<p>This one is really stupid. I was in like 5th grade and trying to fix the lamp. Something was wrong with the wire so I turned off the lamp and used scissors to cut it. Then, FLASH!!!!!! There was a loud popping sound and I let go of the scissors. I forgot to pull the plug... When I looked at the scissors, there was a huge crack where the electricity had jumped to the other part of them.</p>
<p>When I was trying to infiltrate a military-fortified base in the snowy mountains with my security detail. Oh wait, whoops, “Inception” is still in the brain…</p>
<p>Biking, I didn’t see a car coming. I managed stop right before the car smashed into me…</p>
<p>Lightening hit a tree that was about 50 feet from where I was standing. I nearly got hit by a bus because I didn’t quite realize that because people drive on the other side of the road means you should look the opposite direction to scout oncoming traffic.</p>
<p>Car missed me by 0.5 seconds. It was moving fast enough to at least break a few ribs, possibly kill me.</p>
<p>I had pyloric stenosis when i was 6 weeks old. No lump, and I was a girl [it’s less common in girls], so the doctors actually had no idea what was wrong with me until it was almost too late. I got the surgery [i still have a scar], but I was below my birthweight and the doctor told my parents that I probably would’ve died in a few more hours.</p>
<p>A bullet to the head in a dream</p>
<p>My closest was only in dreams…but I personally know a person who was declared legally dead for five minutes.</p>
<p>Once I was in a car accident 10 yrs ago. We were towing a 22’ boat, and rear-ended a guy who cut us off. Boat came off the trailer and smashed into the 3rd row seat of our car. Normally I actually sat in the 3rd row seat, but decided to sit in the 2nd that day…</p>
<p>Lymphoma

<p>Funny story, last night in a dream some lego battleships came to Earth and because of that, cats ruled the world. They were about to harvest my brain, when I thought, in my dream, that this was so stupid that I ripped off my brain-harvesting tools and walked away into a shoe warehouse.</p>
<p>So that’s kinda close.</p>
<p>Double pneumonia.
Lungs filled up with fluid.
Flat-lined for about a minute.
I was clinically dead.</p>
<p>Had an out-of-body experience. </p>
<p>Lived.</p>
<p>Almost got ran over by a taxi in Uganda when I was like 8 lol.</p>
<p>Hit in the neck with a 2-liter bottle rocket. Crushed my windpipe and my jugular, lack of blood and oxygen to my brain caused blindness that lasted three days. Luckily some paramedics happened to be in the park with us wrapping a sprained ankle or something, so I got to the hospital pretty quick. I looked like an octopus had given me a hickey for a loooooong time, though.</p>
<p>Heroin overdose.</p>
<p>Seriously, never been close to death.</p>
<p>I took too many benadryl once…does that count?</p>
<p>B+?? WHAT IS THIS B+ THAT I SEE HERE???</p>
<p>there you go. the rest is history, just fill in the blanks.</p>
<p>Almost got ran over by a bike today. Probably wouldn’t have died though. Lol :P</p>
<p>About 12 years ago I was in the car with my mom, father, and younger brother. We were driving on the highway. All of a sudden some guy in a truck drives up to us and yells “Your car is on fire!!!”. So we stop and pull over and my mom races over to get me out of my carseat, while my father does the same to my brother. I can still remember saying to my mom “I got the first part” (because there were two steps you needed to do to open the belt on the carseat.) About 5 minutes later the car kind of blew up and the whole thing was on fire. I am so thankful that guy had the decency to tell us.</p>
<p>Brownies…but that was the past.</p>
