I was climbing a very steep hill once looking for fossils on a beach and it started to give out from under me. I managed to jump into a bush growing out of the side of the hill as I started to slide down though.
At the bottom of the hill there were some very large jagged rocks and I would have picked up a lot of speed before I got down to them.
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.
I was on the toilet...
Im going to stop there.
I stuck three fingers in the socket and turned it on.
I liked the edge of the TV cable thing.
I was 6 and I broke my bed and ordered a new one, in the mean time I had an incredibly bouncy blow-up bed. I was doing somersaults on it and then fucked one up and literally jumped head-first into the wall. Went to hospital, almost broke my neck but I survived :rock:
I was riding down a hill with my sons crappy bike and i realized i had no brakes on but before i could realize that,i was already near the ground at full speed i eventually had to use my boots and i fell off the bike as i watch it fly to nowhere :sigh:
I've had a few nasty accidents while skiing that could have been worse. One time I was stopped at the side of the slope, near the edge of quite a nasty drop and was talking on the phone, some kid went right into me at about 25mph, almost knocked us both off the edge.
Injected with Vancomycin during surgery. Dropped my heart rate too 70/30 and continued too get lower and lower. Almost fell into a coma.
almost drowned to death after swimming to the bottom of a swimming pool and then waking up in hospital, pretty shaky experience.
i almost got hit by a car the other day by some soccer mom texting while driving
Pedal falls off my bike, I overbalance and tip over sideways into the front of a taxi.
Only thing close to dying I have had was at a water park. I went down a slide, and got stuck under the water due to the current the water from the slide was causing. The lifeguard did a pretty good job in saving me though.
Riding my bike, brakes broken suddenly, crash in to girl who just stood there and fucking screamed.
Wanged my face on the handebars, no cosmetic injuries which not even the doctors don't get.
I broke 4 gum sockets and almost lost my 2 front adult teeth.
Everything went black and I also whacked my mouth on the curb.

Similar to this, but the force of falling pretty fast.
Been elctrocuted, almost fallen off a 40 floor ledge, almost fallen off a ladder (break your neck bro), almost fallen down 8 floor service shaft, does almost count as near death?
Technically I was dead for a small period when I was born, doctors had tents around me and I was hooked up to a shit ton of machines and whatnot, a reporter or something like that trying to take pictures of me and according to my family was asking permission to get a quote if I died. Doctors slowly gave up on me till' one day I seemed to just get better, almost a year later I was allowed to go home with the warning that when I hit a age around 14 to 17 I may go blind or something. Luckily that never happened.
When I was 4 or so there was a new mall that opened up, me and my mom went there and were riding up a escalator, girl at the top of the stairs wasn't paying attention and bumped into me when she walked by pushing me down the up escalator, I tumbled for a good minute before slamming down at the bottom, bleeding like crazy I was rushed to the hospital where they had to fix me up. The woman helped pay for the visit because she felt awful.
Later still went to Oceans of Fun, a waterpark if you couldn't tell, everything was cool. They had these giant plastic animals kids would push around this gigantic pool and everyone would climb on them because, I dunno it was fun for that age. Well the park after a month in got tired of it and anchored them in place with a thick white rope. I was ontop of a shark figure with some random kids playing around when some teens came over and started picking on everyone, they soon flipped the shark, somehow that rope tied itself around my leg and pulled me under, the teens fled and the kids swam off and I was left thrashing like mad at the rope trying to escape, the lifeguard shouting at me to "knock it off" whenever I could get my head above water. I started feeling lightheaded like I was going to pass out, returning to the rope and tugging on it weakly before it gave and I floated to the surface, my mom had to drag me out of the pool and the lifeguard got fired

When you died, was it like constantine?
There was a construction on top of a 10 story building, I was walking by the building, a wrench fell down from the roof, hitting me on the head. Woke up in the hospital a few days later. Skull fractured, had a painful headache for a week or two.

Never saw it, hell don't remember it myself, just going off what my folks told me and the hospital records I saw
was driving around in a boat off the coast of san francisco. I fell off when we made a sharp turn (it was a speedboat) and a shark bit off my foot. almost died from blood loss because the hospital was far away.
having a prosthetic foot is kind of neat though.
When I got banned from facepunch
I got kicked in the chest by a wild horse.
I was sick all week but finally like on Thursday I felt normal. Some where in the afternoon I had to take a huge shit and I mean huge, had been nonstop shitting for like 15 minutes. So I was finally done and stumbled outside the bathroom(didn't flush) extremely light headed and couldn't see shit and barely walk. Made it down stairs and passed out there (I think for 5 minutes). My mom walked to the stairs and literally screamed "What the fuck is that smell!" (but then in Dutch.)
I rarely thought I would die that day.
One time I died.
But then I found out it was boring being dead so I came back to life.
Was riding home on my scoot scoot after work. I was going down this road that I got into an accident on the same scooter just the day before. Some bitch stopped infront of me and I went into the back of her, but that's another story.
I was going down this road faster than usual because I wanted to get home, I was going around 35 - 40, speed limit was 25, but there's usually nobody on this road. So as I'm driving down I reach this spot just before the intersection where there's an open parking lot to my right, at the same spot I hit the chick the day before.
Right when I thought to myself, man it'd be funny if I got into another accident in the same spot, some old guy swung in from the intersection and cut infront of me to go into the parking lot. I was about 20 feet away going 40 and this dude didn't see me at all. So I slammed on my brakes to try and stop before I vaulted over this guys car and into the intersection, but my wheels locked and I went over onto my side.
Now, remember I'm going about 35 - 40 prior to stopping, so after I went down I was sliding on my side with my feet still caught int the scooter across a shitty road littered with gravel going about 20. Shit sucked. Right when I was about to hit the guy I separated from my scooter and slid right underneath his car. Right when I thought the shit was over I look over and I see the dude's wheel rolling towards my head. Apparently he got out of his car in shock and forgot to put his e-brake on despite being on a hill.
So here I am, under this guy's car, with what skin I had on my right side chilling down the road, and I'm about to have a tire slowly crush my head. After a few seconds of me trying to wiggle the fuck out of there the tire got to my fucking [I]nose[/I], I was shitting bricks, but just before it got me the car stopped. My scooter, my beloved scooter, got caught under the back wheels and saved my ass.
Was an eventful day.
Nearly Stepping on an unexploded shell.

Were you in 'nam, IRaq or something?
Almost drowned in a lake when I slipped off a bridge when I was 3. Thank God im not hydrophobic now.
I played musical chairs with death.
He bloody went'n'done threw me off.
One time, I almost made a Post Your thread in GD but I quickly maneuvered my mouse down to Fast Threads and avoided certain doom.
I was once organizing my homework sheets in my binder and got a paper cut. :ohdear:
