I’m sure most of us have almost wrecked in traffic or on the freeway where we likely would have died if not for a last minute swerve.

Medical stuff? Crazy fight? Freak accident? Interested to hear any stories.

Other than driving, the only close call I had was a rocket attack in Iraq that was close enough to knock me off my feet. Rockets come in faster than artillery so there’s no time to get to a bunker, no warning sirens.

Also stopped breathing when I was born and had to be air lifted to another hospital. I guess it if I died they would’ve called it SIDS (obviously don’t remember this)

Nope.. besides stiches i never broken any bone or had to stay in a hospital for an extended period of time. i did have this mexican gang banger put a gun in my face

I think a gun in the face counts lol

I'm fairly sure I almost died from COVID about 5 years ago. I know people love to claim it wasn't real, but it just started with the sniffles. Then my girlfriend had gotten it from work and pretty sure made whatever I had into some super virus where I had severe pneumonia with dangerously low blood oxygen levels with a 102 degree fever for 2 weeks. Never felt like that in my life. Lost 20 pounds. Refused medical treatment other than a cocktail of prescription meds after I had the energy to drive myself to urgent care after 2 weeks, when my fever finally broke. Once I took the meds, I was literally normal in 2 days.

What was the blood oxygen level?

I would suggest regular mediation can lead to the same types of altered consciousness experiences as described in NDE.

Low 80s. I'd get dizzy, out of breath, and almost pass out by just waking. I have never been in such bad condition in my life.

Coming back from veterinarian and I pull out onto a street during sunset. Can't see that great due to glare, but it is not a busy road and there was next to no traffic. Glance down for not even a second to check to make sure my cat was doing ok and when I look back up there is a car headed straight for me probably going 80+MPH. This was on a 45 MPH street and I probably wasn't even going 35 MPH yet. I was driving super slow because I didn't want to freak the cat out. The car swerves out of the way at last moment. I have no idea what the other driver was doing, but if they hadn't swerved they would have for sure killed me. No time to react.

The fact they were going so fast and that the sun was in my eyes is almost certainly why I didn't see them coming. There were two lanes going each direction. I was on in the inside lane (closest to curb) so they had to make a concerted effort to get that far over into my lane. They either lost control or were high/drunk/medical episode. Possibly playing chicken? If they were playing chicken they were retarded because the sun was obstructing my vision. I have no idea, but it became very clear to me that sometimes shit is just out of your control and people can kill you through no fault of your own.

I lost access to my misc platinum account. Dark days.

Not much tbh. I went undiagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes for atleast 3 years. Probably closer to 5. Only thing that kept me alive is that your body naturally craves sugar when your blood sugar is low. Nothing to help lower blood sugar naturally if its high other than exercise so i ended up getting DKA and staying in the ICU for a week in a half eventually

In Thailand a prostitute and her prostitute friend tried to abduct me and hold me ransom.

Idk, when I used to play football, on kickoff, you're running at the opponent. Sometimes they're pussies, sometimes they're not. When you make contact all you see is black plus stars. Your helmet is hitting their helmet, for those unaware. We go on

Yep. Know these feels as well but never felt like I was close to death lol (definitely saw stars many times)

Home Depot

Right, but would we know if we dieded?

I got robbed at gunpoint in my early 20s. I was sitting in the car waiting for my girlfriend to come out of her apartment because sloots take forever to get ready. It was a beautiful September night around 7:30pm, so I had the windows down, just scrolling on my phone breathing in the fresh air. Unfortunately the car was off. All of a sudden I feel something ice cold on my cheek. I look over and there's a guy dressed in ALL black (black hoodie, black gloves, black ski mask, black guy lol) holding gun to my head. He said "everything" and I knew what it was. Surprisingly, I stayed pretty calm and told him "I don't have shit" but he pressed the gun deeper into my cheek. So I gave up my wallet. He demanded my phone after that and I tossed it to him. The whole thing lasted 30 seconds max. Before I could even look back, he was gone.

Almost like a professional stick up kid.

