I think a fairly moderate percentage of people have had a few moments were they liike "AGGHHHA FUCK, I'M GONNA DIE"... so what was your moment?

The closest I was to dying was a while ago when I went to a swimming pool one day. I used to always stay in the 4 ft section where my chin would be safe above the surface. Whenever I tried to swim, I would always fail and sink. I would always be jealous of the other kids swimming in the deeper water. I asked myselft, "how do they do that"? So I thought, "maybe if got in the deeper water, my body would stay afloat because there would be more water under me. Yeah, that's it. That's why you never see anyone actually swimming in the shallow section"! It made perfect since back then. 

So I decided to swim into the deeper water. But I couldn't swim, so I had to tip-toe my way out of the shallow water. As I was doing so, I realized I was too scared to walk into the deep end. So I figured that I should cannonball into the deep-end and my natural swimming ablities would kick in instantly.... I was so wrong. As soon as I hit the water, I went immediately to the bottom. I kicked myself off the ground, lunged towards the surface, took a deep breathe, and thought to myself, "this is easy". I held that thought for about 1.5 seconds. 

As soon as I took a deep breathe, I started to swim to the edge of the pool so I could test my skills. But I had no skills. My form was just terrible. I recall wailing my arms and legs as if I was doing jumping jacks. Needless to say, I did not stay above the surface. I panicked and began scream out for help. As I was screaming, I inhaled large gulps of water. I thought I was going to die. I remember praying to god asking him to save me and I would repay him by going to church every Sunday and donating all of my money. Luckily for me, the nearby swimmers there were nice enough to save my life.

It wasn't actually that bad. The experience only lasted a few seconds. I laugh about it now.

Sister tried to drown me in a kiddie pool when we were both very young. Luckily my parents intervened. She was too young at the time to realize what she was doing.

I came down with appendicitis about two years ago. My mom (who was a nurse) said it was probably just stomach/indigestion. After 4 days with terrible side pains (mainly during the night when trying to sleep) I knew I probably had appendicitis. Went to the emergency room after talking to my mom telling me to wait one more day.  It was appendicitis and I had surgery later that day (luckily it didn't burst yet).

I'm pretty sure it was when I had to help my sister play through nintendogs. Man that was a close one.

On a more serious note, some of my head injuries as an infant might have been near fatal. I still have no idea why I enjoyed swinging my head around aimlessly and carelessly as an infant...

As for more recent incidents. I was going out for a jog a year ago, when an unleashed dog lunged at me and bit me. I moved away by instinct into oncoming traffic.The car managed to swerve out of the way, but if didn't I am pretty sure it would have caused some serious damage.

Of course dude, it's a car.

When I was about 13 I was running into a lake and tripped over my own feet, I hit the shallow head down, legs up. I broke 3 of the bones in my neck, and was in a brace for 12 weeks. I had compressed my vertebrae and hence, was in some pretty nice amount of pain. It didn't help that the aunt I was with refused to call an ambulance, and instead of doing so, I rode on the back of a golf cart back to their lake home, and then took a van, in the back seat on the highway to a hospital that they "Liked", then I was moved to another hospital in an ambulance from the first hospital because they were the neck specialists...threw up on the guy's shoe in the ambulance and received a bill....fun time it was not, but it was fun to sit and play games for 12 weeks, lol.

I took an over dose, my arms were swelling, and my heart rate increased a lot, also I drank methylated spirits, ( approx 98% alcohol)

Wasn't very traumatic or anything? 

LOL at "unbreakable"

Accidental? On what?

No it was ok really, all my near deaths result in some fit guy at the end (ambulance driver)

I relish my next one!
