I flew a paraplane into a set of highline wires. I lost altitude and actually went between the power lines and the top guide cable which wrappped my chute. Swung me over hwy 90 and when I swung back towards the property, the chute came untangled and I was dropped straight down onto a fence.
40 stitches in ankle area was all.
20 family members and friends watched. Sparks, smoke, etc from wires. No one still understands how I'm alive.

Motorcycle accident, was riding along about 55-60 mph through a green light and an old pos turned right on red RIGHT in front of me.
Had something like this except the blind sob saw me *just* in time and I missed his front bumper by about two inches.
Another one was hiking in Glacier N.P. I was unknowingly on a snow ledge that started to shift underneath me. I got away just before it collapsed down a 60 degree slope that led over a long drop.

Had gun to my head during armed robbery. Told multiple times I would be killed.

I'm 66. Every day is a brush with death. BFD.

On a 6-foot ladder.
Split open an electrical conduit with a pipe cutter.
Break conduit in half, it bites into the wires ( which were supposed to be dead).
I "complete the circuit". A.K.A. Caught in the death grip for about 5-10 seconds.
Jump off ladder; break circuit.
If I'm not on the ladder, Tiger Droppings is spared my shitty posts.

Last weekend on Toledo Bend fishing way back in a cove and did not have any clue what the changing weather had done to the lake. I fish a good bit but was literally scared for my life on that ride back to the landing. It was so rough it broke the trolling motor mount on a 21' 10" boat.

Driving my girlfriends Tahoe to my wife's house to pick up my kids and go shopping. I was fighting with both of them on the phone when everything started getting black, and I remember thinking I need to pull over. When I woke up, there was a police man standing out side the car window with the fire dept and ems.i ran into a house or building, and he was asking me questions that I had no clue what the answers were... Do I know my name... Where I'm at... The year.. Ect. Heart attack.
