Wut did you do

I don't really have one moment, I have a few haha. Some more terrifying than others but they were all pretty scary in the moment.

The first time was in elementary school I was at my friend's birthday party and we went swimming, but I didn't know how to swim. For some reason I tried jumping out into the water and I pretty much started to drown until my friend pulled me out of the pool. That made me fear swimming for the longest time but eventually I got over it haha.

Then during my freshman year in highschool my life-long friend got really really drunk (18 shots of Crown Royal Black is what he said he drank) and I had to carry him home but before we could get there he passed out, hit his head, and started puking everywhere (like a person who's wasted does). Well since my friends and I were only 15 we got scared and called an ambulance which turned out to be the best thing to do because we later found out he would have died of alcohol poisoning had we not done anything. It was terrifying because this was my first, and only, encounter with someone like this and it happened to be one of my best friends so I didn't want to lose him.

Also there was the shooting at the 420 Denver Pot Rally. Some friends (one of them being the guy from the last story) and I went downtown this year to celebrate 420 when gunshots started going off. I was like 30 feet away from where the gunshots were and when they went off everybody got the fuck out of there. There was 5 thousand people or something like that all running in different directions, it was pretty crazy. I look back and realize it wasn't that big of a deal but being there while it happened was crazy because nobody knew what the fuck was going on.

Lastly, there was falling in the Boulder River a few weeks back. That was pretty crazy and I have two big ass scars on my side from the experience. I was trying to cross the river on a big tree branch (yeah I know it was a stupid idea but it was our only option because we were in a hurry) and after seeing my friend (the same guy from the last two stories haha) do it I figured I could but NOPE, it slipped off of the bank and I fell in with it and had to have my friend pull me out.

There are some other times like watching bodies get carried out of my neighbor's house when I was like 8, seeing the FBI and National Guard at my elementary school in 4th grade, being part of a field fire (being an accessory to starting it) in 5th grade, and some other stuff but that is too much to type haha so I'll leave it at that

Dang man, thats some intense stuff!

As the title says, what would you regard as a very terrifying experience or encounter? For me, when I was 12-13 my Uncle was robbed at gun point at his house close to mine about 2 minutes away. I couldn't sleep for months knowing that someone with intentions to harm, was still out in public. Very traumatizing.
