BF2S Forums Have you ever almost died?

Got stitched by a scorpion in Saudi Arabia in 77', had about 15 min left to live, and as you know women aren't allowed to drive there so i had a prob getting to hospital because all the men where at work and the camp i lived in was far out in the desert near Ad Dammam. Then we got some street workers to drive us (my mom and me) there, but he got in an car crash too.... anyhow someway we got there in time and i got 5 huge injections... that was the worst part.... but still alive.... dam law in Saudi...
       

p.s.: sorry for the the spelling a little rusty my English

p.s.s.: don't know if the law is still active that women aren't allowed to drive....

many many times. twice i was jumping on my dads bed when i was 4, i fell off the bed hitting my head on the ground. i could oh snap my neck instead, 2 TIMES.

I stook a key in an outlet when i was 4, now looking back, im suprised i didnt pass out.

Drank paint, very sick! when i was 6

Almost snapped neck again for the third time, falling down a stairs.

I think Darwin was speaking directly about you in the whole "Survival of the Fittest and Smartest" bit.

Every time I sneeze I am close to death.

About a year ago I was doing 90 MPH per hour in the rain (trying to pass a semi so I could see), and hydroplaned.  After three 180s and I hit the semi twice, and went across 2 lanes of traffic on Interstate 75.  All of this while in a 2001 S10 extended cab.

i woke up 2 times and couldnt breathe..... couldnt talk..... couldnt breathe needless to say it was very scary.. 
ive also had 2 open heart surgerys, your pretty much dead throught the surgery your not breathing and your heart isnt beating.. so close enough.

i was driving on a highway and it was wet. out of nowhere this construction sign was out too far, so i had to swurve(sp?) around it. since it was nice and wet out i slid all over the place and hit a barrel, then swurved back and then back into the barrels, trying to avoid the wall. finally i did a 270 degree turn right in front of a gastanker, no shit. and was almost t-boned by it.

that was by far the scarriest thing i have ever been through.

I was in a plane crash. That's probably the closest to death I've ever been, by far.

kinda embarassing but when I was like 5 or something, I went to this water park in the Caribbean(can't remember where) and my dad was calling me that we were going. And we were in this place where the water was shallow and there was like a shit load of people and little kids. I also liked going underwater a lot for some reason so as I marched out of the pool I went underwater a few times. As I went under, I tried to get back up but I couldn't. I struggled to get my head above water but I realized I was stuck in something. But then these two people pulled me up kind of and when I was above water, I realized I was stuck right inside this lady's ring floatie that was around her belly. Smack right into her boobs lol.

Hit head on when I was going down the highway at 55mph by a speeding truck coming around a corner.  The guy totaled my car and pushed the steering column up so far that there was about a foot between the seat and the steering wheel.  Should've broken both legs or killed me and all I had was a bruised sternum and a pulled muscle in my biceps muscle.  Guardian angels FTW!

I was in Afghanistan in December 2001, we were in a fire fight, and I was behind a group of big rocks.  I was reloading my weapon, but was being way too fast about it.  The magazine flew about 2 feet away from me.  I low crawled out to go pick it up, and a line of bullets hitting the ground came flying right past my face destroying the magazine.  If I wasn't too scared to shit myself, I would have.

I got electrocuted once. A small zap though, left my arm numb for a few minutes.

To say you were electrocuted is like saying you drowned a little.

tr.v. e·lec·tro·cut·ed, e·lec·tro·cut·ing, e·lec·tro·cutes

   1. To kill with electricity: a worker who was electrocuted by a high-tension wire.
   2. To execute (a condemned prisoner) by means of electricity.

At the age of 38, I honeslty can't remember all the times I have almost died, but I can recall a few....

As very small kid my cousin Rex told me to lick the ground wire on a 3 to 2 prong plug and it kcocked me about 10 feet off of the wall but in no way was I elecrtocuted - just a hell of a shock.
Hit by a car in 2nd grade, the car I was in was at a stop light and I told the lady who was driving our car pool that I could cut through the yards to go home and before she could say anything I got out and ran straight into a car going the other way.
In high school I got so wacked out on acid that I somehow ended up inbetween the lanes of a very busy highway - not sure how I made it out of that one.
In college someone undid the quick release on the front tire of my mountian bike. Flying dow a hill I hopped a curb, front wheel went away, forks dug in and I catapulted over the handlebars and smacked my forehead really hard (was going about 30 mph) on the grass about 12 inches past a concrete sidewalk. Knocked the fuck out for a couple of minutes until a guy I had class with shook me awake - I then proceded to go over to what I though was my girlfriends house and she informed me that I had broken up with her two weeks earlier - no shit.
I've also been in at least a dozen car wrecks, impailed myself with a sharp stick in a mountian bike race, broken countless bones and had hundreds of stiches. Those last two are moslty due to my fondness for Kentucky Straight Bourbon.
Thats all that comes to mind right now....  Great thread...  + 1 to creater.

When i was 16 I built a jacobs ladder out of a neon transformer, a wood block and two welding rods. They were two far apart and i ASSumed the transformer was off. My hands were actually hot from the shock and i got bucked.
