Ever nearly died?

[-Heart]

Saw a group about it on Facebook and thought it'd be a jolly good and heart-warming discussion.

So.. discuss and what not.

but Plod has! He slipped today on the ice after going for a bike ride, but he slipped walking, not on his bike!

[syko2006]

I havn't nearly died, and I hope not to have such an experience either.

you had one today ;l

[Haaaaarry1]

umm... I choked on a Shreddie like two weeks ago. Not even joking, it was quite scary lol

But apart from that I've done alright so far :P

[Arron]

yesterday yes.
i was up a steep hill, and it was too steep to slide down and i slipped and i ended up running like usain bolt and i fell over into a bush of thorns.

[Nixt]

Haven't actually been shot, it was while it was in spam. Probably the closest to death I've ever been is when there were complications with my appendicitis. Nothing exciting. I was too good in the army to ever get shot.

[syko2006]

you had one today ;l

Bike riding isn't a near death experience. :)

[kk.]

is that a euphemism for your signature ;l

[syko2006]

Uhm, nope? :S LOL.

[Accipiter]

well main one was having the umbilical cord round my throat when i was born.

about 3 years ago i was a few seconds from passing out on a cup cake i scoffed and didn't want to be caught eating ended up choking and nearly dying off it so *REMOVED* if im caught scoffing my face now.

and another one is probaly getting hit by 5 pier waves while hanging onto a rusty ol' fence ;D which was to fun to remember how near to death it was at the time.

I got knocked onto the tracks at my local station when i was 12 by some obnoxious spanish bloke who was like "I NEED TO GO TRAIN NOW" I was absolutely fine though and no trains were coming but a policeman was on the platform lololol

Got him done for assault lol

[Ardemax]

i choked on spaghetti for 5 mins lulz

[ecstasy]

May I ask how? :O
Few years back I was on a trampoline with my mates, caught an awkward bounce, got flung into the air and landed on my back on my garden wall, arched and everything. Hurt like **** but somehow I came out pretty much unscathed

I've nearly been run over twice. Once when I just ran across the road without looking because I was a kid, and another when some moron in a van didn't indicate.

[OmgitsAmanda]

last night because i nearly set the house on fire at 4am or something. whatever happened, i was woken up and told that anyway.

that kinda happened to me
my brother told me to land on my back and he'd jump off the shed onto the trampoline to make me bounce, he did + i fell onto the concrete behind it and fractured my tailbone :( & he kicked the shed window doing that and sliced his leg >.> makes me cringe thinking aboutboth. trampolines are well dangerous, not that we helped :eusa_ange

but no never nearly died.

[Jordy]

To be fair none of you have had near death experiences, some of you have come close to serious injury but even then, it would be a small chance.

I don't really think I've had a near death experience either :P

[Caution]

The umbilical cord got wrapped around my neck in the womb before my Mum gave birth, I've had an electric shock and a few car crashes. Not really near death, buy ye.

[Randomme]

Well i had a LOVELY Christmas night.... :D

It all started with icy roads ( we thought would be gritted ). So going to leave my sister to her Boyfriends when we saw an accident, we made a quick turn right to avoid squashing them any worse. so we turned onto a death zone of ice! Car lost control....Span around 3 times... 1 inch away from an electric pole in the side of our car and going in the hedge luckily my dad loves Diffing (its an irish expression for 360 turns or donought or w.e. English people say as im not from England) so he knew to pull the handbrake and clutch and put into 2nd gear rather than brake alltogether...so my dad's a lifesaver tbh... :D

[Oleh]

Well not exactly, my mum ran me over when i was about 5 (reversing up drive and literally ran over my arm)
My cousin hit me with a golf club round my face full whack when i was 3, mum was crying when i walked in house my face was covered in blood and gave me and ice pop to stop it hurting but i ate the icepop cos it didnt hurt lulz.

[Rozi]

Nah don't think so. I'm too careful to tbh. did fall down the stairs once and like pass out for 10 secs.

