Post your near-death or other terrifying experiences

Have you ever been truly terrified? I'm not talking about monsters under your bed, a spider falling on your desk, somebody sneaking up on you, or even a corn maze on Halloween. No, this is about those vehicular accidents, falls, illnesses, armed robberies, natural disasters, and any other fight-or-flight moments you've been through. What were they, and how did you react?

  • Im old, so there are many. At 5 years of age in cali, i was riding a bike near the house in the morning, when a drunk driver in a truck ran me over, luckily the truck was lifted, and i slid under with no harm, bike got destroyed. 8 years old i contracted a rare bacteria that caused me to cough bits of my lung up, it was caught so late i had my last rights read to me while in a french intensive care unit. At 9 i was downhill skiing with my father in Norway, when a fog came in, dodged another skiier, and lodged myself into the snowbank. A cold sensation on my side revealed a 2" sharp branch had ripped my jacket to shreds, an inch more and i would have been impaled. At ten in belgium, i was playing with a friend near a water drainage pipe, i slipped and felt a stinging sensation in my leg, my friend went white, when i looked down , i had managed to cut two 8" long 4" deep gashes in my leg to the bone. Suffice to say, it freaked my parents out, the nerve damage was pretty bad. In my driving career i have been involved in twelve accidents, 1 i was at fault for. The worst was in a van, on the way to a phish concert. The person driving wasn't paying attention and upon approaching traffic, went for the open lane, we were the final car in a 26 car pile up, 55 mph to a dead stop. Riding bmx, i have had many near calls riding relating to brain injuries, same with snowboarding. Ive been robbed three times at gun point, and once got cold cocked with the gun from behind. Tis why i conceal carry. I have had three death threats direcvted towards me from convicted felons i got arrested. Another reason i carry. I have many more, and when i think of them, ill be sure to add. Tis been an eventful life so far, and im not even touching on the amazing shit ive seen to be honest.