Cops ended up showing up with dogs, they took a report, but with no real description they basically told me I was SOL.

Then the next day I saw my phone on Facebook Marketplace. One of my friends messaged the dude selling it and he said he found it in the trash. I still don't know if it was the phaggot who robbed me or someone who knew him, but needless to say, they got spooked and dropped it off at the local bus station for free (srs). Got it back lmao.

For a few weeks after that I would have dreams that I got shot in the head and killed that night. I would also have violent fantasies of tracking the dude down and murdering him. I mean vicious shit like beating him to death with my bare hands, slitting his throat, torturing him in front of his children. My mind went to a DARK place. I wanted retribution. Of course I had no clue who he was and he never got caught. Eventually I got over it though. I'm grateful to be alive.

Looking back I don't think I was likely to be killed, so I'm not sure if it counts as a "near death experience" but of course anything could've gone wrong. To this day I can't sit in an idle car without feeling uncomfortable. Even being stopped a red light gives me anxiety.

Brah I'm not trolling (srs) but is this a copypasta?

I ate at Olive Garden once...

Hehe me too. Reporting from the "other" side

Crazy story srs

Nope. Ded fkin srs.

All right. One sec

That shit ain't right. Unfortunately these guys are small guys. Hard to locate, random, hidden in the shadows

Near drowning at the Acadia swimming pool in Calgary back in the late 60’s . I went to jump off the 14 foot diving board and once I got to the top I was like fk this lol .
Anyways I tried to go back down and the sloot life guard screamed at me and said you can’t go back down the stairs?
Anyways I had a bad feeling about it but jumped regardless. I took on some water on impact and started struggling bigly . Next thing you know I couldn’t move my body anymore and just sank .
It was very surreal , and I was still conscious and was falling in a seated position , and the last thing I remember was my butt touching the bottom of the 10’ end .
My buddies dad got me and the life guard revived me .



Another water incident yet ,this time when I was in my late 20’s.
So I’ve got this insane Pranther tunnel hull remote control 11cc boat . The thing is sick AF and can do 70 mph on 80% nitro methane .
Anyways it flipped and I had to go fetch it . My dingy had this little pin holes in the bottom seam , so I had to pump it up as I’m rowing on occasion .
So I get like mere feet 0f being able to grab it and a gust of wind pushes it another 15 feet away .
The next thing you know I’m chasing this thing to the middle of this near bottomless lake , and I turn around to pump some more air in the dingy but it has fallen off the valve and sunk .
I’m like wtf now?
Disclaimer , I can only swim for about 10 feet and it’s bye bye lol . Anyways the dingy is folding on me as I’m sinking . Now I’m left with two pillows of air, one in front and one in back .
The water is always super cold but I barely felt it because of the adrenaline. So I’ve got my head just above the water line and I have the oars out to the sides trying to stabilize myself from flipping upside down from the waves and wind gusts .
Then things got crazy . I looked at the shore on both sides and realized I was practically in the dead centre of the lake with no one in site but a few guys with no boats fishing off the shore.
It was almost like the stories you’ve heard about your life flashing before your eyes , as I knew I was going to dieded in a few minutes, and I’m seeing hundreds of memories flash by in my brain .
Well all of the sudden there’s this extremely bright star coming towards me on the water . I’m like holy Faurk , this is legit what an actual angle looks like when you are dying .
Anyways turns out it was the sun hitting an aluminum boat lol . The guy was on vacation and fishes there every year. He was drifting in the bible camp area in a cove , and some how his wife seen me and they came to the rescue .
Talk about fate srs . Note to self , buy a fking life jacket if you can’t swim lol

Another phaggot autist miscer beaten up by a hooker...?

They pulled knives on me and tried to abduct me into a dark alleyway but I ran away.

Another time. One pulled a knife and threatened to kill me and wouldn’t leave my hotel room unless I paid her all my cash which was like 12k baht I had on me until I threatened to call the police and she left.

I've nearly died about 20 times so yeah


U can't sting the king and i was never afraid either, not even once

That’s brootal . We shouldn’t have to live like this srs