[Isolde]

Only once in my life I thought I was going to die and that was when I was on holiday in Turkey and was hiking on the mountains and I got bitten by a snake, I saw light flashing before my eyes but I think that was the sun when i collapsed.. Luckily we wasn't far from the ground so dad call the medic crew and they had me rushed to hosiptal.. I stayed there for hours i was unconcious couldn't feel a thing aparently while i was nocked out they sucked the poison out and it wasn't a dangerous snake but it could've killed me if i was left untreated for long. So i guess i was lucky.

[-Heart]

I've had 2, ish.

The first was a few years ago, I was quite tired and woke up in the middle of the night because I was cold, so I went to get a shirt out of my wardrobe, but for some reason decided to reach for the shirt that was ONTOP of the wardrobe (tall and heavy wardrobe) and I had to literally climb up it (used to be quite short) and my wardrobe just buckled, and fell on me *pauses for laughter*. Anyway, thankfully as the wardrobe was falling the doors swung open, which was lucky because if the doors were closed I'd imagine they would of crushed me or seriously injured me, and thankfully my head was under the top of the wardrobe which was quite sharp-edged. Quite a long story but, yeah :P.

Second one was when I was in a car "crash" with my brother, he went too fast round this roundabout and when he turned off the roundabout the car span into a ditch and nearly knocked over a sign-post. Came away just a bit shook up and with a minor leg injury.

[Black_Apalachi]

oh wait, i crashed into a curb and barrier on the driver's side at about 70mph in an old Mini.. and it was on a bridge type thing so if it had gone over the barrier then...:eusa_booh

[dbgtz]

Almost got ran over by a speeding car.

I had this one point where I literally couldn't do anything without breathing heavily and no matter how long I rested for like 10 minutes I couldn't stop breathing and like my vision turned into one of those cartoony camera tones, it was weird. I didn't think I was going to die but I didn't know what happened.

Thirdly an allergic reaction but I didn't think I was going to die either.

[Gullable]

you know what i have'nt come close to dieing but ive had everything wrong with my throat, done numerous things to my feet, pulled my back twice ( by lifting up my sisters friend when i was like 3ft tall and when i lifted my dog up), when i got my foot caught in barb wire and like everyone from my street came to look, the fireman said i was attention seeking, yeah i was born to be ill.

[Geraint]

Well, maybe not I would have died in some but could have.

Firstly, went to WBA away to see Cardiff and they took all the buses together in one go with about 5 minutes left till kick off. And to those who've been there you'll know how small that walkway is. Anyway, got to the top, about 5 rows of people in front and the police said "stop". Right, I'm small and there's about 1000 people behind me wanting to get into the ground and there's a line of police stopping me. Pushing starts and I'm struggling to breath and some of us could well have been crushed in that but luckily the police couldn't hold on any longer.

Secondly, again with football (I see a pattern), travelling up the motorway me and my dad and a lorry goes past on the other side and on the back there's a couple of tractor wheels or big wheels w/e. They can't have been tied on properly so off two come. One goes straight down the motorway on their side and one veers off to our side. Luckily, it hits the crash barrier in the middle otherwise we might have been goners. Fortunately, I don't think anyone around us was injured either.

Thirdly, although this was **** all really, I got by a car on my bike. Blitzed it round a corner, out of the lane and bam smacked a car. Luckily, it was a small street so the car was going pretty slow and I hit the wheel. But he could have been going the other way and might have gone quicker.

Last but not least, my appendix was like 10 minutes from bursting and that can lead to some stuff which can kill in some cases but in most they cure.

Okay, they're all pretty crap but hey ho.

[Black_Apalachi]

oh and i nearly got trampled by a police horse at the Liverpool homecoming in 05 (them horses are ******* MASSIVE)

edit@above: my dad had something wrong with his appendix when he was a kid, but the doctor didn't know that it was that and just said he'll be ok but his mum took him to the hospital anyway and it turned out he would have died.
and the wheels thing sounds epic :O

[brandon]

Nearly got ran over by an ambulance when I was coming out of Carrow Road. Can think of worse things to be ran over by.

[Orangeesh]

nope i aint.

