Climbed a 40 foot tree, lost grip and fell partially before grabbing a branch with my hand while falling.
[QUOTE=Superstormj;25739080]It's alright. I'm just a crazy SOB ever since that happened. If I want to end my life, I'll do it myself, hence the armor plating, so someone can't decide for me. Hmm... It's only 2:50 AM, but when it gets light outside, I'll take a picture of the dent a car left when it T-Boned mine at 40 mph. It looks like just a hard shopping cart hit on mine, but his car was totaled. :haw:[/QUOTE] Are you Sean Casey with the Tornado Intercept Vehicle? Anyhow, when I was roughly six, I cracked my head open at a playground, got glued back together because the gash wasn't that bad. Nearly had a concussion.
Almost drowned, I actually almost gave up at one point. Then I remembered the life I would be missing and my adrenaline kicked in and I swam as fast and hard as I could so the undertow couldn't grab me farther.
I was in a quiet suburb back in england. Me and my friends were just chilling. And 3 random people pulled us to a wall and pulled guns to our heads. I kneed the guy who had me on the wall in the balls and quickly aided my mates. We ran quick. Im lucky he didn't pull the trigger on me or my mates.
I was in a car wreck, my friend sitting next to me died from the collision. I have no idea why I am still alive, but it sucks. I was 12 when this happened by the way I didn't kill him accidentally or anything, it was his dumbass step-brother.
Two of my friends racing down a main street, I was in one of their cars. We were going about 90 when we hit a red light at an intersection, my friend made a [b]sharp[/b] right turn, and right at the right moment. My other friend was carrying some other kids in his car, giving them a lift to the liquor store. Right after that, they all ran out of the car screaming. If my friend didn't turn right then, it would have been horrible for everybody in both cars and horrible for everybody around us. In other words, my friends are horrible drivers. We're pretty lucky.
There was that time I flipped over my bikes handle bars and landed on the road. Or that time recently when me and my friends we in town and nearly got hit by a bus, a car, and the same car again.
Also there was another time i got into a huge motherfucking car accident. I was knocked out. I woke up with blood running down my forehead. I thought i was dead for a few minutes. Until i heard the jaws of life opening my car doors. I got up and felt like nothing happend. It was scary and weird. I can still feel the blood running down my face
There was one time when I was younger, and I got this collectible coin from the History Channel for free in the mail, and I sat it on my desk. While I sitting in my chair at my desk, I slumped down and had my head about the same height as the desk, I yawned, and inhaled the coin. I choked for a good minute, ran downstairs to get help, my parents panicked, and then all of the sudden I threw up, out of breath with a soggy coin on the kitchen floor. My parents refuse to believe this story for some reason.

Was walking across a crosswalk during winter, so there was ice all over the road and nearly got hit by a van, i had to do a fucking combat roll to the left to avoid getting hit. Also was almost crushed by a car on a lift that was failing.. I love my schools shitty budget for its auto-tech course
For me it's either almost falling into freezing waters in the middle of the winter, had I fallen in I'd have no where to go because the ice was more like a cliff about 5 feet high. Or, getting into a knife fight. Both times I was scared, and both times I was able to walk away without a scratch. Fuck you death.
When I was little, I had this trampoline. I was jumping on it one day and I decided to do a front flip off of the tramp. We lost the spring guards about 3 weeks before, so we didn't have them on. So I was jumping, and getting ready to do this awesome flip and I slip on the tramp and fly forward while rotating. My head got caught [b]IN THE FUCKING SPRINGS[/b] and I flipped around. Luckily, the EXACT angle that I flipped at made my head just slip right out of them without a scratch, but if I hadn't have flipped that way, my neck would have been snapped in half by the bar. I still like trampolines though. So fucking fun.
[QUOTE=Trumple;25701952]I wonder sometimes if they would. I don't think they would, but it does look suspicious that I 'fell' out a moving car, and just so happened to 'trip' down the stairs. Thrice. In the space of a year... Hmmmmmmmmmm[/QUOTE] sleep with one eye open.. your parents are going to kill you .
Rolled a 2 seater Go cart with a roll cage multiple times. No Seatbelts or Helmets. :downs: Kinda like this one, but cheaper and not as cool.

