When I was maybe about 3, I walked right out into the street in front of my Grandparent's house, there was a truck coming. If my Mom hadn't stepped out and waved down the truck, I probably would have been hit and or crushed.
There was nothing else until I was about 16-17, after having a couple of teeth pulled, the bleeding would not stop. The first night, I thought it had stopped finally, so I laid down and went to sleep. In the middle of the night, I woke up from feeling wet on my face. After turning on the light, I saw that about half of the pillow was covered in blood. I ended up bleeding a lot for the next few days, until I went in again and this time they stitched it. I can't say for certain if this was close to death, but it seems like I bled a hell of a lot during those few days. :/
Then a few other times, not sure if the car was going fast enough to be fatal, but I almost got hit crossing a valid crosswalk. The problem with these 2 crosswalks that I've gone on many times is that for some reason they're set up so the walk sign goes at the same time as the light for turning. The drivers are suppose to pay attention to any crossers, but many don't seem to notice and just drive right through. :/
Oh, I remembered another one from when I was 17. My friend used to sell bud, one day he stupidly sold to some 12 year old kid. It turned out that kid was related to some local gang members. One day, I was in his car, and we pulled up somewhere, at the same time some other car pulled up next to us. A guy got out and walked around to the other side of the car. I looked in the back seat of the other car, and saw a guy all tatted up over his face. I thought "Oh great, this looks bad". After having a talk with my friend, the guy said he was going to waste both of us, but he decided not to, so he sent the other car away.
Another time with that same friend (lol), he showed me this street that was suppose to be empty, so he kind of sped really fast and tried to drift around the corner. As we came around the corner, it was full of cars coming the other way. He turned quick, and we ended up doing a harsh 180 to the side of the street. I think if his car wasn't so bottom-heavy, we would have flipped over easily. :/
Fun times. :D
