I was around 6 and choked on a grape. My older sister did not know what to do, and we thought mom left the house. Thankfully she had not left yet and knew what to do. I still wonder what would have happened if my mom would not have been there...I also wwonder if that grape is still out there waiting to finish the job. I mean I just remeber spitting it out and it roll under the couch, but I never found it. Crap I should have stept on it, that damned thing might still be in my house.

I got a bad shock from exposed wiring on a water heater when I was about 7. Probably the closest I've come that I was aware of.

I don't remember choking on anything very badly. :P

I choked on a piece of steak while watching A Christmas Story. I finally coughed it up after nearly a minute of choking on it. :[

When I was six I choked on a strawberry. I remember not being able to breath at all. It was terrifying. I just remember running around the house trying to hack it out of my windpipe. Eventually it came unlodged. My dad was in his room so by the time he heard everything and then got to me it came flying out on to the floor. Scary*

I was fighting an army of 12,000 ninjas when my light saber broke. During the retreat to the secondary starship I tripped almost getting pummeled by a T-Rex but luckily the global defense platform killed it allowing me to escape.

It's not near-death situation, but one time, I had my pencils between my toes imitating velociraptors in Jurassic Park.... and I got stabbed by it on my leg. The piece of the pencil is still there, but you can't see it because of my extremely dashing manly leg hair. EDIT: oh yeah, and there was the time when I purposefully sprayed a bug spray on my eyes.... I have no idea wtf I was thinking.... and there was one time the my freaking tongue got stuck between teeth. In my entire life, I have not encountered anyone who achieved this fit yet.

Was at my friend's house watching WWF (i was around 7-8 years old, so WWF was still around) was biteing some plastic from the straw (some bad habit on biteing some things , and i still do it :/ ) and i almost choke on it. Yea stupid me i know XD

Also , i remember rideing my bike with my dad when i was around 10-13 years old , we both was going back home and we needed to cross the street , But some reason i didn't brake (i was too scared?) so i was heading in when the light was still green , But i got STUPID luck and i made across w/o geting hit by a car , I swear a car JUST hit the tip of my back wheel , thats how lucky i was.

I remember me and my friend climbing and elementary school. We used an old shed that was right next to the wall and climbed to the top. But I lost my footing at the top and I was 2 seconds away from cracking my head on the concrete. But luckily my friend grabbed my hand and helped me get my balance back. I really did think he saved me life though and we're still bestest buds today :).

Me and my friend were messing around and he ran across the street. I ran across to catch him and almost got hit by a speeding car (a mustang to be exact) . I actually jammed my pinky on it as it went by.

When I was 4 I jumped into a pool without knowing how to swim. Funny thing is I managed to doggy-paddle until someone reminded me I couldn't swim, and then I dropped like a rock.

Yeah. Makes me wonder if I'm really alive or not sometimes. Cause that day, I should have drowned. I even remember breathing underwater.

There was a pool that was outside the house I used to live in a long time ago. A few years ago though, they turned it into a fountain. I was probably 4 or 5 years old. I was wading in the water until I felt a sharp pain in my right calf muscle til the point I ended up collapsing in the water. Since I didn't know how to swim or didn't screamed when I went under, I believe I stayed underwater for perhaps 2 or 3 minutes holding my breath trying to get my leg moving again. I ended up inhaling the water since I no longer could hold my breath. I swear, from this point on, it seemed like a dream. I actually started breathing under water. I opened my eyes and could see all the other peoples legs in the water and them moving around playing with a volleyball. I think no more than 20 seconds later, my dad finally pulled me out the water. Soon as he pulled me out, I strt coughing up a lot of water. Then I told my dad that I actually was breathing underwater when I slipped in. He didn't believe me. To this day, I remember everything that happened. I even remember the exact pool and spot it happened in. Went to google it and here it is:

pool

Inside that red box used to be a pool but was turned into a fountain. And I was inside the red circle when I went under. And no I haven't attempted to see if I could breath underwater ever since that happened...:P

I totally know what you mean. I fell in a water fountain when I was five or six. Felt like eternity and I wasn't even trying to get out because I had no idea how to swim. Dad grabbed me after a minute or so. Water fountains are way too dangerous.

Well it was those really small clementine ones, that you can peel yourself. Then you can split them into smaller pieces, but i put like 5 pieces which was about half one in my mouth and didn't chew very well.

I was 5 years old and we were at a camp site. We went along a river and I had slipped and fall into a river. My sister grabbed me by the sweater. If hadn't worn a sweater that day, I would had died during that fast current river.

I've been close to getting hit by a car many times at a high speed. I also had a TV fall on my head once and it nearly snapped my neck.

Well, that fountain I was talking about was an actual outdoor pool with a lot of people in it...:P It was 1993 or 94 when I had that accident. I believe in 97, they stopped filling it up with water and decided to put a black steel fence around the pool. And in 2005, they decided to turn it into a fountain, filling the pool up and installing two fountains heads in it. There won't be any accidents falling in there because there's a fence surrounding the entire fountain.....:P

I twisted a muscle while swimming once. The pain made me sink, but I was lucky enough to fight it and make my way to shallow water.

I couldn't stay afloat because one of my legs were immobilized.
