My first accident. When I was 15 I rode my dad 's motorcycle illegally without a license ( 16 for minimum requirement of getting a motorcycle license ) and without a helmet too.

I went out of the town and met with my friends. We rode together for about two hours and got back before the sun set.

Just when I reached a T-junction, I saw a car came towards me and I pressed the handbrake hardly. The tyre locked up and the motorcycle became out of control. I had no choice but jumped out of the motorcycle and dropped to the road. The motorcycle crashed into the drain and I was badly injured.

Fortunately I was saved by the grass to prevent head injury. I was still conscious and the car driver sent me to the hospital. When i got into hospital, I became unconscious.

I got up and saw my dad and my mom beside me. My dad came and slapped me very hard but after that he hug ged me. " You stupid boy...... " he said and cried silently.

After the incident I learned to behave nicely and yess got a license after a year.

I am sorry dad and mom.

When I was chased out into traffic by bullies. Thankfully I didn't get hit but it was frightening and loads of people yelled at me.

All of my most life-threatening experiences have happened this year... it's not been a great year.

Over a period of two months I was electrocuted not once but three times. Then just a few weeks ago I had a reaction to medication I was on that resulted in my mouth and tongue spamming and locking up so my airway was partially blocked (my nose was congested at the time too) so I was struggling to breath.

Haven't really encountered a life-threatening situation yet (knock on wood), and the only thing I can think of right now is basically panicking in a pool when I was a kid and unable to swim. I was pushed in by my younger brother, who was like three years old at the time and I guess thought it would be funny to push me into the deep end as I crouched at the edge, so yeah.

I've almost been in a few car accidents when other people were driving. The closest I've actually came to an accident was when I was riding in the back seat with my cousins and my twin was driving. We were zipping down the on-ramp for the interstate, and two of the tires lifted off the ground. We immediately slowed down, and we all were a little freaked out.

Must've been windy as all hell or someone was going "a little bit" over the speed limit there.


As for me, I've probably almost been in a few dangerous car accidents before, whether I was driving or if someone else was. Aside from catching the flu one flu season because it wasn't the strain in that season's vaccine, those are the closest I've come that I can recall, and I can't really recall any specific incident other than one where I suddenly felt very sleepy while driving and nearly drifted into someone in the other lane, which upon realizing it and combined with their horn, scared me the hell awake with adrenaline.

I had my apartment complex hit by smoke once due to a burning pizza scooter. Nobody was hurt, but I did fear for my valuables at the time.

And then the other scary experience was when I sliced my forehead on a door. Had it not been for emergency stitches I certainly would have died.

I had a few life threatening situations. One I remember happening over a decade ago, and I don't know if it is exactly life threatening, was that I was near a pond that is near my house and a snake jumped out, I don't know if it was poisonous or not, and it also bite me and my started shooting at it when he saw it to scare it away and those shots were real close to and almost hit me. I mentioned a few times on here before that I had a car accident last year, I was driving down a road while it was raining and I hydroplaned across a puddle of water, combined with a small bump from a bridge it caused me to lose control of my car and I slide into a ditch and a hit a tree which ended up crushing the entire passenger side of my car at that time, if it was the front of my car that went into the ditch first or if the driver side was the one that got crushed, I would surely have died. Months prior to that, I almost got hit on my side of that same car by someone who wasn't paying attention when I was pulling up to a lane. Earlier this year, something similar happened in a nearby city, I was at a traffic circle and someone blocked my view of the other cars and when I thought it was safe, I almost got hit on my side. And yet another incident from this year, I almost got hit head on by some idiot was trying to pass someone while going over a hill and I just so happened to be driving up that hill at that time. If I didn't slow down and move my car slightly to the other side, I would've been hit.

When I was about nine, I was riding my bike. The gravel was lose and torn up at the side, and I ran into this rock piece. I flipped over my bike. I sustained a lot of small injuries and a mild concussion. They said if I hadn't been wearing my helmet, I would have cracked my head open... so my helmet actually saved my life.

Other than that, no. I guess that's a good thing?

Car accident. A big one. I don't remember much I think I was 11. To this day I don't really know what exactly happened, I guess my mom lost control of the car but yeah. I remember saying to myself "Yeah you're dead". Surprised I wasn't. Thank god.

Honestly I think I've been in a lot but they aren't memories I've chosen to keep alive in my mind. There's only a few I can remember, and in one of them I was riding my bike down the street and was about to go around a corner, but my instincts were screaming "DANGER" and so I hit my brakes hard and noticed that a car was just about to cross the intersection. If I hadn't stopped in time I'm fairly certain I could have gotten fatal injuries.

When I was in the hospital for 5 months because I was born premature, I basically like died twice and had to be brought back to life. Also when I was a little older, I almost died in a housefire in my Nana's old house. Other than that, I can't think of much.

dude I could have easily have died a few months ago. I'm currently attending flight school, and last october my instructor and I were practicing some high altitude maneuvers (prolly around 14,000 feet) for my commercial rating requirements. my flight school is pretty unique since Northrop Grumman shares a contract with us for joint use of the airport. they fly military unmanned aerial vehicles out of the airfield, and let me tell you those bastards are hard to spot in the air. they have camouflage paint jobs and absolutely no identification lights, and since they're unmanned they inherently can't really see and avoid other traffic themselves. okay well anyway, we were getting ready to land at this point. I was running some pre landing checklists and my instructor was fidgeting with the gps, so neither of us were really looking around at all. baaad move, cause I glance up and see one of these uavs on a 400ish foot collision course with our aircraft. I really can't explain how damn sketchy that is. but I remember just turning sharply to the left and missing this thing by about 50 feet. it was super uncool

I've not really had any life threatening experiences... I think the closest was probably when I was about 11 or 12 years old. I was riding my bike and hit a rock in the street. I ended up flipping over the front of the handle bars and landed right on my head. I hit so hard I ended up completely breaking my helmet, like the whole back of it broke off. If I hadn't been wearing a helmet... I have no idea how badly I could have been hurt.

I was living in Israel in 2012 when Gaza militants starting shooting rockets into the country, which incited Operation Pillar of Defense. I was in Tel Aviv on an internship program, and during our orientation we had been instructed on what to do in case of an attack, but it had been peaceful at the time and none of us ever thought anything would happen.

But one night the sirens went off, and we all had to evacuate the apartment building and head to the underground bomb shelter in the school next door, hearing the explosion in the brief time we were outside. We were relocated to Jerusalem that night, where it was supposed to be safer. The next day I was with friends in Jerusalem when the sirens rang again, though luckily their apartment building had its own bomb shelter. I hadn't been too nervous the first time in Tel Aviv, but that time I was shaking.

We returned to Tel Aviv a few days later, and there was another siren, and a bus quite a few people on my program took frequently was blown up. Things slowly started to simmer down, and life returned to normal. We were all fine physically (a few of us, myself included, had some mild PTSD), and though we likely weren't in too much danger thanks to Israel's excellent defenses, it was a scary time.

I've been in two, and one happened at birth, so I don't recall it really. The one I do remember is me falling back into a lake after I tried to climb out, inhaling a lot of water, and sinking. Some friends pulled me out, but I'm sure I would've drowned if that happened with nobody around.

I was born with a atrial septal defect, which is a literal hole in the heart. It was repaired when I was five years old but I still have wires holding my breastplate together and a scar on my chest that's faded over the years. I'd love to get into martial arts but a big enough blow to my chest is enough to knock me to the floor.
