Near death expierences

[Misfit]

We've all had at least one, right? Let's share our tales. :)

Here's a couple incidents from me:

#1: When I was five I'd just seen the movie "Supergirl" for the first time. I became obsessed with the idea of flying like the title character and so one day climbed up on this very narrow brike wall that has a pretty high drop (it could easily kill you if you fell) we have outside our house. I actually got as far as standing on the ledge and was just about to take a flying leap when Mum came out, saw me, had a near heart attack and got me down. If it weren't for her coming out when she did I would've jumped for sure. I got a big lecture and a smack that day and Mum watched me like a hawk for weeks.

#2: When I was a toddler I put a badge I'd got on a birthday card in my mouth and almost swallowed it. If it weren't for my Mum tipping me upside down and banging my back I would've very probably chocked.

#3: More recently, just last year, I was about a street with someone and a psycho driver went right through the read light. I'd already put my feet in the road to cross and if my friend hadn't yanked me back when he did I would've been hit and the way the car was speeding you can bet I would've either been killed or paralized.

Let's hear your stories now.

[Leo656]

When I was 5 I had my face lit on fire. Not exactly near death but that's pretty bad. I guess I'm lucky I'm not blind.

Then when I was seven my best friend pushed me down a flight of stairs and I hit the back of my head on the vaccum cleaner when I hit the ground. That was pretty bad too. It never bothered me much until I got older and heard about people who'd gotten killed falling down a flight of stairs.

This one I'm not too proud of but one time my father threw a big heavy pipe wrench at my head. We were arguing and I ran out of the apt. and started down the stairs, when I looked back to see him start to throw the wrench. I took a leap off the 7th step or so from the ground and tucked my head down, and the wrench missed me by less than a foot. That was pretty scary. Don't worry, I kicked his ass for it.

Most recently, two years ago after Thanksgiving my father was driving us back from Atlantic City at about 3am and it was drizzling slightly, just enough to make the road slick. All of a sudden we went into a skid and we must have done about three full spins and almost hit the divider, An oncoming car behind us almost hit us as we were spinning, and if they had one of us would have likeley been killed.

That's all I can think of right now.

[MTN889]

Once when i was 3 i slit my eyebrow open. Ouch.

When i was 5 i broke my head, but if my friend hadnt pushed me while i was falling i wouldve fallen 20 feet more.

When i was 6 i got my ass jammed in a pipe, well at least i was scared of being stuck there forever.

Other than that im a safe-freak.

[Leo656]

:lol: Dude I am NOT trying to be funny but when I read that the first time I read it really fast and "ass" and "pipe" looked like they were the other way around, and I was like :o "!!!!!!" :lol:

I really gotta actually READ and not just skim... hooo-boy...

[MTN889]

im glad that didnt happen, because then my asshole would be sagging 2 feet

[Leo656]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I like you boy... I like the cut o'yer gib... :lol:

[Taloniss]

When I was being born, the embilicle(sp?) cord was wrapped around my throat and I nearly chocked to death. They got me out in time though to save me.

When I was 5, me and my family were visitin my uncle, aunt and cousin. I was playing near the pool, and of course, I can't swim. I slipped into the deep end, and early drorwned. Lucky my cousin was there to pull me out.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I like you boy... I like the cut o'yer gib... :lol:

I'm not sure you should be admitting to looking at that boys gib.

[Leo656]

:-? ...what IS a gib, exactly?

[Taloniss]

...I don't know :-?

[Bowser_Koopa]

when i was like six (the turtle year!) i remember my family and i were on a trip, we were crossing the street and then i fell to the floor, if my brother wouldn't have said "roll!"(i actually don't remember if he said it before or after i actually rolled), i would have ended up like the cat in the funny pics topic

when i was 13 we were on another trip, we were going by car to the top of a mountain, when we almost fell off a cliff, we had to move backwards so the car would balance.

i remember how one Christmas(or few days before, it was in 90 or 91) i was watching the supermario super show and suddenly the Christmas tree caught fire, it was horrible, my mom says that was my dad's fault and i believe her, since he is an irresponsable @$$, and he was the one who put up the lights, it was traumatizing thankfully, the fire was stopped at time and i only got too scared, not hurt

[Cascadia]

I almost became paralyzed in August from my horseback riding. For about 4 weeks, I could not do anything besides sleeping. I had to be on crutches and I still had to go to work. I pulled a Christopher Reeves act. :o

[Billy the Kid]

#2: When I was a toddler I put a badge I'd got on a birthday card in my mouth and almost swallowed it. If it weren't for my Mum tipping me upside down and banging my back I would've very probably chocked.

Something very similar happened to me. I swallowed a bolt and a neighbor turned me upside down and hit my back and jerked me up and down until it came out of my mouth.

The only other time I would really call a near death experience is when I had an accident on my way to work - my first day on the job - and I plowed into a concrete ditch. If I had not been wearing my seatbelt, I would have gone straight through the windshield. Fortunately, all I ended up with was a large bruise across my chest.

