Almost die once?
Forums › General Discussion › Almost die once?-
I had a Mae West malfunction on a static line jump. When I checked my canopy I saw the malfunction, looked around to check my rate of decent compared to the other jumpers. I was falling like a rock! I Deployed my reserve but still hit the ground like ton-o-bricks. I was winded so bad I was sure I was gonna die. A fellow paratrooper saw me hit and came running over. He saw me gasping for air and completely freaked out. He thought I was gonna die. His freak out convinced me I was gonna die. After what seemed like forever I caught my breath and realized I was gonna live. After a few minutes i walked away with nothing more than some wicked bruising.

I was a toddler when I nearly drowned in my aunt's in-ground swimming pool. There was a party going inside the house, but I was left unattended. My cousin, who was a few months older than I was, noticed I was at the bottom of the pool and told my aunt, who saved my life.
There were other instances where my injuries could have been much worse. I was about 12 when my friend dared me to ride me bike down a large hill. I made it half way down, when I lost control and smacked my helmetless-head on the ground. I walked away very dizzy with a bad headache and a bent bike and tire frame.
Another instance occurred in grade school gym class, when we played soft ball. I was playing centerfield and a class mate was playing left field. There was a shallow pop fly that I called for, but my classmate either didn't hear me or just wanted to catch the ball. He came running full force, jumped, and struck me in my sternum with his elbow. It was very hard for me to breathe, as I was taken to the hospital immediately.

No. I wasn't thinking far enough ahead to hold on to it. It's somewhere on Holland DZ at Ft. Bragg. I wish I had held on it though.

YOLO

Almost been hit by over 20 cars while biking lol

Rolled my car five times .

I have died a couple of times - got blown up overseas and had to be revived 3x over.
-
Twice. Both were water-related.

I've never been very close to death...I've nearly killed several people though. My younger sister was 9 years-old when I almost accidentally shot her through the throat with a blow-dart gun.

Yes last December

I was hit by a semi carrying a full load of gravel. It broke 27bones and left me in a coma for five days. It took a year and a half of PT and surgeries. I had to learn how to use my left hand again, tie my shoes, eat with a fork.....I was a 19yr old infant.....through much work and many hours of struggle, I lead a semi normal life....(no pun intended) I have surpassed all of the doctors expectations of recovery and continue to believe that most recovery is mental. You either can or cannot, whichever you believe, is true.

I launched my car into a clump of smallish trees ... Hit them maybe a meter off the ground and landed on top of them as they collapsed. I walked away, but the damage to the car roof told a story of its own: something very solid had hit it, right beside my head. Glad it didn't go through the windscreen.
Tried some drugs I shouldn't have (drugs are bad, m'kay) and am lucky to still be alive.
Cut through an extension power lead with a tomahawk as a youngster, then decided to check if it was hot. It was, and I've never tried playing with high voltage electricity again.
Totalled a car doing 100km/h when a 4X4 on my side of the road pushed me off the road. Full 360 spinout and hit the guardrails backwards. Five or six people have been killed on that corner in the last ten years, but I walked away (swearing and shouting of course).
...and i also have numerous motorbike, snake, tree climbing, mountain climbing and drowning related experiences that should or could have killed me.

3 years ago delivering pizza. Pull to a gated community. Guy opens my door and puts two in me. First one shattered my collar bone, ripped thur my torso out my right ass cheek. Number 2 entered under my left armpit missing my heart but took 22% of my left lung and 63% of my right. Then pulled me out and preceded to fracture my ankle as he drove off. 6 months ICU 12 surgery.
I heard they found my car half a mile away with no pizza. Never caught the guy. -

I almost died several times. Some were intentional, but most were accidents.
Overdosed on coke and heroin. Was actually flatlined when the ems arrived.
Flipped a 84 f-150 nine times.
Was in the middle of a tornado and a huge chunk of roof hit me in the head.
Fell asleep behind the wheel of my 86 Buick gnx and struck a tree at an estimated 110 mph.
Shot in the chest by a smaller caliber handgun, but my zippo lighter stopped the bullet from being lethal.
Was swordfighting and misjudged my opponent. His sword sliced into my leg, narrowly missing my femoral artery. -
Fell of my dock...missed the boat by a few inches I think!

That would suck, choking on an ice cube hoping it will melt on time, and if it didn't the ice would melt before someone knew how you died. Kinda freaky.I've almost died a couple of times the first I was eating soup and I choked on an ice cube and about 2 minuets of choking I started changing color and I can't remember half of what happened but I remember thinking that I was gonna die and I would never see my parents again.😰
