re: Closest you've ever been to death

I've had a few close calls but the most interesting was when
I was walking back from lunch and was in the middle of the street at an intersection that had a red light. Two cars crashed in the intersection I was walking in and one spun around. Instead of running away I just froze and watched the car (it seemed like slow motion) until it stopped not knowing if it was going to hit me. It didn't hit me and I think I was in shock because I didn't even check on the people or anything I just walked back to work.

I t-boned a 1/2 ton pickup in the rain going 55mph in a Altima. When I saw him pull out in front of me and try to cross both lanes, I thought I was done for.

On a side note, adrenaline is fuking awesome.

Dad drove drunk all the time.

You tell anyone and i'll..

oh wait.. don't want to break my own keyboard.

:/

I choked on some Frosted Flakes. I almost got taken out by Tony the Tiger.

when the dude almost ran us over at Endymion. That was insane he didn't kill anyone

6 months old, had pneumonia. The doctors told my parents to make funeral arrangements.

A car once ran a red light going at least 100 and trimmed the front of our car. The guy fish tailed but kept on going. If my brother-in-law had been half a second late on hitting the breaks, the guy would have t-boned us right on my side of the car.

I also once was face to face with a potentially pissed off 6'5" big red kanagaroo who I hought was about to kick my arse. Fortunately I had some bread in my hand which he accepted as a bribe not to kill me.

I've been rushed to surgery on a crash cart, with a priest giving the Episcopalian version of last rites. I still have nightmares about it, but the cool thing about being a 10/10 on the pain scale is, normal injuries just don't hurt as much.

Lost control of my car and hit 18 wheeler at full speed. My car did multiple flips and ended on the other side of the curb totalled and smashed.

Did not even have a bruise. The 10 seconds felt like an eternity.
