Answer 1

18 years old flipping a car off the road into a lake at night (pitch black) in cold November.
Then being attacked by a German Shepard at the house I walked up to to find help.
after this I experienced the scariest moment when my dad came to pick me up at the location of the accident, I thought he was going to kill me.

Answer 2

I have nearly drowned twice once when i was seven - we were playing on some stepping stones and there was a deeper bit over the bridge - all i remember is being pulled out apparantly my nails were dug in the concrete that separated the two. I also lost my jelly shoe.

the second time i was 15 and sodding about on a body board? anyway i was loosly strapped in and paddling on my front when all of a sudden the board decided it wanted to go on my back and was forcing me and my face in the water and of course i couldnt touch the floor as we were mucking about in the river

I had swimming lessons from the age of 5 - 11 and still couldn't swim. But i took some more last year age 25 and i can now swim !

a third time - non swimming related aged 12/13

my brother stole my chocolate and ran off down the road so obviously i chased him. I managed to catch up and grabbed his top/jacket but he shook me off - into the road. anyway i was proper star shaped on my back and lifted my head up to a pair of head lights coming towards- that was probably the scariest as i just froze.

Am i lucky or unlucky?

Answer 3

Was driving my car in the middle of the country, 20minutes from anything and drove right into a storm with 75mph winds and a tornado. So I was trying to find anywhere I could to take shelter. Then I saw a factory and all the doors were looked and it looked empty but there were hundreds of cars in the lot. So I found a garage door where the semis pull in that was barely open. I crawled underneith and found all of the employees in a tornado shelter. Now I am terrified to be in my car during storms. The tornado over turned cars and took roofs off houses. it was scary!

Answer 4

Has to be when i was given a high dose of penicillin to which i'm totally allergic to! I remember my mum and my daughter at my bedside. They were talking to me and i could see them on and off, felt i was being pulled somewhere if i didn't know where it was and said "O God i'm dying" I know that because they both told me afterwards ... After that ... Nothing until i woke up 3 days later in ICU with tubes everywhere, a machine breathing for me. Nurse later on told me that, and as i was coming to, breathing unaided, they removed the tube off my throat and all i would say was"Good grief! Death's the same as being alive! They have hospitals too" Before i went out like a light sleeping!!!

While working in a very large Hotel i was alerted to a shifty looking customer in the building. I followed him to the third floor , where he entered a bedroom which was being cleaned. I grabbed him, arm behind his back and marched him down to the back offices to await the Police. All the way he kept saying " your hurting me let my arm free " when in the office and released him, he had a 10in knife wrapped in a newspaper under his arm.......think if I'd given in I'd have been a goner......

I was driving when I was dazed out and almost crossed to yellow thinking it was a muti-lane road, I realized and the last second that it was a single lane and that I was about to drive head on into a tractor tailer.
