  1. if you have any.. feel free to share!
     
  2. I have a few but I was always intoxicated out of my mind so I don't remember. Now i realize I need to stop doing stupid things when intoxicated.
     
  3. Flipped a kayak and couldn't get out about ten years ago down the Murray River in Australia. Lucky a friend saw and ran through the river to flip me back over. It was scary but I have to admit, I went PAST the panic stage and in to euphoria stage. I think he got me just in time. I am not quite as afraid of drowning now that I've been through that near death experience.
     
  4. deep, glad a fellow got you to the shallow.

    Me and two buddies sank a boat last year while duck hunting. 16ft + deep water, full hunting attire (waders, heavy ass jackets). Over a half mile from shore. Lost almost everything including our lives. Lost my dads shotgun, and pretty much everything that wasn't attached to the boat.

    Somehow as we were going down, my one friend pulled out his phone and kept it above the water. He got a call off to the sheriffs department before the phone eventually got wet. We were all huddled around the tip of the boat that was just above water for over a half hour. 40 degrees, pitch black in the morning. Ever been in a wave pool? Two foot rolling waves kept crashing over my head.

    I've had another near death experience (a slab of granite fell on me), but this was by far the most terrifying moment of my life.

    Oh yea, almost forgot to mention. My one buddies hunting bag ended up floating instead of sinking. The DNR boat found it after we were rescued. They also found the little jar with about an eighth in it with my friends wallet... He got busted, just finished probation.

    On top of all that shit, within an hour of us being rescued, the DNR officers told us we'd be fined if we didn't get our boat out of the water... We had to rent a pontoon boat and drag that bitch into a marina. Longest day of my life
     
  6. When I was a teenager I was bow fishing along a river when I drew on a school of squawfish just past a rock outcropping. The heavy fiberglass arrow shot just below the fish and hit the rock and bounced straight back at me. I remember seeing the arrow flying toward me in slow motion. The nock of the arrow hit my front tooth, cracking it and jarring my head in a crazy way. Just a smidgen lower and it would have gone through my head through my mouth, nose, or eye, I have no doubt. It still gives me the willies.
     
  7. Damn, I've been bowfishing in a tournament for over 10 years and I've never heard of a story like that. I could definitely see that happening. Hit quite a few rocks myself, and also a few snapping turtles.
     
  8. Jumped into a public pool at camp and went underwater I think to touch the bottom came back up already with no air left inside me to hit a ceiling (which eventually found out to be some dumb gay ass floating thing to stand or sit on) blacked out for a second due to fear of me actually drowning and I woke back up sinking and got this feeling of immortality no pain no fear not even needing breath as I saw a tunnel of yellowish white light to where I needed to go to stay alive and without even thinking i swam to the side of the floating dumb shit some fags were being gay on and got to the surface where after I could barley even swim almost sunk again and got out the water yelling at the kids when they were clueless to the fact they were on top of all the water. Worst part about it I would of died at camp without anyone able to save me like my mom or dad truly was one of the lonlyest feelings at that time I think I've ever had made me realize how dumb and retarded some people actually are
     
  9. Great thread

    I got a couple (plus random events that could have gotten me killed.

    Once I was climbing the roof of my high school and got stoned at the top. I got really high and forgot about the climb down lol. Well to get to the top you have to shimmy up a steel frame for about 20 feet however the frame is on the 2nd floor so from the top it's about a 40 foot drop. And it's narrow so if you fell you'd hit your head and then land on a fence which was directly below all this.

    But on the way down right at the start from the top my foot gave out and I so did my body weight, luckily though as I fell I caught back on with one arm. Adrenalin kicked in and I superman gripped and pulled myself up back on to the frame. If I hadn't have caught myself I definitely would have died.


    Another one was when I was younger. My family was in a very gang related town at a anniversary/ revow party. Outside these drunk guys started to argue so naturally me and my cousins go to watch. Well as one group left in a car they got blocked. They then proceeded to not give a fuck and run a guy over. As he fell from the impact of the front of the car the back tire ran over his leg. One of that guys friends pulled a gun and shot at the car. My cousins and I were on the other side of the parking lot, the car was in the middle and group was on the other side. It was a crossfire (if we had guns). As they shot a couple bullets flew right beside us. At Least one hit the car window shattering it but a couple hit the wall right behind us. This all happened very quickly (from car being blocked to shots was about 15 seconds). we didn't realize the seriousness of the situation until the shots started. We fucking booked it. We came back to see how close they were to where we were standing and they missed us by a couple of feet.

