Near Death Experiences

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.

My car was sliding on a side of a mountain in slick weather.  Once it stopped I was on three wheels right on the edge.  That was not ideal

i get severe anxiety about driving in the mountains, which sucks.  would prefer to be airlifted in/out i think...

car accident. head slammed into windshield and almost broke my neck. Only my Michigan Wolverines hat saved me from being disfigured and picking glass out of my face for the rest of my life. was out for 30 minutes. woke up in the ambo and was all

I almost die like once a year. When I was 9 tho, I slid down a mountain after dunking a rock over a fence like MJ. I slid under the fence and grabbed onto it as I hung there dangling a 100 ft above a roaring river. My grandpa and brother grabbed me and drug me back onto land.

drove on the wrong side of bluemont around 9th or 10th street for about 10 seconds trying to get my skidding car under control after a soccer mom rammed into me from behind ().

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

When I was five I tripped over a rattlesnake out at our campground but my grandpa chased him away with a rock 

When I was three I cut the cord to an electrical fan that was plugged in with some scissors but luckily the scissors had rubber handles 

[Dugout DickStone]

My bro Kiefer and I kill each other and bring each other back to life all of the time.  it is trippy

[hemmy]

Not really. I feel like 35 feet out of a tree in 8th grade, but that's all I got.

Some kid did this in my 2nd grade classroom, crazy sparks everywhere!

Luckily for you and him most scissors have plastic handles!

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.

Did one of your friends throw you the giant purple rabbit, or was it imagined as well?

I'm glad they saved you wacky! Also I'm sure you looked amazing throwing down the MJ'esque dunk!

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

Good ghost story and a gun story.
