What's The Closest You Have Come To Death ?

Mine is the following.

20 years old (spun my car out on hwy 37 aka Blood Alley drunk as Fuck. Luckily no police came and i got away with a few scrapes and brusies and I fucked my car up pretty good.

25 Years old (almost got hit by a car while walking down the street and talking to Brett Favre (Green Bay) on St Patricks Day. I had been playing Bagpipes at several bars and Brett was talking to me about bagpipes etc. I wasn't really paying attention and i almost walked out in front of a car but he pulled me back just in time. Needless to say I bought him beer the rest of the night

29 Burglar Broke into my house and almost beat me with a Crow Bar. Luckily I escaped and got the Police. Funny thing is when they came he was still there. Turns out he just got out of prison and was a parole violater.

:helpme :

Now you go

those are some crazy stories..

for me, living in Israel is close enough :1orglaugh

Got my wisdom teeth out and the anaesthetic almost killed me

When I was 16, my 18 year old boyfriend was showing me how fast his daddy's car would go and we hit a tree at 135+ MPH. I was thrown into the hatchback, got a gash on my head and cracked a few vertebrae in my neck. I was in a neck brace for months and I'm not ever allowed to ride roller coasters, anymore. The highway patrolman that investigated the accident said it was a miracle that anyone made it out alive as badly as the car was crushed. It didn't even look like a car, anymore.

My neurologist said if my neck had cracked another 1/4 inch I would have been paralyzed and another 1/2 inch would have killed me. :helpme

All my lunatic boyfriend got was a bruised shoulder. :321GFY

As I was leaving the house, I was staring at the firetruck parked outside not knowing about the cut electrical lines lying on the ground.

I almost stepped on them. :1orglaugh Some firefighter saved my life by pushing me back..

i guess the few times I got shot at were the the worst.

I was doing mountain bike competition when I was younger and I felt on my head (probably a rock ... I was going down) . i was 3 days in the coma in hospital ... I literally broke my helmet .

Nearly died from carbon monoxide poisoning when I was a baby.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn :( God gave us a second chance and look how we repaid him :1orglaugh

when I was 18, I took my Fiero (Wyoming redneck musthave car at the time) into a tree...I made it, my passenger didn't

I've had 2 near drownings

I was hanging outside a window hiding from a pissed off husband who came home too early and slipped and almost plummeted to my death or at least a severly twisted ankle...

when I ahd long hair, I got my hair stuck in a spa drain...luckily a friend was there

when I was a kid, lightning struck about 3 feet from where I was standing

I've been in 3 severe car wrecks

I had a psycho bitch girlfriend who chased me around with a big ass sword (her father was a sword collector) and she knocked me down and had the tip pointed at my throat, but her father came home early...she spent the next 6 years in a mental institution

I was making a beer run and jaywalked across the street and a car came speeding up, so I dve for tyhe sidewalk and the car clipped my foot, spun me aroun and made the case of beers break open and a couple went spraying out into the street

When registrering on GFY....

Nah..

One time in my youth days I was trying to repair a coffie machine.
I left the power cord plugged in, just to see if it worked. The cord was not attached to the plastic, it fell out, it landed on the bar of the table... Fully wired with juice, the bar was metal, my hands was on the bar, I saw a flash, I felt a little pickle in my body, I shaked a bit. All was done, I saw some fire comming out the electric cabins. And btw, it sounded real lound.
Later on an electrician shoed me the two amp.deg.volt.things... The amp.resistiance was 300AMP.

I guess I was lucky that day.

Damn did you get man slaughter charges for the first accident ?
Also, did the rest of the beer survive ? Please tell me it did i hate to hear about wasted beer :1orglaugh

all charges were dropped because I wasn't drunk...we were arguing and there was a lot of ice on the road and I hit a patch of black ice...

19 of the 24 beers survived, but by the time I checked out of the hospital with a banged up foot, my friends had fucking drank it all (they were like "hey, at least we saved the beer") those fuckers, one of them "accidently" got some trickles of piss in his coffee....

almost died before i was born
then drowned 3 times
no biggie

I've been hit by a car a few times when I was a kid. I can barely remember though I think I was 6

last year I drove home thru a snow storm and spun my friend's truck out across 4 lanes..smacked into the gurad-rail bounced off then smacked in to the other one. I ended up facing the wrong way...turned the truck around and parked it...two seconds later a transport truck came by..

I missed 4 cars and a transport truck within 2 minutes...


then I used to get driven to my soccer practices by my friend's brother in law..only to find out 3 years later that he is a SERIAL RAPIST AND KILLER of more than 40 GIRLS!!!:helpme

those fuckers, one of them "accidently" got some trickles of piss in his coffee.... [/B][/QUOTE]

:1orglaugh

Can we include cancer?
Lame q yes

Well..

