Well since you asked, this was my home when I was 19 yrs. old. Someone f---ed up, we hung there for a few minutes, could have gone either way, to the bottom with all hands, or surface. I am still alive. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/pxQ0Bmx.jpg)

Several...Had a loaded .25 auto pressed against my temple after a crazy drunk fired one in the air to get our attention....Was on the same Pan Am flight 103 a few days before it exploded over Lockerbie...worked in the North tower WTC 79th floor until May of 2001.....Got airlifted to Stoney Brook Trauma April 3 2011 with multiple injuries form a MC collision...That should have been a signal 50 but I made a complete recovery.....Had a preminision of glass flying past my face as I approached an intersection of which I had the right of way...I locked up the wheels and cut to the right as a Large SUV failed to yield and would have caught me in the drivers door.....to name a few

Several.
Almost electrocuted working on my washing machine, passenger in a car that rolled, almost rolled a cab-less combine, had a blow-out on straight road minutes after driving thru a windy mountain road with long drop-offs, some close calls on a motorcycle, etc.
Nothing to compare to a lot of the ones others have mentioned.

I used up my 9 lives
4 avalanches - swept off a small cliff and saved by deep powder below, in another I stopped just short on a big cliff, a 3rd one had big rocks ricocheting like a pinball game.
Large canoe crushed below me in a river strainer. Saved by barbed wire that was tangled in the strainer.
Inverted landing on a snowboard - OK for some but I do not have freestyle skills.
Rock slide above an aspen grove we that were hiking through - boulders hopping airborne and breaking off big aspen trees like canon balls shot through the forest.
Ran in front of a vehicle at the age of 5.
Passenger in a car that flipped - Shelby Mustang.
Charged by a bison - horsing around in high school.

Too many to count- - - -car and motorcycle wrecks, flipped a tractor on a steep downhill with a 16 foot trailer of firewood on behind, run over by a race car that jumped the pit wall, did a face plant in the shop onto a hydraulic lift pad 3 inches off the floor, an irate father patterned a 12 gauge on the trunk of my car when I brought his daughter home late one night- - - -life has been "interesting" but I'm still looking at the top side of the grass at age 73!

Anybody who has ever fell through the ice gas my sympathy. Hard to explain the sensation of being instantly numb and your clothes filling with water taking you down.... I was with my son, ice fishing. I broke completely through and fully submerged. My son sensed something wrong. Turned and looked. He ran to the hole and grabbed material on my coat and yanked me out. I was so cold, I couldn't speak. He got me to shore and started the truck. He stripped me down to my long johns and got the heater to warm me along with hot coffee. Another time I was on top of our Thompson 24' fishing boat while it was on the trailer. I slipped and fell to the ground. I hit my head on a snowmobile trailer then hit on on a length of angle iron on the ground I was not breathing and he did CPR on me while my wife called an ambulance. I made it both times cause here I am.

Made it to a sandbag bunker about 1 second before a VC rocket landed between the shoulder blades of a plane I had been tending to in Da Nang. Sand does an excellent job of stopping shrapnel.
Next. Last year I ran over one of Cookie's cameras and a 100-400mm lens. That was a close one!

Mine was having a heat stroke about 15 years ago.
Came too in the ambulance as the EMT was standing over me charging up the paddles. Heard him say
“He has no pulse & no BP”
Oh and being married to two physco Red Heads. 🤠

Second night of Desert Storm at about 0300. There had been a couple SAMs and typical AAA but nothing terribly exciting.
We had just gone wings level inbound on our 2nd jamming orbit at 22,000 feet and 400 KTS escorting 4 A-6's in to bomb the thermal power plant in Basra. Another jet passed so close that the canopy jumped with a split second roar. No call from the E-2, we didn't wear NVGs back then and everyone was lights out. We figure we came within about 10' of being a greasy splotch in the sky. Still no clue who it was.

Fell into a very cold lake in October and my winter clothes filled with water. Couple guys with me pulled me out.
The protective cage came open while riding a fast spinning type ride at the fair. Grabbed the front of it and held it closed with everything i could because no one noticed and couldn't have stopped the thing anyway. Told the operators. They didn't seem to care. About met the concrete headfirst from 30 feet.
Raced cars a couple times on county roads.
Appendicitis...almost burst.
