Almost drowned when I was a kid at the beach was probably 8 or 9 which was as close as I've come. Also when I was a kid I had to have a major surgery and was in intensive care for about a week or two with about a 6 month recovery, but I'm not sure if that one counts.

Don't know if this one counts either..
About 8 years ago, I met up with my cousin for lunch unexpectedly. He was on his way to go fly in a sea plane with one of his friends. The thing is I hadn't seen him in at least 6-8 months and just ran into him at a sub shop. They had an open spot on the plane because another guy couldn't go. So I came very close to going, but I had work to do so I wussed out. Ends up the plane crashed while the pilot was doing a touch and go on a lake and they were all killed.

I could have very easily been on that plane, so I count my lucky stars that I had to work that day.
