What Was Your Closest Brush With Death?

When I started working out a long time ago I put like 145 pounds on the barbell and I couldn't get the last rep of the last set up over the resting bars and it just started coming down, right onto my neck. That hurt my throat and I couldn't get it off and I was flailing like a fish cause it was choking me. It was 3:00 AM so nobody was awake and I was in the basement. Was able to tilt it one way and slide out.

Another time in the winter I was plowing with my dad and one of my brothers. Me and my brother were shoveling and my dad decided to back the truck up and since he was backdragging snow he had to step on the gas hard, only the plow wasn't as far down as it should have been so he zoomed back, my head decided to be sticking out in the driveway and I was facing the other way, my brother just said "You're gonna die!" I turned my head and saw the truck's bumper right in my face and I just fell backwards and the thing nearly missed me.

When I was ten, out of boredom, I put metal tweezers in an electrical out let.

Sparks shot out, the outlet caught fire, and I blew the breakers.

My fingers were covered in soot and everyone was going nuts but I was fine.

:D

Fell into a river when I was a kid.

Started swimming lessons the next day. lol

appendix burst while i was on hallucinogens. For a little bit i thought it was all in my head until i was rushed to the emergency room.Utensilman

sounds terrifying

what drug were you on?

I put a loaded gun to my head, and I have stepped out in front of a speeding car once only to be pulled back at the last second by my dad. The car actually nicked my shoe.

Dude, I know this is a game forum and all, but you might want to seek professional help. I've never been realistically close to death where I feared for my life. My dad did whip me one time when I was 10 that I thought I would die though.

One time I was shot in the stomach by my Australian ex friend, then had to climb a train that was dangling off a cliff and fight my way through waves of mercenaries that wanted to kill me in a freezing mountaintop while I was bleeding out and wearing no jacket.

True story.

Ahehehehahahehehehe :)
One time, I had Pizza Hut then several hours later I went to the bathroom...several hours later...I left the bathroom

Car crash. I lost control going around a corner, hit the grassy verge, narrowly missed a sign post and went head first into a hedge. The hedge was particularly thick and the branches long. Next thing I knew the windscreen had smashed and my left cheek was bleeding. When I recovered from my disorientation, I realised a large branch had narrowly missed going into my face at high speed and only grazed my left cheek.

The truly sickening moment was when I looked to my passenger seat which was not only covered in smashed glass but a large cluster of sharp branches had penetrated the car. Had my girlfriend, family member or friend been sitting there at the time and I hadn't been alone in the car then they probably wouldn't have been so lucky. That realisation to me was more horrific than the actual crash itself

I was 10 I think and decided to order fried pieces of squid for lunch at a traditional tavern during family vacations. Those things wre like rubber and nearly choked me. I was nearly crying in my effort to breathe.

It was this other time 1 year ago. I was watching a movie with my parents at night and suddenly a piece of the ceiling fell and landed like 2 meters away from me. The furniture is still full of scratches. Well I' ve never had a serious near death experience as you can guess.