[FlyingJesus]

I was meant to be miscarried apparently or something like my mum went into hospital and was losing me but then I was like actually cba carry on so I didn't die there and then summer 2008 I think it was I went to France on a booze cruise with a couple of chums paid like £14 for all the ferry tickets so was like cool and then on the way back to the port it had been raining like mega and we were going 55 uphill on the motorway and didn't know there was a roundabout coming up god knows why there was a roundabout on a motorway but yeah car in front braked hard so I had to then the wheels locked etc etc slippy slippy bit of instinctive driving and sliding backwards for a bit then managed somehow to land parallel with the barriers up against them and if we'd been like at any angle at all the lorries coming up behind us would have totally obliterated the lot of us but as it was no-one even got a scratch and I somehow the car had survived had to pay like £165 to fix it though so didn't save much on the booze cruise really punctuation is for losers

[ColyTom]

I've nearly drowned three times:
once was serious as I fell into a river and was floating downstream untill my mate pulled me out (I was a really weak swimmer at the time as well), another time was in a lifeguarded swimming pool so it wasn't as bad but I couldn't stand up and I had fallen underneath and I found it hard to breath and the other time was when I drifted out to see on a rubber ring untill a man on a canoe rescued me.

[Jahova]

Could have been blind, but not die.

[Tash.]

I could've drowned when I was 10 on holiday in menorca. I went into the sea on like an infatable boat dinghy thing, fell out and then sorta drifted into deep water. Then i sorta got stuck on some rocks (I couldn't swim), but luckily this man, god knows who he was came over and like pulled me back to the shore haha. Oh my days, if I was older I might've died of the embarassment alone.

[ItsDave]

I've hit the door of a car, like if I didn't look right and left I would have been on the bonnet :/ . My sister has pushed me over onto concrete and cracked my head open, and thats it I reckon.

[Arch]

ive had my foot run over by a car which i guess wouldnt of killed me but another step and i coulda been gone i suppose

[Richie]

I wouldn't say I nearly died but I got my neck stuck under one of those floating rope thingys in swimming.

[colourpot]

Erm kinda i surpose, i had a mild form of appendicitis but the doctors kept me in hospital over night to keep an eye on me, it was about 3am and i woke up screaming because the pain had got really bad, nurse came over and called in a doctor and my apendix had inflamed really bad and was a like 65% chance of exploding (or what ever they do). But they got some drugs in me and couldnt opperate untill the morning (long story) but by morning the drugs had worked and there was no point opperating, so i still have them in, dont ask how or why because its just confusing, although by the time im 20 they said i will have to have them out, well im 17 this year.

[Browney]

Hmm, well, 3 years ago, I was at my Grandad's funeral and my stomach hurt really bad to the point I had to lay down. I thought it was just stress so the next day when I woke up, I couldn't move and my fingers and toes were tingling. So I came back home from Sunderland, and I couldn't stand up straight, I was just doubled over the entire time. So this went on for a like a week but I decided to get checked out. They thought it was food poisoning so I was like o kk. But then I got worse so my mum took me to A&E and they found out I had a ruptured appendicitis. I had an abscess of a litre so my belly was all swollen. They rushed me into surgery, cut me open, pulled me bits out, sterilized inside me because ruptured appendixes can go septic easy, then put my bits back in. Spent time in high dependency. Could have been a few days from going septic and poisoning my organs.


Last but not least, my appendix was like 10 minutes from bursting and that can lead to some stuff which can kill in some cases but in most they cure.

Soft lad!

...Am I your dad?

[Eoin]

I was stabbed and robbed by some jaikey outside an off-licence. Hes stabbed me in the abdoment and the knife bust my colon and caused internal bleeding. Took my wallet + phone and left me to die. I managed to shout the shopkeeper and he phoned an ambulance. He comforted me and came to the hospital with me (good man). Underwent emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding, which took ageees but i was patched up by the end. But being chibed was the most painful thing ive ever experienced.

Also my dad done that thing were he holds your head underwater for ages at the swimmin. I started to see stars when i was underwater and thought i was away to die! He eventually let me up with me crying and gasping for air. LOL
