How close have you come to death?
« on: October 03, 2003, 02:47:12 PM »
One time I was driving on a two lane road.  I was following a camper.  We were going real slow.  He moved over into the oncoming traffic lane to pass a horse trailer.

I, thinking a camper would never pass without a lot of room, moved out with him.

Camper cut back into our regular lane and right in front of me was oncoming traffic.

I barely made it over.  

Every time I think about it I get chills.  It would have been 65-65 head on.  Goner..



Then there was the wasp where I went into anaphylactic shock.  Doc told me I was probably as close to dying as I\'ll probably ever come.  Pretty freaky consider there are wasps everywhere.  But now I am getting treatment and I should be alright.

Cant really remember. Almost fell of a building when i was a kid. We were on the roof and i was looking over this really small banister and my sister scared me but my dad was there and kinda pulled me back. I wasnt far enough to fall but if i panicked maybe.

Then another time when i was younger maybe 3 or so i was climbing on the counter and somehow slipped and hit my head on our metal sink. Still have a small mark above my eyebrow.

I dont know. I guess im a pretty safe person or something cause there arent any crucial points where i think i full-heartedly could have died. Well maybe a couple car accidents but ive never broken a bone in my life.

I was stoned with my buddies and were heading to the mall. We started to notice all the cars pulling over to the side of the road but we didn\'t hear or see anything so we didn\'t. Anywayz there was a fire truck hauling ass and we didn\'t see it till the last second and I swear there was maybe a 3 inch gap between the fire truck and the car.

Twice once when I was about 10 we were at Sun Devil stadium watching one of those minor league football games I think our team was called the Wranglers.. Anywas I was climbing up and down the railing at the top of the lower level and fell head first (about 2 stories) to the ground below. Knocked unconscious for about 6 hours.... No well almost no lasting injuries..

the second time when the day after I kissed my wife (girlfriend at that time) and I was getting off the freeway on my ZX-7 and bang hello chevette she turned in front of me and I t-boned her at 45 flew about 200 feet no helmet the only thing that saved me was a class 2 trama center less that 2 blocks away and some docs were driving home and sitting in the intersection at the time.

shooting my WWI Enfield .303... lying in the prone position, shooting at a 12\'\' circular piece of 1/4" steel hanging on a rope, about 75 yards.

After the third shot, the steel was spinning pretty good. Took the fourth shot and immediately after I heard, "fsfsfsfsfsfsfsfsfsfssssssteeeeooowww"

Riccochet went about 4 inches above my head and to the right. The spinning disc hit the bullet like a baseball, and it splintered the tree behind me. You know those bullet sounds in Saving Private Ryan? Well, they\'re very accurate.

Driving around the bad part of town at night with an idiot friend in the car, he yelled at some guy on the street, next thing we know we\'re being shot at.  I later let him alk home.

Another time a guy tried to mug me with a knife and we got into a fight, I took him down but I still have a scar on my left hand.

When I was 4 or 5 I was thrown off a horse and was about 6 inches from being trampled by the damn thing, and to think my name means lover of horses.  Damn God and his sense of humor.

Almost drowned twice.  (can\'t swim and stupid high school PE teachers forced us non swimmers into the 10 ft deep pool...)

And living in earthquake country kinda puts me at risk everyday.  =P

You gotta learn how to swim... In essence it\'s almost as important as learning to walk....

Oh yeah... When I was 4 years old I was wheelin about on my tricycle, and this girl (about 6 years old) commanded me to let her ride or whatever, and I was like, no! And she picked up a rock, and threw it at my head and literally split my upper frontal bone open slightly. I got a small scar from it...

...the scar re-opened just recently. I was at my gf\'s house, trying to be a macho man by fixing her TV reception. Well she had this huge ceramic gargoyle on top of the TV, and I didn\'t know it. The TV was on this wall mount, so I reached up and swung it around so I could see the back, and "CRACKKKKKKKKKK". The gargoyle smashed into four big pieces on my head.

My girlfriend made that gargoyle. :(

I\'ve done that.  My dad makes soap stone carvings, and he keeps some ontop of the big screen.  I tried to hookup his DVD player I got him for Christmas and I was out cold, it fell from a good 4 feet up.  I think I saw god, he smelled nice.

1) choked on a piece of food and noone around me knew how to do the hemlic..eventually worked its way down but it took a while

2) we left for school 5 minutes late and there was an accident right where we couldve been. Went past the site and cops werent even there yet and some semi kicked the crap outta a car

3) was pitching and the batter hit the ball and it hit me pretty hard on the left arm and bounced all the way back to the fence on the first base line..who knows what it wouldve done to my heart if it hit me a bit more to the right

I live on an island and I don\'t freakin know how to swim. :(

Me and a buncha friends went swimming at a place with a cliff.. I didn\'t wanna go in the deep end, but I wanted to see the view from the top.. Anyway, one of those fags pushed me off and I nearly drowned! Good thing someone was already down there to save me. Since then I\'ve been afraid to get into water where my feet can\'t touch the ground. :(

Swimming is so incredibly easy... I swim competitively for my school, and just tredding in general is really a simple feat. I highly suggest you learn as soon as possible... Water rules.