[Reznorite420]

Damn it! I tried posting it before, but I kept getting a damned DNS error. I'll try again:

The summer between 8th and 9th grade I went on my first and only can collection drive with the Boy Scout troop I was currently in at the time. My partner was a friend from school I had made the previous year (8th grade), and he and I were being trucked around (literally) sitting on the back of the tailgate of his dad's truck...while it was MOVING.

As if that wasn't retarded enough, he and I decided it might be funny to have our feet touch the road once in a while. I kept on doing this even after he had stopped for a long time while (thankfully) not on a city street. My feet touched once, twice, and then the next thing I remembered was waking up in an ambulance; seems I had fallen off the truck and hit the pavement with my head in the process of screwing around. Spent the rest of that day in the ICU (I had internal bleeding) and the rest of the 4th of July weekend in a general ward. Adding insult to injury I had a massive migraine for 4 days after I came home. Not fun.

After that little incident, my troopmates held the short-lived tradition of saying "Don't pull a Haskins [my last name] on us!" every time someone rode in a truck as a passenger. I'll never forgive them for that, heh.

[Kali]

When I was about three (?) I was apparently climbing my father's tool bench when it fell on me. I was pinned between it and the car.

I've had my friend's brother run over me with his bike. I was sitting on the side walk and I guess he though it would be fun to use me as a ramp. I had skid marks, but no real injuries.

I've had my face bashed in by a tireswing. I had to ride my bike back home (a couple blocks), holding my face. I still have pictures of that around somewhere.

I've been mildly electrocuted while trying to pull a plug out of a socket.

Don't know if any of these qualitfy as "near death", though. Dut hell, driving on California roads, I'm surprised I don't have them more often! :lol:

[The Defibrillator]

I have a total of 27 stitches on my head. All of the incidents were just about the same. They all happened between the ages of 5 and 7, and it was just me hitting my head on things (i.e., piano bench, dresser, etc.).

I don't think any of em were even close to death, but thats the closest I've ever gotten.

*has never been in one car accident* :D

[That Matt Guy]

I don't really want to remember it or talk about it, but someone put a gun to my head and threatened to kill me.

[Misfit]

I don't really want to remember it or talk about it, but someone put a gun to my head and threatened to kill me.Dude really? Sh*t that's awful. :(

I later found out it wasn't even loaded, but the memory still haunts me.

[Leo656]

That is some f*cked up ****.

But if there's anyone I can think of who'd wind up beating the jackass to death with the blunt end of their own gun, it'd be you, Matt.

[GK Punk]

you should go to Krang and Shredder's Big-O forum, one of the members was shot twice but still fought the guys that did it.

I hope he's doing okay, he's back in the hospital last I heard...

[Mars-Chan]

You may laugh at this but I was nearly run over by a school bus at my high school! IT'S TRUE!

I had my nose buried in a book (I'm ALWAYS reading) and I was going up the stairs in front of my high school parking lot and there was an area where the buses come in to drop kids off and I was just about to walk in front of one when my Guardian Angel called out clear as day: "STOP!" I glanced up and saw the bus park and let the kids off. Needless to say that my heart was going about fifty miles an hour that minute....

[Voltron]

I have

3 suicide attempts

2 murder attempts

I was poisoned at birth

I had to have a hernia or some thing repared when I was three months old, almost didn't make that.

I've been stoned

almost hit by a car

[Bowser_Koopa]

c'mon i expected more from your mom!!!!!.........i mean ,,,,,,,,pooor ppoorr pooor voltron :cry:

[Voltron]

Well here's the best one.

We had a tree fort in the woods, my friends and I. We nailed boards of wood to make a ladder up to the fort. One day I climbed up and the top step of the ladder broke, I rolled down the tree (a nice two stories) and crashed into a briar patch. The nails had rusted since they were left out in the rain so long, and they caused a huge gash in my stomach, about a foot long. I still have the scar.


The MOM aspect-

Fearing my mother would kill me for bleeding on my shirt, I took it off and walked home. The neighbors all freaked out to see my blood spewing wound as I walked a quarter mile back to my house. I ran upstairs and took a shower as to avoid enraging mom, and needless to say, she yelled her ass off, and I was beaten senseless.

Oh well, I'm stupid...what more can I say?

[Leo656]

Please don't take this as me being presumptuous V. but your mom is a piece of garbage.

[Voltron]

Please don't take this as me being presumptuous V. but your mom is a piece of garbage.

You don't know the half of it...

[Cascadia]

I went through 3 years of depression. But I kept on striding through my life.

[Voltron]

13 and going strong

[Leo656]

Just think, Voltron, soon enough you'll be outta there and have your own life and you'll never have to see that bitch again. That's what my girlfriend's planning on doing with her parents, and what my half-brother did to our father. He even moved out of state to ensure he'd never have to deal with our father again.

[Duke]

I don't really want to remember it or talk about it, but someone put a gun to my head and threatened to kill me.I can certainly understand not wanting to talk about it. I've had a knife pulled on me twice and i don't really like to discuss either of them.