    Cops came fast and arrested the shooters, idk what happened to the car.
     
  10. I've had 3 within a 7 year period
    1. I was jumping off swings with my bestfriend (not the best idea) and I fell off landed on my neck and blacked out ,got carried out on a stretcher.
    2. Then I got robbed in a bad drug deal
    3.Then I got hit by a car on my bike xD
     
  11. Well in my 21 years on Gods green earth, I've had 3 major brain tumors and 7 major brain surgeries so yeah I've had plenty of near death expirerencs...
     
  12. Arm went through a double pane window cutting out a baseball sized hole in my arm severed my right radial artery and watched the blood literally shoot out of the hole. I was life flighted to a hospital in Portland my arm don't work anymore
     
  13. I was in the hospital after coming out of a two month coma and recovering from major organ failure and open heart surgery/pacemaker installation. I was down to under 85lbs and am over 6'4 to give you an idea of the shape I was in even though I was supposedly on the road to recovery. I had just learned to walk again after a few weeks of being awake and was going to the bathroom on my own(which I wasn't supposed to due to being a fall risk patient) when all of the sudden I has a seizure. I had never had one before that I know about so didn't quite know what was happening. I just felt funny then all of the sudden collapsed. I fell straight down and my head hit the floor. It was so loud that the nurse heard it and ran in to check out what the noise was. I came to and was laying there with her next to me asking what happened. I told her nothing, I just fell but am ok, but next thing I knew I wasn't able to breath. My whole body felt like it was disconnected. I could feel sensations of not breathing and the cold ground under my naked rear when she laid me on my back and yelled "Code Blue, Code Blue". Next thing I knew the alarms in the whole hospital started going off "CODE BLUE ICU, CODE BLUE ICU", and then a whole team of nurses, and Dr's ran in with their crash cart(cart with revival drugs and emergency intubation kits, etc.). A male Dr/Nurse, not sure which cause things were starting to get dark, started telling me "Don't die on me, stay with me", but I couldn't respond to say I couldnt breathe. Even with the air I saw them pushing into my lungs with a bag and mask, I could feel no air, things started to turn into tunnel vision more and more, darkness everywhere, then I was watching them work on me. I was in the far end of the room, it looked like I was 10 feet tall from my vantage point, like looking in from the ceiling is a better way to put it cause I felt like I was being lifted to that position, not standing there. Then I was watching through my eyes again as I felt them strap me to a cold hard board to lift me up onto a patient cart(I know what they are called, just feel this explains it better), I was trying to let them know in any way that I was still with them, not to give up on me yet, but even trying to blink wasn't working. One final time, the darkness surrounded me, and this time I felt it pull me away, I went far away. I felt it, that nothingness you fear that may come with nonexistence. I was there for what felt like forever, then I remember thinking "This can't be it, not like this, after everything else I just survived. I cant leave my family, I dont want this!", then I woke up. I thought it must've been a bad dream, but I was in a new room. It turns out for 3 days, and I was showing no signs of brain activity after the incident. They had called my mother in that night to say her good byes as her son wouldn't be waking back up. The next day though the eeg started to show signs of activity. When my mother asked what that meant, they told her that I may wake up eventually, but from what they can see, I would be a "vegetable". So that night my mother left the hospital again heartbroken still, but the very next day, I woke up. Fully alert, and now I am telling you guys the story of this NDE of mine.

    Love the descriptiveness in most of these.



    I guess mine isn't as terrible, but I could have easily died.



