I once almost died, well not I'm not exactly sure.

I'm hard of hearing and sometimes I use hearing aid device to help me hear things a bit. One day after school, I got off transits bus, and walked cross streets. As I got over there, I had to cross again other streets and it's pretty big street. But there was few cars. Anyway, I waited for the light to turn green and it did so, there was a man next to me.

I didn't have my hearing aid on that time so I couldn't hear anything.

As usual, I'd start crossing the street but then I saw the cars weren't moving and I wondered. But I started to cross street, man next to me quickly grabbed me and pulled back. I gasped and asked why? He nodded in other direction and I saw 2 polices and an ambulance speeding with their sirens on. They were speeding that they could not stop in time if I actually crossed crosswalk. I sighed in relieve and thanked him.

From now on, I always look both direction before I cross crosswalk even when the light is green.

ALSO, the other one was when I almost slipped in train railway (Sky train) If you fell in it, you'll die immediately because of the shocks. But luckily, there was handlebar next to me and I quickly grabbed it.

What about yours? Did you ever had an almost death experience?

And I almost died when I was born because I took a shit when I was in my moms stomach still and when I was born I couldn't breath very well. I was a green baby :lol:

No never, I'm perfectly healthy so have never had any close calls of a medical or accident nature though I work on a ship and you regularly work in dangerous environments for instance if you fuck around while you're going through a watertight door you could get cut in half because those doors close themselves automatically and don't stop if there is anything in the way.

I have many times been close to killing myself, many i have forgot exactly how but heres the main one i can remember.

well, if you didnt know i do alot of parkour/freerunning every week, one time i had just finished worming up and decided to do some long distance Kong Precision (research it up if you don't know). I had a far run up enough for me to make the jump, started running towards the soft box and konged it, while flying through the air i forgot to push myself upwards and landed on my neck on the side of the precision i was trying to reach, fell off the edge again and landed on my neck once again. i passed out for around 10 minutes because i was lacking oxygen at the time, it felt like i winded myself but it was very painful, after that accident i still have shoulder problems from how i landed. Before this accident i had landed on my neck a few times.

Another one was when i rushed into doing a roundoff backflip, didn't think about how i was going to do it and stopped in mid air, at this point i was looking down towards the floor and knew if i don't braes myself i would of been dead this time, from around 8ft high (if my measurements are correct) i had enough time to braes myself by covering my face, fell onto my arms and only walked out of it with minor injuries.


All my accidents are from landing on my neck, its quite surprising im still here right now haha :p

I don't think I have ever been close to death, but I have a few stories I'll share.

I fainted one time and went unconscious for about 10 seconds, probably because of lack of oxygen. I was so scared because I was passing around 2 blunts between 3 people including myself, so I was pretty high. My vision just slowly started going away into blackness until it was completely black, then I woke up laying on the floor. After I got up I was really dizzy and my vision was light blue. It was like I was looking through blue glass and it changed the color of everything. I was fine after my friends brought me outside to get some air, but it was one of the weirdest things that ever happened to me.

My mom told me when I was a baby I was sick and had a high fever and while she was holding me my eyes rolled back and I wasn't moving or responding to anything, so I was rushed to the hospital. I don't know what happened because I was a baby, but my mom told me it was one of the scariest things that happened to her. :p

Another time where things could have gone bad was when I was walking on a frozen pond with my friends. It was a really weird day near the end of the winter where it was hot and sunny outside, about 80 F / 27 C. There was a part near the shore that didn't even have ice on it at all it was just water, so I don't know how thick the ice actually was. One of us could have easily fell under and I have no clue what would have happened. Luckily the cops came and told us to get off. Gaspkay:

I have a couple of times.. Gather round while Elky explains.

I was on a School Holiday to Italy, and one of the days we went to a Theme-park called Gardaland. Well, my being pumped up and ready for some thrills did the best, fastest etc.. Roller Coaster there was there. It was the Blue-tornado (Look it up)
I was sitting beside a complete random person while all my friends waited for me to finish. When I got on, we all got strapped in expect for me.. The staff in charge of this section, (You know, fastening seats and belts etc..) must have forgotten about me. At this point I was getting a wee bit nervous wondering what was going on, and then before I could say anything the Roller Coaster had started.
It was a long journey to the top at about 5 mph.. Whenever we reached the top, I was shitting a brick. We went down the first slope and were coming close to the loop-to-loop and then it happened. My seat lifted up and I pulled it down as hard as I could till I heard a click and closed my eyes.
I just about made it..

Then after that I went on another Roller Coaster and back on to that one again. ^^ Haha.


Then once I chocked on food for about 25 seconds, going red in the face and coughed it back up.. Happy

The End.