I was on the top of a cliff. The part where i was at snapped and i fell. Luckily my friend grabbed my hand. I was lucky
[QUOTE=Rairai51;25799336]Climbed a 40 foot tree, lost grip and fell partially before grabbing a branch with my hand while falling.[/QUOTE] When I was 7 I was climbing a tree, I think it was probably about the same height. I don't remember exactly how I started falling but I think my foot slipped off the branch and I hit every god damn branch on the way down. :(
I was like 3 and my mother took me to work with her. There was a McDonalds across a main road from where she worked. I got across :smug:
my head was cracked open by some guy who hit a metal object on my head i bled abit, but i managed to get to hospital
[QUOTE=Explicit;25738881]I WAS wearing pants. I just lost my balance when everything went white.[/QUOTE] I was joking =(
I haven't had many near death experiences lately, but I can remember one great one from a while ago. I am a powerfreak, although I can control it, I love power. I feel great. So, in 5th grade (this was a while back) there was an option to be something called a "safety", who led all the 1st-5th graders to their busses and cross them to the other side of the street. Well once, there was a woman who was swinging two children while holding their hands. I recognized the children, the boy to the right was Eric, but everyone called him Ernie for some reason. He was a 2nd grader, and I did reading education help with him. The other, I supposed was his brother, was a little tiny boy in 1st grade named Nathan, who I only knew because of him coming up to me in recess. Welp, now to the story. This small family was walking dandily along the sidewalk, and continued to cross the road. I saw a bus, with a distracted driver, heading straight toward them. I ran as fast as I could, caught up to them, and pulled them away with everything I had. I had successfully saved their lives. The bus driver didn't even notice me or the family even after the fact, which pissed me off. Oh, and I do actually have a near death experience. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e50vqY7Szo&feature=related[/media] I almost [b]DIED[/b] of laughter. Ok, my sharetime is over.
Jumping out of a tree into water and the branch snapping off just as I'm about to jump. Almost hit a rock.
I was drowning when I was like 5 years old in a pool. It was a trip for a lot of children of my age with supervisors and such to look after us. I was able to bounce up from the bottom of the pool using my feet to get my head over the water for under a second and scream for help. After a few times the supervisor was still just reading her magazine and I was about to give up. I think I gave up and the next thing I remember I was laying down besides the pool with a lot looking around me. So I think she jumped in after me when she discovered I couldn't swim. Apparently I've been drowning a few times, my sister once lost track of me when I was 2-4 years old and could only see my hand in some water, if it had been any deeper she wouldn't have found me and I'd be dead.
I was riding my bike to my friends house, i fell off my bike on a bridge and a car was coming down. My brother and I was at the pool he was holding me underwater, and i couldn't breathe.
Nearly being drowned to death by a schitzophrenic cousin when I was 7 or so.
I almost choked on a metal piece while the dentists were filling my teeth. Luckily I didn't swallow it otherwise it would have fucked up my stomach.
I was 2, and I caught the flu, all I know is i was admitted to the hospital, in a ICU, and they gave me a 1/3 chance to die. I only know this from snippets of things my parents said. hell I just now remembered being told this.

When i was 6 my parents would always say. DONT RUN IN TUH STREET YOU GONNA BUST CHO FAIC. So what do i do? Lose 3 teeth, require 20 stitches. Doctor said i was lucky a did not bust my head on the pavement. My dads closest is when he was in France and got shot in the ear by some random prick. But i guess you could say that was also MY Closest. Sperm and all.
I suffered brain damage when i was 4-5 after slicing my forehead open by accident, i don't even remember how it happened or what happened before that.
