Your closest encounter with death?

Mine is when i was cleaning a ceiling fan,and someone turned on the power of the ceiling fan next to me,it nearly hit my neck but i moved away in time.Another time is when i was in a really crowded town,it was really flooding with people,you have to squeeze to get through and there was a moment where i got lost and had difficulty breathing,i got out later unharmed though,as my father somehow found me,but my wallet was gone.

Thats about the closest thing to death i have encountered.Nothing spectacular.So whats yours?

Uhmm l dunno about anything l can remember? l remember one very lame situation when l slipped forward in the toilet and almost hit my face but luckily my chest took the fall mostly and nothing happened... it was funny, l got up and was laughing whilst my sister was crying, she thought l'd smacked my head in or something... :lol:

But on a more dangerous level, when l was about 3 years old, we were at the beach and my mum wasn't paying attention for a minute and l started drowning.. luckily she got me out in time and l coughed out a lot of water apparently. l guess it's good l can't remember any of it, just to spare me the traumatisation :P

Oh yes,your posts reminds me,when i was 3,i had a very high fever i went into a fit.My dad says he was really freaked as he took me to the hospital.I cant really remember it.Spared from the traumatisation too. :P

I've swerved on ice a couple times, but nothing to dramatic.

I nearly drowned when I was 10 years-old.....if had not been for my older brother, I most likely would have died...

I once jumped out of a tree, but my feet slipped as i pushed off. I nearly impaled my head on a nail sticking out of the trunk.....:? Luckily, i didn't - and managed to land fairly well to.imachelseafan

Third incident. Got shot at. A guy thought that I was somebody else. Him missing all those shots in my opinion is an act of God. I wanted to hunt him down but my rational/spiritual side said leave it to God. Folks like that always get whats coming to themkdizzle815

I've actually died before. Well technically. I have heart problems and such, and when I was 8 months old I had to have heart surgery. Afterwards, my heart beat was considerably weak. Then my heart just basically stopped. They revived me though(obviously). And here I am know telling you about it. o_o

Nope.....

Probably mine was nearly drowning as a kid because of a tidal;wave feature thing at Typhoon Lagoon in Florida. Never again. :PThorpe89

You and me both...be thankful you don't live off the Australian coast...here, you share the water with box jellyfish, sharks and *shudder* stonefish. Though on consideration, perhaps you shouldn't be all that thankful...

 Such a great parent you'd make.-Karayan-

I am a great parent.  My child is well provided for and loved.  I am not, however, a parent to an adult stranger.  If you lived that long and don't know how to care for yourself.....what happens is entirely up to you. 

It's not logical how you try to argue two different scenarios as though they would be the same.
