Near-Death Experiences

[Saturn V]

I had one about 10 seconds ago when I read your post.

i dont like seaworld anymore. when i was a youngun i went real deep in the wave pool and once the waves started i got trapped. i tried to climb up the ladder but the waves kept knocking me off. luckily my brother pulled me out cus it was time to go.

Same thing happened to me. I was about 6 years old. Luckily, some person sat me on their tube and brought me back to the shore and helped me find my dad.

Scorpion got me once when me and my dad were 4-wheeling.
About 30 miles away from the hospital, it was fun.

My story is kind of like that. While on break at work I was eating my favorite food of all time- Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I was reading at the time and somehow or another about half a bite of peanut butter cup lodges itself in my windpipe. I was wheezing for a minute and for a split second I thought "This can't seriously be it. Choking on my favorite food? What a way to go." Slowly I start getting air back through and the bastard candy lying on the ground, and I felt better. I still love Reese's though.

I got stung by one of them. didnt hurt so much as it scared me. it was living under my bed and they always come in 2's. i couldnt sleep for days in that bed

It was at my birthday party when I turned eight-ish. Fell in the pool in 5-6 foot deep water....ended up going under, hitting the bottom and jumping to get a breath....took about 5 minutes before someone noticed "Hey that kid could be almost drowning" >_>


edit: A kid I know that goes to my school almost drowned in the river that goes by our town. There is a tree by it with a rope attached to it that people swing out from and dive into the river. He let go too late, hit the bottom of the river, snapped his back and fractured his neck. Our neighbor's brother was nearby, dove in the river and held the kid in the current(There wasnt a beach anywhere nearby, you had to climb a 20-30 foot cliff to get back up) for over an hour and 15 minutes before help arrived.

Glad everyone lived hehehe. I'm old as some of you know... well compared to you guys at least...33 :0 anyways the longer you live the more brushes we have.. My worst was car accident on highway in driving rain storm. I'm driving 70 miles per hour and hydroplane suddenly. Slaming on the breaks as i started to spin only made in worse. Me and my car began doing 360's in the middle of I 95... I did a full 3 360's and then another 180 before crashing backwards into the guard rail. In shock at what had just happened and that i was now at rest i look to my right and see a 16 wheeler mac truck heading straight for me. He is trying to stop screeching his tires. He literally stopped 2 feet from my driver side door. The ironic thing is that that big truck that almost killed me saved my life from other vehicles slaming into me.... Drive Safe Kiddies

1 more that wasnt very pleasant as the turnout was unknown was 1 evening I was walking down a side street here in Washington dc in the evening when a car pulls up with two dudes in it. They stop ahead of me and one guy gets out. He matter of factly pulls out semi automatic pistol cocks it with bullet in chamber ,points it at me and says "your money or your life right now" I quickly pulled out my wallet and said sorry i only have 20 dollars but its yours. heheheh poor me ....I hand it to him , he takes it unhappily,lowers his gun,gets in his car and drives away. Whole thing lasted about 30 secs but I think of all the bad possibilies afterwards.....creepy..... anyways jessups stories

Oh and I said I was legall dead becase if your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) is above .3 you are considered legally dead.

Is this true? Damn, that means I've died too, possibly multiple times, even though I've been hospitalized for drinking only once (luckily police is usually faster, hospital nights aren't cheap).

[RATTY...]

Wtf? You didn't even go into hospital? If you had some kind of food poisoning they'd be monitoring you until 2007

Last night I walked two miles into town, two miles back to mine, two miles up to Laura's house, a mile back to Nick's house, a mile back to mine, got a few hours sleep, walked two miles into town this morning, walked two back, I've got to walk two to the library, two back and then play badminton... FUCK THAT! I don't care what you military kids are going to say, my feet are having a near-death experience at the moment

You must live in No-Mans land.

[RATTY...]

i don't wnat to type out what happened to me, it involved a glass, my wrist, artery, tendons, lots of blood, passing out, surgery, 4 weeks of school, 6 months physical therapy.

Wait, but aren't you a little kid?

[ZeUs!!]

You must live in No-Mans land.

I live in Portsmouth city centre, inbetween two pubs, 30 metres from the cities major gig venue, directly on the sea front, bordering a park and nowhere near any of the university buildings - the way it should be

You took that from Final Destination 2.

Wow, that would mean a lot of people would be dead.

In oregon, the legal BAC is .8%.

[Troll King]

I think you're off by a factor of ten, Twerp. The highest legal level in the States is 0.10 with most states setting it to .08.
