Oh yeah. I almost drowned twice in my life. The first time, I was 6/7 and waded to far into the pool before sinking in.

The second time was in the Gulf of Mexico, pre oil spill. Was trying to reach a sandbar, but my arms gave out and I began to sink. That one was a very close call.

Yea I almost drowned once, the sand beneath my feet gave away, and I never learned how to swim. It's a terrible feeling, not one I want anyone to experience. I don't like going to the ocean since then, if I do I just stay close to the shore with an army of friends around me.

I'm starting to want to hug everyone in this thread!

A few times. Fell off a 40-foot cliff and crushed parts of my spine is my most recent. Two fairly serious car crashes, one that made the local news because it ended up being a 5 car pile-up including a school bus. Suffered concussions in both of them. The first time I nearly died though, I was about 10 years old and walking through the woods. I stumbled across some old wire strung up in between trees(it was about 6 inches up off the ground), tripped, and caught myself literally about half an inch above a wickedly sharp metal stake in the ground. It would have been an instant kill because it was right at my heart.

Then there was my one real suicide attempt when I was younger, took a ton(read, 48 pills) of some medication that was known to increase heart-rate, trying to give myself a heart-attack. Instead, I spent the entire night puking my guts up.

Probably a few times.

I nearly sliced my eyeballs with a remote control helicopter yesterday, if that counts.

I have no [censored] clue. What constitutes almost being killed? Making it through something where a small [censored] up would mean death or severe injury? If so, many times. I was a bit of an adrenaline junkie for awhile. Been mugged a few times. Landed face first on cement from an 8 ft drop as a kid. Nearly fell off of multiple trails I was hiking. Clipped myself on the shoulder jumping off a waterfall. An inch or two to the left and I would have hit my head really hard on some very hard rocks. Many surfing mishaps. A few driving mishaps as well. Some drinking and partying mishaps. The list goes on. I have had a lot fewer of these things happen in recent years. Can't tell if I became more of a chicken or I merely wised up.

Went to China and got in a taxi. Almost died multiple times that ride.

I feel kinda boring here, I really can't think of anything. I fell off a fire truck at a fire a few weeks back, but I only hit my leg (the person I landed on was probably in more danger than I was).

Oh, right, I drove through Minneapolis/St. Paul a few times on I94/494/35E. Bumper to bumper traffic at 75 mph, [censored] insane.

Did the same thing in New York. Probably missed about 6 other vehicles by inches. From everything I hear about China, it must be worse. I know people who straight up just bought their license...there. Coincidentally, they cannot drive for [censored].
