Dave Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 I choked on an ice cube when I was 12 or so. But it dislodged by itself after a few seconds -- didn't even need the Heimlich maneuver! However, the biggest incident where I almost died was when I was involved in that horrific car wreck that most of y'all know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voiciblanche Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Hmmmnnn...a TV fell on my head once, but I don't think I was too close there. Another time my friend was sitting on me in water and I almost drowned. That was scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurkeFan Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Yes, one time was actually pretty close... it was my freshman year in high school and I was on the ski team. After I had run the JV course, I went on a practice run through the course my team had set up. All I remember is starting down the run... for some reason, I had lost control on the way down, spun around, and made contact with a stationary snowmaker which was oddly placed at the direct end of the run. I impacted on my left shoulder, and the impact curved up to behind my right ear. I ran into the machine with such force that the coaches (all of whom saw the accident) literally had to dig me out from underneath the machine. I was unconscious for about 15 minutes straight, and in and out for the next 8 hours. I know that I had stopped breathing twice between when they dug me out and got me to the hospital. Of course, I don't remember any of that part. The first thing that I do remember after starting down the run is waking up in the pediatric trauma center not knowing where I was or why I was there. I had suffered numerous contusions along my neck, a concussion, and a closed head injury. That's my near-death story, from which by all accounts I should never have survived, or even come out as clean as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeenaBobba Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) When I was around nine, my class had taken a trip to Salem, Massachusetts. There was a gazebo across the street from the museum we went to, and my friends and I walked around the ledge, being that it wasn't too high off the ground. On one side, though, there was a stairwell leading under the gazebo. It was about six feet below the ledge of the gazebo. Well, I fell the six feet straight down there and came within inches of smashing the back of my head on the bottom stairs. Eeek. I came out of it only with bruised ribs. Another time was two years ago when I got into a pretty bad car accident. I was going pretty fast on the highway ([i]too[/i] fast), tried to switch lanes, didn't see a SUV, tried to swerve back, and lost control of the car. I ended up crashing into the highway guardrail, spinning across two lanes of traffic, and crashing into a bunch of trees on the other side. The whole time I kept thinking that I couldn't believe I was going to die that way -- and that I didn't want to die. When the car stopped, I thought I was dying 'cause I felt like I was going to pass out. I was spitting blood, too, so I thought I had internal injuries. Turns out I just had a bloody nose and a mild concussion. Phew. Thank God. God bless, Jennifer Edited May 1, 2004 by BeenaBobba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurkeFan Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 That seems to be most people's response... when I told my philosophy prof, his response was "Holy cr-p, dude!" In Christ, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Michael Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) When I was 15, I was riding my bike to the mall, and at one point the route to the mall is on a bridge over a lake. Well, I'm on the sidewalk on the bridge on the oncoming traffic side, and all of a sudden a Suzuki Samurai jumps the curb and is on the sidewalk coming straight at me. For a half-second I was in a panic... because it was either stay where I am and get hit, or throw myself over the side and land on the jagged rocks beside the bridge. But right at the last second the guy behind the wheel wised up and got his car back on the road. :bugeyes: Edited May 1, 2004 by Thomas Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusader1234 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 i was swimming at the lake and it was really cold and wavy and i lost breath and my body seized up, and the dock and the nearest bouys were about 10 meters away. i almost drowned. it might not seem like enar death but i was actually surprised i made it to tbe bouy... i was 7. then last year i jumped off the pier on may long (in manitoba so it was liek only 15 celcius) and then i couldnt reach the rungs on the ladder to get out of the water and i wasnt really scared but i was pretty sure i was about to die. then a wave lifted me up to the rungs and i got out it was pretty sketchy. then, like most people with adhd, ive nearly been hit by cars numerous times.
