Have you ever had a near-death experience?

Question

I've had two. The scariest one was when I was out in the woods behind a family friend's house with her daughter and my little sister. We were several hundred yards away from the house, playing in an old barn, when I heard a puma growl. All I could think about were all those horror stories of people who were killed by pumas. The weird part about it was that I was ready to kill myself if it meant saving the girls. Luckily, I kept calm enough to walk back to the house as fast as i could with the girls in front of me because the growl had come from behind us. we all ended up ok. in the end, i'm not positive if we were ever in any danger, but i'm pretty sure it was a close call.
what about all you people out there? ever had an experience where you just barely escaped with your life, or at least felt like you could have died?

Answer 1

Every day is a near-death experience.

Answer 2

Twice
One. I was driving my truck and took a curve going way too fast; I hit the gravel on the shoulder, overcorrected and flipped it more than 3 times. I walked away from it with a minor shoulder injury. The rough of the truck made like a teepee where my head was.
Two. I was with a friend of mine in Pensecola during a Tropical Storm. He thought it was a good idea to "just walk a little ways into the water". Well we walked further than we should have and the undertow took us. It took 4 lifeguards and we almost drowned them too.
The second one felt like a closer call than the first one. I'm not sure if it was or not. I just don't remember much from the first one because I think I blacked out a couple of times. The second one I remember every detail. So I don't know.

Answer 3

that would be really scary! unfortunately i have had a couple too. i think the two most recent were when i slipped on a boat dock and smashed my head into it on the way down and then fell into the water. All i remember is actually falling and then waking up to my dad trying to give me cpr. The next would be last year also when i wasn't paying attention and trying to read a map when i was driving and ran into the back of a car stopped at a red light at about 60 miles per hour. luckily nobody was hurt because we were both in big trucks. We were just really bruised up with some whiplash. my truck was totaled, and i took off her back tail gate and a tire.

Answer 4

I can't swim in deep water. Once i was walking around a pool and was knocked into the deep end by three big teens. I did not see them and vise versa. I was helped to get out. On another occasion my house was ram-sacked when I was supposed to be there. Then, on another occasion, the back of my house was set on fire when I WAS in it. Interestingly, I was having a dream that my cousin was directing my attention to the area where the fire's smoke was coming into the room. We got out. We where sleeping in the basement. Thankfully, Before my mother would go to work, she would shut the basement door. But if my mother had decided to stay home from work that night, she would not have shut the door, I would have been sleeping upstairs, and likely, we all would have died.

Answer 5

lost a lot of blood and passed out. Yes, I saw a bright light, a bright light that enveloped everything including me, like a reassuring blanket. I can't remember ever being as calm and happy as when I was in that light. When the nurses brought me back into consciousness, I was so disappointed. I wanted to go back to that light. I it felt like I had finally come home. I know I will someday return there, which is one reason I don't fear death. However, I still dislike the pain and process of dying. I just wish it to be quick when the time comes. :)

Answer 6

The most recent one was the other night. I was driving home from work, and it was raining like crazy outside. I mean, there was like, zero visibility. I tried to veer to the right to pull onto the shoulder until the worst of it passed, and when I tapped my brakes, they made a weird grinding sound, and I could feel myself hydroplaning and fishtailing. I could literally see my life (and the guardrail) flash before my eyes. My brakes caught after 30 seconds of sheer panic, and I was able to pull onto the side of the road. I thank God there were no other cars in my immediate area, or else there would have been a nasty accident.

Answer 7

i've got had some close to loss of life reviews. I just about drowned in a pool whilst i became into like 10 because of the fact my pal and that i've got been difficult one yet another to swim uner the massive pool mattress that took a million/2 the gap of the pool and it took me an prolonged time to locate my way out,

Answer 8

Falling. Heights.

Answer 9

I was in a bad motorcycle accident, broke 11 bones and lost 2 1/2 pints of blood. on a positive note, I can always tell when it is going to rain, my knee will act up!

Answer 10

yes when i was very little i was in china and i would've died because me and dad was riding a limo and back then was like pole in the middle of the seating in the back so if i my dad didn't held me back cause i was sleeping and then all of sudden he bumped into that thing and he has stitches since then
if i was to hit my forehead on it like my dad did i wouldn't be here telling you this
