this thread is giving me sweaty palms.

when i was about 7 my family was at arches national park and i climbed up one of the arches, and then realized i was sort of stuck, and just fell down the side of the arch, about 50 feet. some guy with a mustache noticed that i was stuck and caught me. my dad was about 20 yards away filming the whole thing 

Post the video.

I had a bad acid trip my freshman year of college where I thought I was being sucked into another dimension.  It was a close call until a giant purple rabbit saved me. 

I stopped doing acid after that.

Sounds like a journey through the C(lams)ERN super collider.  Are you left handed now?

I have always been left handed.  I did stutter for a couple days after though and failed a multiple choice Geography test because the A,B,C and D's kept moving around.  I told the professor I had a panic attack because it was my first college exam (it was) and he let me retake it.  I ended up with an A.

Anyone almost die?

All this talk about Doctors and how they introduce themselves reminded me that I nearly impaled myself on a knee high fence when I was up in Chicago a couple of weeks ago.

Around 11am we were walking from wrigleyville to the beach and playing catch with a football on the side streets. I'm jogging about 50% of full speed and give the "I'm open!" wave with my hand.

Buddy see's me but makes a terrible throw, I jump to catch it but don't notice I'm right next to a knee high fence...The fence trips me up and I land chest first on the stupid decorative spikes(lucklily they had rounded tops to prevent idiots from impaling themselves). 1 spike hit my chest about .5 inches from my neck and the others hit my pec and stomach. I also cut my leg pretty bad when it slammed against the fence, was squirting out blood  .

We had a ksu vet grad and a DR(physical therapy) with us so they were able to patch me up good enough to continue binging. 

You can see the stupid fence in street view

[The Big Train]

Freshman year of college was partying at one of my teammates house and he was really drunk and pulled out a gun and pointed it at my face.  I ran out of the house but eventually another teammate got me to come back because he said the one that pulled the gun on me "was only messing around".   

Also just to show me he was just joking he pulled out the gun then proceeded to empty all 6 bullets on the table.

i overslept once and missed the final completely.  was out the night before PAK'n.  went to prof's office later on that day and asked if i could take a make up.  he said no and started to yell at me.  i stood up and told him i didn't come to his office to be ridiculed, then turned and walked out of his office.  his grad asst came down the hallway 30 seconds or so later with an exam in hand, led me into a side room and let me take it.  i failed the living crap out of that test but at least i took it.  i showed him how i was going to fail that rough ridin' class.

my first semester my roommate had a 7am (or 730, whatever it is) final.  comes back to the dorm room at 7:15, looks at syllabus on his desk and says "oh, that final was yesterday".

blam, failed out of school.

Empty the gun like open and dump out the bullets or empty it like pump that rough riding table full of lead?

Superchefhero origin story.

[Kat Kid]

last day of work at ksu beef research I was walking along the edges of bunks ahead of the trailer about 10 feet but right at the edge of the peripheral vision of the tractor driver (female).  I fell in between two bunks and my work boot and leg were kind of caught with my head hanging out of the ede of the bunk facing back at the edge of the flatbed.  Things went slo-mo and I watched the trailer approach before it stopped a few feet from my head.  If one of the crap head guys would've been driving I'd probably be dead.