1. My buddy I were held at gunpoint once for about 10 long minutes by a man that had just riddled the side of my car w/ shotgun holes.

2. I was once in a car of friends that ran off the freeway, left over 300 ft. of skid marks and rolled about 7 times before crashing to a stop.

3. Was in a car chase once by some gang bangers that were shooting at us, didn't stop until we all bailed out of the car and ran separate directions.. had to push my way into a house for cover.

There were a few other times that were dangerous but I don't think my life was actually in danger.

I nearly died when i was 10 falling out of a tree. my wrist hit a rock half burried into the ground... my head was no more than maybe 4 inches away from it.

oh yeah and i've almost died everyday from stress dealing with two kids that are back in school... ugggggggggggggghhhh.

GMX.

reading this board sometimes kills me.

The time a really big guy beat the fuck out of me. Witnesses thought I was dead, but I was just unconcious.

Holy shit!! Where did you live when this happened? Were you sleeping when he broke in?

you fucking play the bagpipes mahoney? that rocks.

i almost od'd once off coke and painkillers... i snapped out of it after a while though, the funky chicken should be enough to wake any stupid fucker like me up.

Damn that's Fucking Crazy reminds me of the time we shot the hells Angel with a paint gun and he came after us with a baseball bat. I'm pretty sure that if I didn't drive like a fucking maniac i would of been killed i was only 16

:1orglaugh

Holy shit dude!

You play the pipes?! Wicked! I used to... but not for a very long time now. :thumbsup

Mine:

Year: 1976
Location: 1hr from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Details: Fell 30ft from roof into concrete storm drain, head first.

Injuries: Very severe head trauma, to say the least.

Added issue: The road to the nearest hospital was one-way in the wrong direction at that time of day.

I was in hospital for months, but I made it! :)

(My poor mother...) LOL.

As scary as it may be, I think "some firefighter" deserves some respect.

I have cheated death a number of times...its almost kind of scary to sit back and think about it...

Was in the nightclub biz for 17 years in Los Angeles/Hollywood/Beverly Hills. Some nights were like out of a movie, fights guns etc.

I day or night in particular I was dating Karyn Ractman the sister or Rikki Rachtman, she asked me if I could help her little brother he was owed some money, so I of course said yes, after all I was running 4 clubs a week, and had big balls....so we meet at a place called the Starwood, the Starwood used to be on Santa Monica And Cresent Heights on the heart of hollywood.

So I find out this club owes Rikki and his partner around 500 bucks, from a front door skim. So we go up the stairs and go into office and I am now standing face to face with Eddie Nash, the same Eddie Nash that killed all those people in the wonderland murders with John Holmes, it was kind of creepy and this is long before that murder deal in Laurel Canyon, but I could feel the vibe and it was not good.

He told me in no un certain terms if I came back there he would kill me, so we walked out and I told them I would give them the five hundred dollars and not to go back there again.

I had an angel on my side many many drug hazed nights in LA driving way to fast and staying up to late, its a fucking miracle I am still alive today to talk about it.

Had a mild stroke in 95 out of the blue. I was only 30 at the time and the dr never did come up with an explanation. My vision never has returend to 20/20 but im ALOT better now than I was at the time. Also fell out of a 12 foot tree stand deer hunting when I was a teenager. Guess I landed just right cause all I was was a little sore :thumbsup

Died surrfing at the reefs in San Diego in the winter of 82/83.....serious out of body and gone.....next thing I know, BAM, I was awake on the beach and no one was around.....really a trip.

I never really felt the fear of death but I did have a gun pulled on me a few times...I wasn't that scared because I think most people that carry illegal guns don't have the balls to pull the trigger........don't get me wrong i'm no tough guy i just didn't grt thr feeling it was over......:ak47:

She does music supervisor work on movies, right? I didn't know she was Rikki's sister. Like her work.

I almost got ran over by a speeding car when I was 5 or 6. The crazy bitch used to live down the street, the limit's 50 kmh, she'd always be doing at least 80.

I got beat up fairly badly once as well. Didnt really come close to death, but the guy was looking for a pipe to beat me with, so i figured I was done for

16 flipped my car driving home at night, rabbit ran in the middle of the road and I swirved to miss it. Car flipped 3 times threw me out, cop passing by saw the wreck pulled over gave me CPR and saved my life.

On December 21st 1988, I was booked to fly from Paris to London to New York and then on to Miami.
The London to New York Leg was on Pan Am flight 103. At the time I was 18 and loved it when I had lots of connections. At the last minute, I had to be rebooked on an Air France flight as the Paris London flight was overbooked, I guess I was real lucky that day :(