    Okay, so me and a bunch of friends, as well as friends of friends whom I didn't really know too well, went on a pretty regular hiking trip. That day, it was rather cold. Unusually cold even. My friends and the friend who brought the other people who I hadn't known too well split into two groups. Us being the faster group were waiting around doing pretty reckless things. We were climbing dangerous pathways and what not, but that was no contributing factor to the actual near death incident. It was the state of mind that we were in that I wanted to convey. Anyway, we wait for them by wasting time climbing and dicking around, etc. While we were waiting, we decide to traverse onto a high and steep path maybe 30-40 feet high. The whole path was maybe 6 inches wide and covered in little pebbles that if you walked too fast would make you lose traction. Climbing up that steep pathway was the easiest part. When we got to the top (a total of around 6 people,) we see the people who I don't know too well and one friend I've known for years following them. They come and watch us. We weren't doing anything too fancy, but I guess they just wanted to take a rest. Anyway, at the top, we were throwing rocks to see who had the strongest arm. We were all baseball players who had egos it seemed. I had probably the worst arm lol. That lasted a few minutes, but I say this to emphasize the vastness of the space around us. Each rock made a giant bellowing echo. The pathway we had just come from started flat, but past where we were, there were mountains, jagged rocks and just what seemed like a death trap. That went on for miles and miles. Luckily, that isn't where I had my nde.



    Coming down from the top of the place we climbed up to, I had lost my footing because I was going too fast. Undoubtedly, I slipped. 30-40 feet of just rolling, hitting my head on jagged rocks (on either side of that 6 inch margin were sharp rocks.) It seemed like forever to get all the way down back to where we had started the climb, but I eventually met the ground with a loud thud. My head had hit a small, bushy tree when i landed. That tree saved my life. On either side of that tree there were just boulders waiting for me, and with the velocity I was coming in at, hitting my head on any of those boulders would have definitely killed me. I'm glad to be alive today with minor scars from that incident.

    Was 17 and drank waaaaay too much. Woke up in the ER with no idea how I got there. This was 6 hours later and I was still drunk and couldn't read the signs on the walls of the hospital. I was also butt naked with all kinds of tubes and machines attached to me. I started freaking out at first until a nurse heard me scream. I asked what happened and she said I got alcohol poisoning and they had to revive me at least 2 times. Apparently I even told the Dr. In my stupor that I took Xanax....which wasn't true. Oh, also was told my BAL was .23
     
  16. Me and a few buddies were bombing some hills on our longboards outside the local mall. We started at like 8 at night when the mall was closed down for the night to avoid traffic and everything was great till the last run down the big ass hill. It was great until we hit the intersection at the bottom, we were doing at least 25 and I hit a huge pothole that ate my front trucks. I went flying and threw my arms over my head instinctively, I landed and fractured both elbows and fucked up my knee but my buddies saw me go down and avoided the pothole 😂 the nurse had to twist my arms all kinds of ways to get the xrays and that was the worst pain ive ever felt. seeing those xrays was trippy knowing i had huge ass cracks in my bones and i could feel them. the doctors at the hospital said i could have easily gone into a coma if i hit my head on the concrete at that speed
    Moral of the story wear your helmets kids
     
  17. A few years ago I went scuba diving with my family in Jamaica and before you can get your license to scuba dive you have to take a test underwater on the floor of the ocean about 40-50 feet deep. Not crazy deep but if you come up too fast without popping your ears the gas bubbles can give you a really gnarly brain injury. But anyways during the test you have to take your scuba mask off and then put it back on and clear out all the water of the mask by blowing bubbles through your nose. For some reason instead of blowing I sucked and inhaled all the water in my mask and started choking and coughing. And like I said you can't just swim to the top really fast. Since I was coughing I inhaled and got more water, I totally panicked. I guess adrenaline kicked in and I coughed the water into my receiver like you're supposed to do. After that I still had to finish the test, too. Lol
     
  18. I think its cool it made u less afraid instead of more afraid. I heard drowning is one of the most peaceful ways to go actually.
     
  19. Forgot to add this to my story.

    When I got alcohol poisoning all I remember is walking up the front steps of my mom's house and 6 hours later waking up in the hospital. She said I came inside and was stumbling around and cussing. Then I went to my room and laid down and start going into convulsions and puking. They had to cut my shirt off and started CPR. Don't rmember it.
     


  20. Same happened to me MANY TIMES my highest BAC was 0.38
