Mine is hard to put into words. It involved almost freezing to death in the backwoods of Montana. People are found frozen to death all the time there. Sometimes they are completely naked. Right before you freeze to death the last thing you feel is the burn of your flesh freezing. You are delirious and mistake it for extreme heat, so you get naked to try and cool off. My feet were numb and my hands were getting there by the time I hiked out at night in the dead of winter. My snowmobile broke down 15 miles from my vehicle in the Helena National Forest and I hiked out at night. I was not dressed for hiking and did not have the right outfit for the extrene night temperature which dropped 25 degrees from earlier in the day. It was -10 by the time I made it out. And I had no flashlight. I fell into a creek on my way out, and got soaking wet, which was a big deal because I was wading through snow most the hike. I really thought I may not make it out. I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t get lost. I was very fortunate to say the least.

That doesn’t sound made up at all.

Driving back from Florida late one night. I didn’t notice my fuel gauge was almost on E until the Louisiana line. Had to stop for gas in Slidell.

Barely made it out of a train tunnel in Tunnel Hill, GA before a train going about 60mph entered.

Some friends and I had timed the trains and thought we were well between the schedule. Even stood outside and listened to make sure. We did hear some noise, but thought it was I-75. We got about 60 feet into the tunnel when we heard the train whistle. Nothing but assholes and elbows after that. I had just sat down on top of the entrance to the tunnel when the thing entered.

There were some other friends coming from the opposite direction, half way through. They had to lay face down against the wall.

Don't walk through train tunnels.

Had a schizophrenic patient pull a gun on me only to turn it and shoot herself. Came down from a roof of huge mansion style home that was on fire. Had just cut a hole for ventilation, as I stepped on ladder to come down the part I was just on collapsed. Dumb call on my supervisor having me up there to begin with, house was already a total loss. Got lost in woods at night after finishing hunting, flashlight battery was dead, pre cell phone days, took me several hours of walking into trees and bushes until finally hearing cars on the highway.

Thought a crew I was working a fire with was already inside when a flashover happened, I was 100% sure they were in there as my crew and I came out to get new air bottles. Said to myself they are dead and a few minutes later found out they decided to go in another entrance and hadn’t made it there yet before flashover occurred. I called my wife the c word once, big mistake

What the hell do you know? I talked to a Park Ranger who told me that. He said people get broke down and leave their cars for help and freeze to death. You guys are such Aholes.

Rearended on the freeway and my suv rolled three times. Rolled and slid 80 yards from the initial impact.

Lost my 3 yr old for 2 minutes at Live After Five.
Little fricker walked off to go see the Police Horses.
I felt this dizzy spinning feeling you see in the movies when the camera pans around a person 360° while they freak out. I don't know what that technique is called but it's actually how that shite feels in real life.
