BF2S Forums Have you ever almost died?

When I was 2, jumping up and down on a rocking chair. I flew across the room, and nailed my head on the corner of our brick fire place.

Took off about 2 inches of brick, 1 1/2 inches ended up inside my head.

Plastic Surgery FTW!

Yeah, once riding to a nearby town, 2 cars were dragin each other on the road and one was about 30cm from hitting me.

not me.......yet

Me?  No.  I've had a few really really close calls in cars, say crashing into a curb at 70 mph with my friend driving, and missing a poll by about a foot.

But my friend's sister has medically died 3 times, and has been revived each time.  I feel real sorry for her.  3 times?  Dead, then alive.

Nuts.

having a bike race with a truck. friends and i were riding bikes and i bet i could beat the truck to his house. i was on the left side of the road and the truck was on the right. i crossed over and missed getting hit by the truck by inches. nearly been eletricuted many times. knocked myself out on a tree stump while hiking. ill probably think of more later

I got rear ended by a semi (not trailer luckily) in my gramps mailibe, if i'd been in the Back seat i'd be dead, luckily we had forgotten to pick up my little bro, or he'd have glass in his head.

I also landed on my back after getting 5 feet of air while mountain biking. I had the wind knocked outta me for 10 min and my eyes were going black then they'd be good, then black again, then ok again, repetitively. Amazingly I broke nothing in both situations.

not in bf2 silly, in real life.

ohhhhhhhhh....

I was in high school in winter in St. Louis (plenty of snow/ice in the winter there) and I lived at the bottom of steep hill.  I'm riding my bike to my buddy's house and as I coming down the other side of the hill onto the main 4-lane outlet, I guess I really didn't think about stopping in the snow.  I tried to brake and im just sliding down this hill full speed with cross traffic just ahead about 20 feet.  At the last second I threw out my left arm and grabbed the stop sign and basically whipped myself around that sign pole and onto a yard next to the road.  I often wonder what would have happened if instinct hadn't kicked in.

Um...i dunno if this counts but i definitly shit my pant...was driving down the 10 fwy here in la when there was an accident on the other side. Old impala come flying @ the center divider / me and winds up ON the divider as i pass by through all the dust / chunks of crap. I wouldnt have been able to avoid it in that split second without causing another accident because i was boxed in.  That was a HOOOLY SHIT moment for sure.

Well.  That explains a lot.

I almost got run over by a car when I was 7.  I had yet to develop the idea known as "depth perception", so I wasn't allowed to cross by myself.  My brother challenged me to a race across the street back home.  He said "After this car passes, we'll go."  All I heard was "go"

^.^ whoops.

When I was like 5 or so, I fell out of my dad's box on his pick-up (it wasn't moving, thank god) and I landed head first ont he concrete. Just a concussion. That's not really close to dying though...

Ive almost died three times

1: I worked for a pool company here in town, doing installs, service, etc.  A co-worker and I were out at a house putting a new liner.  We could see a storm rolling in, so we started packing stuff up (because you cant isntall liners in rain), the storm rolled in pretty fast, and as I was carrying some equipment back to the truck, I was kinda running back because it was raining hard.  Lightning struck the tree I was next to (about 5-6 feet away), causing a surge to obiously go into the drenched ground.  My knees went weak mid run and I fell...laid there for a sec, got feeling back and went on about my business.  Co-worker thought I got hit lol.

2: Was in Daytona, FL on spring break vacation with a buddy.  We were walking down the median of A1A.  At a point in the median, there was a cross walk.  As I stepped into the crosswalk area, a Nickels Bakery delivery truck drove by, one of the ones with the big side mirrors that stick out real far.  Had I not stepped into the crosswalk section, the mirror would have nailed the back of my head.  BTW, my friend I was with, saw the truck coming, but failed to mention it to me.....guess he thought it would have been funny lol

EDIT: Forgot one

3: When I was about 4 or so, I tried to jump off of a rollercoaster at Kings Island.  It was The Racer, I was "big" enough to ride, but was small enough to get scared and weasel myself out of the restraints.  My dad had to hold me in.  If not, I would have jumped off, at the time I was pretty scared.

Once, it was a bike crash on a very, very, sharp hill...
