I've had a bunch of really close calls.

Almost choked to death twice when I was really young. Not a lot of story here, but choking is not fun and is incredibly scary...

A group of guys (including myself) were trying to throw my friend into the lake. He was a former #1 wrestler, and after a while he picked me up and slammed me to the ground. My head was about 2 inches away from a rather large rock that would have shattered my skull. We stopped immediately after that

I've been in 2 motorcycle accidents (I've posted both on the forums before). The second was a lot more spectacular of a crash, but the 1st had the same potential to be deadly. Also, for my second accident, the ambulance personal actually told me they expected to be scraping body parts off the road and they were shocked that I only had a road rash knee. I've also had many close encounters by idiots who decide they want to drive where I'm currently at.

I once hit a jump on my ski's and went about 30ft straight up in the air (went off and over a quarter pipe at the bottom of the hill with way too much speed and overshot the back of it). falling from 30ft onto basically flat ground has the potential to end really ugly. I didn't get seriously hurt, but I didn't exactly land on my skis either . I did leave about a 6 inch dent in the snow where I first impacted. I basically crumpled to the ground and then slid down the hill for 50-60 ft through mud, snow, and more mud. I also once fell off a grind rail (on my skis) and slammed my head into the ice and went unconscious. Luckily I just ended up with a concussion. I also went off a smaller jump and my left ski fell off mid jump. Landed on my back and got knocked unconscious. While all of them turned out ok, all of them were pretty dang scary and I know other skiers who died from similar accidents.

Out of all the crazy and stupid stuff I've done through the years, I've never broken a bone, and the only time I got stitches was when I stabbed myself (yea... let's not go there...). So while I haven't been rushed to the hospital just in time to save my life, I think I've had more than my fair share of close calls.
