If you have had a near death experience then tell it there.

My near death experience was when i almost fell out of a Ferries Wheel i wasn't thinking but luckly my dad caught me before i fell.

I was in a pool once. My cousin jumped on me and I couldn't breathe, move, just flail. I was in a mad frenzy to get some air but couldn't. I thought I was done for. But my grandma noticed and pushed him off me. Then I jumped out and made it out the gate before getting sick. I avoided the pool for a while after that <:(

Well, I was maybe about 6 at the time, and my bike chain was broken and I was taking it to get fixed with my sister. I pretty much rode it all the way to the bike shop until I got to the parking lot. Once I got there, I hopoed off my bike and pushed it through some parked cars and I was so ready to get it fixed, I forgot one common thing... "Look both ways before crossing the street." I couldnt see anyway because of the cars. So I walked out, completely oblivious to the car speeding down the road, and almost got hit. I was scared out of my mind and I swear if the driver didnt stop RIGHT next to my bike, I would of been done for. I was so scared, I had my sister push my bike home and I held her hand the whole walk home.

My school bus swerved to avoid a fallen tree in the road and we hit an enbankment. We flipped over to our side once. One more roll and we would have hit the trees and probably some of us would've been killed.
It was very scary, I'm just thankful everyone came out okay.

one time at soccer camp i got hit in the head with a soccer ball and blacked out for three days

In all seriousness, my dad cut the cord to his circular saw and I reached for the bzz-bzz end.

I'm an absolute moron.

I was waiting at a bus terminal. My bus had just arrived and I was walking down to meet it. There are two lanes for outgoing and ingoing buses, and my bus had pulled into the far lane. I was just about to step off the curb, and I looked back to see if another bus was coming. I don't know why, but I'm glad I did because there was another bus practically right behind me. It was so close, I could've touched it by stretching out my hand. If I had stepped off the sidewalk without looking, I would've been squished under that bus. It gives me chills every time I think about it.

Oh another of mine. I was at hams watching a red sox game (win). I was eating mozzerella sticks and Trot nixon (i think) hit a homerun. I was excited then I started choking. I ran backwards trying to cough and the like, and had to reach waaay down my throat to get it out :/ I stopped eating for like a week afraid it would happen again.

Well I almost died after being shot by some bullies at school, having stood up for the girls they were harassing.

ACTUALLY...

I was once inner tubing down a river with my family when suddenly a short three, four-foot water fall came up, so we all went overboard along with another nearby family and their DOG, who all happened to fall atop my brother and I. My parents made it to the shoreline as they drifted off and could not do anything to help us, but my brother and I were submerged for a long period of time, struggling to fight our way up as that stupid dog kept clawing and tearing at our skin, along with the other straggling kids. I think I remember punching the dog as hard as I could underwater, which allowed me room to surface. Even scarier though, after reaching air, my younger brother had not, and the others were shouting and crying, "where's that little boy!" I felt like I had lost him, so instinctly, I reached far under, happened to feel him, and brought him to the surface. We all turned out fine, but ****, for a 6th grader and a Kindergartener, that was some intense ****.

When I was 3, I fell in my aunt's pool. I knew how to swim, but I need a tube or whatever to help me swim. So anyway I fall in, my older cousin was in there so he pulled me up from the bottom of the pool and all was better.

I'm pretty sure how it happened but it was 12 years ago.

While I was at my baseball game, I had a mini-heartattack due to major heatstroke. I had to get rushed to the ER and my heartrate was almost 2-3 times faster than it should have been for someone who had been running aorund =(.

I've had some near death moments but I can't remember any of them other than the occasional choking incident, I guess that what people mean when they talk about repressed memories. The only thing that makes me sure I came near to death is the extreme rush of adrenaline you just can't forget.

I was standing on the edge of a cliff.

A huge gust of wind started to blow me to my jagged,rocky fate.

Luckily my dad was standing right behind me and grabbed my jumper and pulled me back.

When I was 5 me, my step-brother, and my Dad went to Wisconsin Dells and I went on a waterslide. The only problem: I was bad at swimming. So I ended up stuck at the bottom of the pool until my Step-bro saved me. I'm still angry at my father for reading a book instead of coming to my aid.

A couple weeks ago I was listening to my i pod while waiting for the train. I stuck my head out to see if it was coming but i was looking the wrong way and over the noise of my music, I didn't hear the train coming. After i pulled my head back, the train passed by like a split second later and it scared the **** outta me.

And when I was like 6, i was walking home with my mom, sister and mom's friend. We were about to pass the car wash when the car was screwed up and a car came flying out of it. We were like 2 feet away from being hit. We would have definitely died. The car smashed into another car across the street and totally messed it up. Every time i pass the car wash I think about how close it came.

