I had several.
For instance, I almost got a heart attack when Microsoft windows poped up the blue screen when It was 95% done for a 32MB download with a 56K modem.

I was sixteen and goofing off in Tahoe with a buddy. We got onto an elevator in Harrah's to find our boss standing there with a women who wasn't his wife. That was a close one!
It involves an angry, 225lb woman venting her frustrations out on me. And I do mean on me. That's as near death as I ever want to be without gettin' through to the other side!
I was about 13 and went on a week trip with my class to the Marin Headlands in California. We went on a hike up to a cliff where they had a bunch of loose rocks. My group was walking down a path and I was one of the lasts to walk down. I suddenly slipped on one of the lose rocks and came sliding down the path. My fingers were half an inch to the cliff. I could have easily fallen off and cliff and went straight down to the ocean. That was one of the freakiest near-death experiences I've had.

i almost got hit by a car on a skateboard 3 times, i bumped my head on the corner of a wall doing a st00pid gring trick (which was bleeding profusely, and i still have the scar to proove it), I almost drowned boogie boarding, and last when i wuz around 9 i wuz playing around in my mom's car i put the car into drive and it almost went down the long steep hill...
Well , let's see....hmm... could have been that time I was up for aweek doing BLOW, and drinking Jack D, and I did the funky chicken...
Or the time I was up for a week doing MUSHROOMS, LSD, drinking TEQUILA, and eating the worms like it was pasta...then doing the funky Salsa
Or maybe the time I was doing CRANK, DEMEROL, MESCALIN, and LEMON-HART for a week straight...then doing the funky Mambo
Or............
Ahhhhh.....the good 'ol days...brings tears to me eyes. Brushes w/ death will never be the same

My experience also involved a motorcycle. I was hit from behind by some ahole in a green caddy. He barely hit me, but it scared the crap out of me. To make matters worse, we were going through a pretty sharp turn, and the impact caused me to head into the direction of the concrete center divider. I freaked out and jerked the bike away from the wall. I over did it though, and sent the bike into a skid. I knew I was going down at that point, so I tried to jump off so the bike wouldn't crush my leg. I did it, but I landed right in the middle of the road. I almost passed out from the impact, but I held on.
I can't tell you how weird it felt to be moving 50mph or so with nothing around you. I traveled about 200 feet or so on my stomach and hands. Thankfully, I was wearing my leather that day. All I could hear was the squeal of cars hitting their brakes. When I looked up, I saw a car right over me. He somehow managed to stop just before hitting me. When I was finally able to get up, I saw 20 or so cars twisted in a 100 different directions. I could not believe it.
The guy who just missed hitting me got out of his car and called 911, while the woman he was with took care of my head. I had a gash in my forehead about an inch long, and a cut under the bridge of my nose. It was nothing really, but it bled a lot. I could barely see out of the eye on that side, because the blood kept falling into it. The woman went back to the car and made a bandage out of a tee shirt. The boys in blue got there in what seemed like seconds. The younger of the two cops said something like S@#% you're alive. I thought we would have to scrape you off the highway. I thought it was funny as hell, but it pissed off the woman. She went ballistic and really tore into him. It was great.
My bike was a mess, but it still ran. I thanked the two strangers & offered to pay for the tee shirt, but they declined. The cops wouldn't let me go until the emt's checked me out. It took them over 20 minutes to get there. They wanted to take me to the hospital, but by then I was fine. I wasn't even shaking anymore. I thanked the group, and slowly drove home.

HansHurt: yep, what looked like a a looooong go without Internet turned into just a day thanks to the tech doing me a favor.
He did me a favor (and put himself behind schedule) by coming out early this am to fix it.
It helps to know the tech, otherwise, it'd have been a week minimum with no Internet. :Q

During a snowstorm, hitting black ice on an interstate and car went beserk making pretzel-like trajectory!
Luckily there's no car behind me.
I was six and was tiptoeing across the edge of the pool with a three little piggties book in the hand. Then I lost my balance and fell into the pool. I remember breathing in water, and it hurting a lot. Thankfully my sister saved me since she saw me fall way before anyone else in my family noticed.
To this day I avoid the water like the plague.

LordMaul - the boyfriend had it worse, he got to suck on the end of a shotgun barrel while Dad yelled insults that would make a sailor hide.
what an experience for ur boyf.
1. when i was 6 i fell off a 3 story building and landed on my ass felt nothing.
2. drowned when i was 10, was in the emergency room for 5 days. They wanted to take me to a pressure chamber had to ship me out to hawaii but woke up in the nick of time. Was playin hide a seek with my friend around a swimming pool and thought ohh "he cant find me in the deep end" All i remember is looking up at the sun sinking slowing under water and thinking "wow i can breath under water!"
3. Riding my bike down a big hill and a car passed me and i ran right into a water ditch. Flew 15 feet and bikeless for a while.
4. got caught smokking pot by the principle with a group of friends on high school dorm. I really saw my life flash before me. But he let us off thank God.
5. Opened up a tv out of bordom and the electron thingy in the back of the tube shot straight up and missed my head my a less then a inch and stuck on to the wall.
6. 3 months ago i went with a friend to buy mdf wood at home depo. 4 big ass boards 5*7 sat it in the back of the car. I joked that if we got into an accident that board will fly forward and decapitate us. haha. So i took of my seat belt and he lift the head rest so it will hit the head rest and push his head forward. And what do you know bang! smashed his up real good. mdf missed my head by a few inches, friend got a little scratch on his head because the head rest wasnt that long. My face flew right into the windshide cracked the glass. Worst part is i had to stay up for 2 days to finish my design project.
7. week ago went biking on a trail. Went on the trail where bikes are not allowed, there was a narrow walk space where it drops 40 ft. I feel forward and caught a little bush. But bike was fine!.
HA im not going to die anytime soon! Guess someone has something big planed for me.
