    Whenever I see people say "ur" instead of "your."

    No, I was never close to death. Well, I did have to be rescued by lifeguards twice, but I was only under for like 30 seconds..

    I've run out of air in the pool many times. I fell down the stairs and hit the back of my neck, docs said I should've been dead by the way I hit myself. That's about it.

    Luckily, no. I suppose the closest I've ever come to death was when I was stung by a bee, and I'm allergic, although not fatally so. Awful experience, though. D:

    WELL!

    I almost drowned once. I was a little prick and too proud to ask for help. I wandered into the deep end of the pool, where the water was twice my height in depth at the time. Eh, I couldn't hear anything; just afterward, my uncle was thanking someone outside of the pool while I caught my breath in the shallows.

    Then, there was that time I set my hand on fire at a funeral. It wasn't a lot, and I have no burn marks, but it could have ended... Worse.

    And then that time I got an infection in my arm that quickly spread across my body; but I went to the hospital and they stuck me with a tube and I was all better :3

    Oh, and in 7th grade I almost died of a fever >_>

    Same here. I was luckily saved by the one I was with at that time. Hooray for that person! \o/

    Also, I almost drowned once, and another, I collapsed one morning for an odd (but not serious) reason.
    And the reason is, I was too hungry and lacked much sleep. XD

    I've received my fair share of pain, I don't think I've ever been in a fatal situation though.

    Yep, I have nearly died before :/

    I was camping when I was about 13 I think. I had bad hay fever and asthma, well I did then, it isn't that bad now.
    Anyway, people were throwing grass around and I was joining in because I didn't think much off it.
    Got cuts on my hands from thorns and the likes in the grass and my hay fever started to get really bad. Since I had been running around as well, I started to lose my breath and I couldn't breath that well.

    I had to sit down and "Take a time out" XD
    It got worse and worse and I got really light headed. Went to the hospital and had to stay there for just over a week.
    The hay fever had set off my asthma and tightened my lungs so much that my body wasn't getting enough oxygen to keep myself aware.

    I was told that I only had about 5 minutes of oxygen left in my body before I would have passed out and stopped breathing O_O

    About seven years ago I nearly got knocked down by a car, but obviously I managed to pull off a super cool James Bond sorta stunt in which I ended up jumping onto the car, breaking the windscreen and beating up the driver for information.

    When I was about two I tried to touch a duck that was about 15 feet away from me, over-balanced, and fell into a resovoir, hitting my head a few times in the process, then going under.

    And a few weeks ago, one of the ends of my barbell got caught in clothes hamper and nearly fell on my throat.
