Anyone had a close to death experience?

[Gerk]

I was thinking about this when they were showing this plane land in Miami

I have not had one myself, but my Grandpa who was a traveling salesman did. He had to fly quite often for his job and hadn't missed a flight in over 20 years. My Grandma and him had a fight one time and he ended up getting to the airport too late for his flight

The flight later crashed into Lake Michigan and all the passengers aboard were killed.

This is the story about it

Anyone else have a near death experience?

My buddy almost got married but I talked him out of it

well, 'close to death' sounds like a wide variaty

i remember my father driving me to school, we crosses the railroad and some car tried to cross the street, thinking that the gates are still closed as the cars were still in line and waiting... we were the first car and the truck hit us right
at the front-seat passenger's door (were i was sitting)... totaling to cars... but i got away with a shock and curables... that was many years ago...

...my grandpa's cruise sank in WWII but he survived it, but his injuries werent curable and he had to live with those another 62 years...

Weighed 3 pounds at birth and was premature by 4 weeks, the doctors gave me very little chance of surviving.

[secondbase]

can't remember it- but I was pronounced by a nurse that I had no pulse after a motorcycle accident at 2AM - guess what stupid things I was doing? Hit a pole, a nurse happened to come by when all my riding buddies were freaking out and checked my pulse and said that I had none. Ambulance came and they said I all of a sudden jumped up and an officer quickly laid me back down. Can't remember didley about it, although I have tried and tried. Lucky - very stupid and very lucky- My shoe and my sock on my right foot were cut in a complete circle around the middle of my foot and I did not get even a scratch.
Concussion and bumps and scrapes. Wasn't my time

Several times

Mine doesn't compare to most but I was sitting at a set of lights going straight when the left hand turn lights went green. A tractor trailer was turning left (opposite from me) and as it was turning, it's load un-hooked and came straight for me. By the time I realized what was happening, I gunned my car (company car/demo) and only got a few feet before it hit me. The load took out the whole drivers side...chest high and above but I managed to lay in the passanger side before it hit. For 2 days I had glass all over me. It felt like I'd shower and glass would fall from me.

The funny thing is the driver bought a car from the dealership that I was working at, at the time, 6 days prior. Oh, and I had that demo for less than 24 hours prior to the accident.

Other than that, I did 2 360's on the highway during a snowstorm and miracully, never got hit. Pissed me pants though

7 years ago I had emergency surgery to remove 10 feet of my small intestine which had perforated....surgeon told my old man that if not for my age and good shape I was in, that I would have been a goner.
