    I'd like to hear when you've almost died on accident. Doesn't have to be dark, some of my best stories are when I did something stupid and almost killed myself. For instance,I was camping with a military organization I used to be in. Since it was a survival camp they had us make our own fire. This was by no means a professional event so it was pretty laid back with the seniors and the supplies. We had to cut up a log to make it, and I got left with a rusty k-bar and an e-tool. I'm sitting there hammering a knife into a log with a shovel when the knife slips out and then slides perfectly between my hand and the log, fortunately not leaving a giant slash in my hand and giving me tetanus

    Does indicating to change lanes, and while you're in the middle of doing so, a car zooming past you didn't see honks at you, then you snap back into your own lane, count?

    If not, I have nothing. That's about the closest I've been to serious bodily harm. However, it has happened more than once.

    I was being chased by bullies out into the street and a car almost hit me, they laughed instead of checking on me.

    Since people are responding I'll post another. This was pretty close to the knife incident. The area we were at was windy, so we had to dig a pit. The only one to get some progress was Scott, and she only got a smoking pit. I figured that since you blow oxygen on embers it will get the fire going. So I had the brought idea of sticking my head in the hole. So I'm sitting there breathing in smoke with licks of flames coming out for roughly five minutes before Scott grabs me by the sorry and pulls me out. I am not a bright man

    I almost died when I was 3 years old. I was riding in a car with my grandma and grandpa, and my grandpa was driving. I don't know what happened exactly but we ended up hitting a light pole. Out of the very few things I remember when I was little, this was one of them. Even so I don't remember too much, all I remember is hitting the pole, waking up on a hospital bed thingy where they roll you around on it, the doctor asking me some questions, and then my uncle picking me up later.

    This car accident did result in some scars though, which are still very visible today.
    One on my right arm, and then I have stitches on my right eyelid. :P

    Alright I'll post another. This one time I was pulling out of a kfc. The exit led unto a busy stree and had some blind corners. I looked both ways and it was pretty clear, but when I pulled out this dark colored motorcyclist came slowing down and almost hit me in the driver side door. I don't know if I would have died, but that idiot would have. It was a 25 and it looked like he was going 35.

    We were swimming in the community pool one night when I was ten or so. I was sitting on a piece of float that had drifted into an area of the pool that was too deep for me to stand or wade in, but I hadn't noticed until I clumsily got off and wound up over my head in water. I can't swim, either, and probably would have drowned if there hadn't been a concrete ledge nearby that was built into the sidewall of the pool, which I used to get some air and climb out. All I remember after that was going home and vomiting up water for a little while, but thankfully, nothing else bad came out of it.

    I've got quite a few...

    1: I was at the public swimming pool with my siblings (mind you I was very little) and these teens were there as well and they decided to tease me. Then they tried to peer pressure me into swimming in the deep then but I didn't, and then they pushed me into the deep side of the pool and I nearly drowned. A similar thing happened again in Grade 6.

    2: I had an asthma attack when I was 7 and my dad was at the casino that night, but my mom was there. I had to be rushed to the hospital and probs would've died if I wasn't. Since that night my dad refuses to go to casinos.

    3: Not exactly "near death", but I did have a chunk of skin on my knee get cut off back in Grade 6 by tripping and having it fall on a sharp rock. I had to get stitches.

    4: My older brother turned around with a knife as we were making grilled cheeses and literally it was a cm away from my eye.

    5: And then there are those drives with my mom where someone nearly ends up hitting us.

    My most recent one was when I was driving in the rain and there was a truck that skidded and caused a whole bunch of cars to collide, including me, which almost made me go off the bridge that we were going over.

    There were many others but this will stay for now.

    Alright so I got another one. Y'all should know I have a pride issue. Relating to that I was at a summer camp way back when. One day they took us to a lake that was turned into a pool sorta. All sorts of fancy stuff, like rock walls and three water slides. Well all of my friends at the time were getting on this tall rickety one and told me to get on. I'll have you know that I am not a good swimmer, but my need to impress told me that it was close enough to the shadow end that I should be fine. I was terribly wrong. I went down, after a lot of being yelled at to go, and almost drowned. Did I learn my lesson? Probably not

    I happened to almost die 2 times (One from a dog and another from my cat, both from the Philippines) I'm pretty stupid lmao
    One that is I needed to go buy something from the store, then this Dog started to chase me.
    I ran for my life, until I reached home. That dog is now food.
    Another is about Rabies, I got bitten from my Philippines cat (Not directly, but my toe got stabbed in)
    I knew I would have Rabies without treatment. Luckily, I got injections. Whew

    I nearly choked twice. The first time was yhe worst. I could feel the food lodged in my throat and no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn't go down.
    I had my hands around my neck, in the universal choking sign and all my mom could do was ask, panickly, "what?!"
    I was able to cough it up luckily enough. But I had troubles gargling for about a year or so after that.

    The second time, I just manged to hack it up. It was less panic-inducing and I remember nonchalantly telling my coworkers that it got caught in my throat.

    I had two incidents, both related to swimming.

    Incident #1: When I was about 8, I was swimming with two of my childhood friends when one of them decided to push my head underwater. I wasn't prepared for it and went under, almost drowning until the last moment when he stopped pushing. .-.

    Incident #2: My friends and I were at a water park with 'mushroom' structures that produce waterfalls around the circumference of their 'caps' with space to sit around their 'stalks'. One of my friends and I were riding a figure 8 tube around the area where the water comes crashing down when he decided to swim along the circumference, and I had no choice but to follow. The water crashed down over my head and the force pushed me under. I almost couldn't resurface in time to breathe as I kept bumping my head on the bottom of the tube. Most panicky moment that I can remember.

    I remember back when I played soccer a few years back and we'd had a party after a nice win at Josh's place, and it had been storming lately but we ignored it. Went into the pool about half an hour after the cells passed, was in there for maybe ten minutes before lightning struck out of nowhere while I was swimming about three feet under. Gave me the weirdest little tingling sensation while I was down there before this incredibly bright flash and the loudest thing I've ever heard, and it surprised me so much that i surfaced immediately. I was wondering why everyone was screaming before I felt a spasm race up my back, and my mom was screaming for me to get out of the water. Then I figured out what happened and I panicked and hauled ass back inside. Still get uncomfortable around storms to this day. It's funny, the water was what nearly killed me, but I'm pretty sure it's what saved me as well.

    Been awhile for this thread. Fortunately stories always seem to find me. So my cars a.c.is kinda broken. It will pump out semi cold and then hot air (plus it smells funny). It's currently raining so I couldn't roll the windows down. I had to play with the a.c. to keep from dying of heat. Well turns out this caused the windows to fog up from the inside. Combined with the fact that it's humid and warm already, you get fog that you can't wipe away. I had to drive in a busy parking lot, in the pouring rain, at night, with one hand in the wheel and the other trying to wipe away the fog every two seconds.

    I have learned if something causes this to happen, stop doing it. It's extremely dangerous and leads to huge problems. Being unable to see out of your windshield is not good at all.

    And situations like that are indeed exactly why.

    Unfortunately it couldn't be helped. Everything I did made it worse or the same. Even turning everything off