Halloween a few years back i was with my friends going out this long driveway. So i started running toward the road when everybody was yelling "STOP!" Somehow i didn't notice the car coming... i was about a foot from getting hit. Needless to say it was pretty freakin' scary XD

I was rock climbing w/ my budies, we're always competing at stuff so we were being pretty reckless while racing to the top
I think all of us had our nerve up, but pretty sure everyone heart was racing

it's probably me and my friend scott who are the most competitive (with each other at least) having known each other for so long, but neither one of us made it to the top first, dale got up there before us, it was his idea to do this so I'm sure he had some prior experience

we could ignore that and fight for first of the inexperienced climbers, so any way, me and scott are racing up, philip was a pretty far ways below us, scott got ****in lucky w/ whatever path he chose cause I swear i had **** near no hand holds

any way, he makes it to the top n starts braggin his *** off, I'm a lil piss cause of all the adrenaline, so i start talkin **** back, tell him to shut the **** up & that he needs to ****in grow up some times (the stuff he was doing was pretty childish), n of course his adrenaline is still pumpin to so he gets pissed off

'what the **** did you say' he says
'you heard me you ****, shut the **** up with your immature bull ****' i said that as i was about to reach the edge of the cliff we were on

he ****in loses it
'**** YOU MAN, ALWAYS TALKIN ****' then outta ****in no where this ***** FALCON KICK's me as I'm trying to ****in recover

thinking quick, I tech jumped that **** and air dodged over the edge, saving my life

talk about near death, I was on my last stock too
****in hell


lol, it's all fictional, even my friends

Okay, so I went to Washington DC a few months back. As I got on to the subway in my motorized scooter (I'm disabled) the back wheels got stuck in the crack in between the platform and the subway itself. I took 3 people to lift my scooter on to the subway just befor e the doors closed.

I couldn't swim when I was young so I'd play in the shallow end. This one time I went to close to the deep end and started to drown. I looked up and saw my friend swimming by on a board and tried to grab hold. I think he knew I couldn't swim but regardless his immediate reaction was to shove me off. Then his mom realized I was drowning and saved me. Since then I learned to love the water very very much.

i almost choked on ice once when i was cheering for something on tv. couldnt eat ice after that. and i was riding my bike with my dad. when i started going fast to catch up. i fell off the bike and thank god for the helmet i didnt bang my head on the floor and died. on the down side my face was all scraped up and i had to go to school like that for like 2 weeks before it heeled. trust me its not nice scraping on a rocky floor (it was at the park). oh and one more i was having a milk dud when i swallowed pre maturly and it got stuck on my throat. my parents had to bang my back to get it out

edit.: some people are right these do sound final destination-ish

Back when I was like 12 years old I had a massive fight with a friend while I was over his house. After the argument, I stormed off into his kitchen and he remained in his room. I wanted to right the wrong, so a few hours later I decided to fix him up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Little did I know I was highly allergic to peanut butter. As soon as I opened the jar I started to feel weird, but I ignored it. As I began to smear the peanut butter on the bread I began to sweat and my eyes were becoming watery. My face started to feel numb, and my breathing became abnormal. I threw everything down and ran to look in the mirror...I had literally transformed. I ran home (we were neighbors) and my dad drove to to the hospital. Without treatment, I would be dead right now.

Cleveland, Ohio! my homeplace but for now living i
I was with my camp out at a place called Hale farm. It started to rain heavy... Everyone was rushing to the picnic areas which had a roof over them. I thought the rain was fun so I wanted to run around in it for a second. I ran around one of the farmhouses and stopped to tie my shoes. I heard my camp councilor yelling for me around the corner. As I was running back a huge lightning bolt struck the ground right in front of me. I dont know if it was a sign from God or not but if that bolt had hit me... you get the idea.

-I went into the deep end of a pool before i could swim
ironically im on the swim team now

-I almost fell off the 3rd floor of a building while running towards the edge, luckily I feel a little short of the edge and fell down the stair instead. Not really lucky but i didn't die or anything

...ummm
the 1st post reminded me of this one,
when I was like 8 I was on a fairest wheel with my friends and one of my friends began to rock the -cart,- or what ever u call it, back and fourth. I thought it was going to snap off or something.

I was jump starting a car and there were a lot of sparks flying. Luckily I L-canceled the final clip (eliminating all lag) and I managed to dodge the sparks.

I haven't really been near death (unless almost walking in front of a moving truck counts), but I've been near losing my left eye.. (Got a permanent scar and a semi-lazy eye thanks to the accident.)

Well, I guess if I had lost my eye, it would've possibly caused death due to loss of blood or something.

It's the TV on the fridge, isn't it?

When I was a little younger and a little dumber, my friend Richard locked me outside on the balcony and told me to stay there the whole night (He was real pissed off, I told him he was in love with a girl, and it ticked him off somehow). I didn't want to do that, so I had to climb along the facade to the room next to me. It turned out well and I only had to climb one meter, but if I had fallen, I would have been very dead.

I've had two seizures when I was a toddler, and got into a fatal car accident a few months ago. Thank God for automatic Phoenix Downs.