[Wingnut]

1. I was 5 years old and i was racing my bike with my friend and my 4 year old neighbor came right in front of me while i was going full speed,i hit him and i was catapulted 15 feet into my yard. I was knocked out cold,the kid was fine.

2.I was 9 and at this place called the "Barnswings". Basically they're twine swings that are woven together REALLY tight. Anyway,you get strapped into them and you jump of a platform which can be anywhere from 5 to 30 feet high. Mine was 20. I guess my "friend" Ethan thought it would be funny if he unstrapped me while the worker guy wasn't looking. So he does and i get pushed off the platform and as im at the peak height i raise my arms in triumph,then i flew,literally flew out of the swing hit the wall and slid down. I broke 2 ribs,my wrist,and i cut my head open. We beat the crap out of Ethan and left him there,we haven't seen him sense.

#3: More recently, just last year, I was about a street with someone and a psycho driver went right through the read light. I'd already put my feet in the road to cross and if my friend hadn't yanked me back when he did I would've been hit and the way the car was speeding you can bet I would've either been killed or paralized.

Yeah that also happened to me last year and noone was in the car with me to warn me. Fortunately as I was going on teh green and saw that lunatic on the other side cross outta noowhere when it was red for him, I saw him in time and quickly stopped *whew*

Also there have been other car incidents that were not 'near death' necessarily, but had my mom not been in car with me to warn me, I dunno what would have happened. *thanks her angel for being there*

[EZweasel]

this was just recently...yaw ready?

ok i was hanging my figures on my wall...i was standing in a chair. and i know youve seen chairs where they got points sticking out the top like where the legs go...well somehow i got off balance and fell. one of the those points went right up my behive. scared the crap out of me and felt realy wierd. it didnt hurt anything, but was very scary....

[Dinny]

I have a broken finger and its taking 6 WEEKS, Fraggle must use miracle grow plant food on his fingers or summin.

[Mr. Snackpants]

or it coulda been jammed or something and he thought it was broken :-?

[Fraggle]

it was definaty broken i had a x ray to prove it was broken right down the middle also dinny i don't use plant grow the only thing i do which is a bit weird is that i eat a lot of choclate

[Dinny]

I should try that, I need mine fixed so I can play rugby.

[Machias Banshee]

:lol: Ahh, another superhuman healer... :)

Fraggle, if what you say is true, I might suggest getting your hormone levels checked.
Lesee...my lil list...

Almost was killed by my doctor when he misdiagnosed my borderline Lyme Disease. I had a 105* fever more times than i care to be told about... :sweatdro:
I have a condition where I will never stop growing.
I am 20, 6'1" and STILL getting Taller.
I survived a near-fatal bloodclot in 1/3 of my leg (If a piece had been jarred loose and gone into my brain or lung, I would not be here at all) within a few months (it usually takes about a year)
I recovered from a motorcycle accident (dislocated as well as separated shoulder, nasty roadrash) within a month (should have been 3+ months, even the physical therapy people called me "superhuman" :D )
I still have my scar from the accident, but any other injuries i get, i heal very quickly.
And... I rarely get sick, and when I do it is more often or not something severe.

[Dinny]

I havent thrown up in 3 years :tparty: :tparty: :tparty:

[Fraggle]

thats just like me i have never been ill eg sick or had a cold or flu nothing never had a day off school or college i have a 100% record for school and college!!!! also i still hav my scar from my hernia operation

[Fraggle]

atcully thats one thing which is really scary i don't do any sports at all except i watch wrestling and football (soccer) and like i do running about 5 times a year thats it, because in college i study animal care and all i do is clean animals which isn't physically demanding.

[InsaneZane]

ok... im not even gonna try to lie on this one....
I was trying to score a half-ounce bag of marijuana, and i found the hook-up in a place called Avington apt. "ghetto" neighborhood.
i paid about $45. then while i was leaving, a black juvinille held a pistol to my head ordering that i give him the weed.

being the dumb-@$$ white boy i am, i conter-struck, disarming the prick, i picked up his gun, shot him in the left knee, he fell to the ground, screaming in pain, I took the weed out of my pocket, opened the bag, then i said,"You want the weed? You fu*king punk??" and I spilled the weed all over the guy, "You can have it!" then i threw the bag down, kicked him in the head and ran out of the neighborhood as fast as I could.

Normally, I wouldnt throw away weed like that, but I was so Outraged that someone would threaten to kill me over a half-ounce, i didnt think twice.
In case you're wondering, I did get rid of the gun, I copied all the movies and threw it in a postal Mail Box.

This is a lesson for you youngens.... drugs only lead to trouble :D

i got run over by a car. i smashed its windshield, got up again, started swearing. ripped of his you-know-the-mirrors-on-the-side-of-the-car, sweared some more. went off the street and collapsed. next thing i know is that i'm in emergency surgery and those people just finished picking glass shards out of my arms an back. nothing was broken but a lot hurt.
