near, near death experiences

[elisera]

Sounds a bit like the pessimist/optimist thing to me... Are those people near death or near life?

 

[old.Tohtori]

But the point of this thread is NEAR death.

Agree that you're only dead or alive. Unless ofc undead counts...

Do you get many undead in Finland ?

Yeah that was the point i was trying to make, that there's only dead and alive. Anyhoop, moo point to "argue" really.

Undead? I'm not too comfortable talking about ze undead 'cause they just developed this interdead system and they might be looking.

I once broke my little finger playing basketball, 2 weeks later i had an operation on it.

Pretty life threatening if you ask me!

Ah, but remember that in a right-angled triangle the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Did they sprinkle you in hundreds-and-thousands when the ambulance picked you up ?

 

[Everz]

Meh..

Choked on a smarties lid when i was little and had my hat lodge into my head.. fun fun

 

[Lamp]

I once had a dream about me eating a giant Yorkshire pudding.

When I woke up my pillow was missing...

 

[Laddey]

I got a free tub of ice cream

Why do they get cheaper car insurance though? They say women drivers are 'better' drivers, or is it safer drivers?

 

[tris-]

women are fucking shit drivers in my experience.

today one stupid cow managed to drive past and clip her wing mirror off mine. how the fuck do you manage that when you have a whole lane for your self to drive in?!

 

[Dorimor1]

Never had one.

Either I am lucky or just sensible.

Hey, sombody's gotta be the wolf among the sheep

Don't take it so seriously.

Once helping take down a stage set, a section of iron scaffold pole swung down above me, and started dropping. I jumped backwards and it went straight through the stage in front of me, punching a neat 2" circle through 1" thick wood. Glad I jumped backwards.

Once undertook a stationary lorry driver in a traffic jam. He was obviously a bit pissed off, a few minutes later I heard him sound his horn loudly, and saw him coming toward me. Managed to pull off the road between two parked cars, without space between them and him for him to have avoided crushing me. I hardly believed it had happened, had it not been for the horrified expressions of the passers by. (Didn't get his licence plate, strangely I was concentrating on living, not lawsuits)

Had a few near misses in car driving, but thus far whilst some have been mad (landrover and caravan overtaking on a blind corner coming the other day type mad), they've been a speeds that would be mostly survivable had they hit.

So I was drinking a litre of hydrofluoric acid when I accidentally fell into an industrial tree shreader. Still. Could have been worse.

 

[Mey]

I had an epileptic fit outside school, that was a bit scary..

Could of happened in the bath I had in the morning, and I might of drowned

Too this day, i've not had a bath since!

 

[Neffneff]

Why do they get cheaper car insurance though? They say women drivers are 'better' drivers, or is it safer drivers?

woman's insurance claims tend to cost less, i.e. they knock a wing mirror off, scratch the paint-work, dent the bumper, while men tend to have less LITTLE accidents, but when they crash they do it properly, i.e. @ 100mph into another EXPENSIVE car (well, cant have them 50 000 quid sportsters on the road without trying to overtake them, can we?)

 

[Serbitar]

i was told that on a whole women have more accidents than men but they are of less severity.

i.e. woman takes out 3 wing mirrors, a cyclist and an old granny on a zimmerframe (5 crashes, relatively low damage cost)

man crashes into oil tanker blowing it up destroying entire street (1 crash, insane damage cost)

 

[pikeh]

erm my mate got his shoelace caught in an escalator once..

seriously though, been quite lucky myself, only had a couple of accidents but nothing serious at all.

 

[Ame]

seriously though, i once had a near death experience i was only really young at the time and was swimming, got caught in this ferocious current and washed along for ages

meh similar experiance when I was younger. got caught by the tide while swimming with my brother on one of hollands beaches.. got swept onto some rocks. a sexy lifeguard saved us though, that my dad tried to flirt with (and failed).


only went swimming once since then (and in a swimming pool )

 

[Wonk]

one of my mates was seconds from drowning in a swimming pool, when his brother saved him (his brother doesn't have any legs and is missing a few fingers.). It was on the front page of a few news papers the following day.

pure skill mo

my nde is almost drowning when we where out picking berrys (hjortron dunno word in eng) and the grow in a swamplike area, to get there u had to jump alot (very little solid ground as u can imagine) and i missed it.. barely managed to grab a piece of grass and hold on...
(imagine urself with mud up to ur nose and only ur hands sticking up, and its dragging u down) 20 mins later my family found me i was still in shock holding that piece of grass like mad, even in the car 1h later i sat there with my arms in same position shakeing

now 16y late ri cant eat those berries and im freaking out in water mostly when i cant touch the bottom....

Intresting thread

I've never really been close to death, though I remember when I was about 10, me and a friend were messing around at a dumpsite, and I fell off a wall landing on my back, about 2cm away from a huge piece of sharp metal sticking out of the ground, was lucky.

Yeah, those lifeguards... *shivers* No wonder you're afraid of swimming.
