dirt bike, I didn't feel any pain for minutes until I looked at my really fucked up arm on the way to the hospital.
