    Most of us are pretty young so hopefully nothing too bad has happened to any of us yet, but if you have had any near-death experiences, please feel free to share them here.

    I got the idea for this thread after nearly getting in a car accident yesterday. I was turning left at an intersection and someone kept going straight through, considering the timing and the fact that I was already turning or about to turn I'm not sure if it was a dumbass move on my part or theirs. Nearly got T-boned but was able to clear the turn just in time.

    Had I gotten hit I probably wouldn't have actually died, but either of us getting seriously hurt and having to go to the hospital wouldn't have been much better.
    The important thing out of this, imo, is neither of us got hurt. And I got a pretty sweet adrenaline rush out of the whole thing.

    Anyway, that's my story, wbu?

    Once when I was like 5 or 6, me and my sister were playing outside with our dog who was tied up on a tree.
    Unfortunately the dog was hyper at that moment and started running around me, and managed to wrap his leash around my neck.
    Since he kept running in one direction it choked me and I almost fell unconscious. Luckily my sister was there and scared the dog the other way! yay

    In 2016 I was having major issues with my lungs. Due to me being surrounded for years by things i was allergic to (My birds food, mold in my room, dust, etc) I ended up getting "Hypersensitivity pneumonitis". Luckily I got to a hospital before it ended up damaging my lungs.

    I wouldn't call it a near death experiance, but I almost cracked my head open at the Emerald Square Mall in Massachusetts. I was like 8 years old and I walked down the escalator. I stepped down like on stairs and I tripped. Someone who was like a ninja caught me before I cracked my head. He stopped the escalator too.

    When my mom was driving my brother and I home from my grandma's house, I was sleeping and I always leaned on the car door when I slept. Since my grandparents live upstate with wilderness and wild animals, driving at night in the spring can be risky (which what she was doing). While I was sleeping, a deer jumped out and hit my side of the car and was less than an inch away from shattering the window and killing me. The most of the damage was the side mirror got knocked off and the car door got pretty damaged to the point where the window wouldn't roll down.
    My mom said it was a super scary moment because I didn't wake up when I was called because I was asleep and she thought the worst.

    Another one would be at the beach where I went with my dad. I was in the deep part of the ocean and he was looking out for me and guiding me. I thought I knew how to swim (good) and I decided I can swim to the boarder where you cannot swim past, which was a huge mistake. For about a minute I was able to swim independently and then I slipped and went underwater. I was not prepared for it and ended up being underwater for about 30 seconds before my dad saw.

    I was leaving work yesterday in my car. A customer car didn’t stop at a stop sign in my works car park and almost hit me on the side. Luckily their brakes worked.
    Many more near death experiences in that car park as people don’t use their signals or speed around corners.

    It wasn't exactly near death experience, but a few weeks ago I was crossing the street, and someone drove just in front of me (< 2 metres iirc). He was on his phone, so if I was walking a bit faster or whatever I don't think he would've seen me.

    A couple weeks ago, I was walking out of school before anyone else (I go early).
    I was walking until a driver backed up really fast and almost hitting me, he didn't see me smh.

    I was on my way to Scotland for the holidays until we stopped to have lunch, no cars were coming by so my family went on ahead with me along.
    My family let go of my hand and I was on my way to the middle until a car zoomed past really fucking quickly, almost hitting me.

    Once my motorbike cut out at 60mph when I was going down a hill. I was luckily able to brake. If I didn't brake in time I think that would of been it for me, as there was a corner at the bottom of the hill and the only thing that was going to stop me was a brick wall.

    When my parents were driving in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on a super windy road and we heard a rattling beneath the car. They realized the idiots who replaced our car tire the day before had only put one bolt back on the car wheel, instead of six. Our wheel was at risk of falling off and us driving off a cliff which would've made me really sad and quite possibly dead.

    I almost broke my neck while mountainbiking, I braked too hard and my back wheel got into the air but I managed to lean back so luckly nothing happened.

    The worst thing that has happened to me is probably; me running into the sharp corner of a wardrobe and having my head pop open kinda and it started pouring blood according to everyone who saw it, I blacked out for a couple hours until I finally woke up at the hospital with multiple stitches in my head.
    I was around 5-6 years old at the time.

    An actual near death experience for me, was when I got ran over by a motorcycle when I was eight years old. That experience was horrifying.
