share near death experiences

[Niff]

Once, I fell down the stairs ;(

(Once you think about it, that's actually pretty life threatening)

The only major physical injuries I got was breaking my left wrist
I had a traumatic experience with going on the wrong subway at an airport, separating me from my family.
We reunited two minutes later.
I was 12
Edit:
I heavily believe in death by panic being a thing.

I fell/jumped off a listing golf cart going 20 MPH next to a rough stretch of asphalt pavement last year at church camp. I got scraped up pretty bad and my room key punctured my pocket and almost cut my leg open. And that was all just because I was lucky enough to have been on the side of the golf cart next to the grass. Does that count?

Was born with my Umbilical cord around my neck in a knot, that was almost it for me. (struggle from the womb to the tomb biatch)

And once when I was a kiddo I went onto a construction site with a friend and we started climbing, I slipped and fell like 3m down in the sand, a metal spike had pierced my shirt, right under my shoulder. A few cm the wrong direction and either my arm or my chest would have been pierced.

Also suicidal considerations counts as a close call I guess.

Yeah it was probably your pelvic bone then. You would know if you broke your femur bone. It has a fun little thing it does when it breaks. Basically think of the femur like a guitar and the leg muscles as strings. Strings are under tension but are held by the guitar. Guitar breaks, strings pull it together. Femur bone breaks, leg muscles pull the broken bone every sort of way. Btw I have no musical experience so if guitars aren't like that sorry, was just looking to compare.

Anyway. Yeah you probably shredded so much skin off it reached the edge of the pelvic bone and kept going, which would explain the roughness in the bone you can feel today. The discoloration would most likely be from the fracture and bleeding skin. While its normally incredibly painful, the pelvis is basically a big circle, so a fracture wouldn't cause extreme deformation.
To be honest I can't say. If I had to guess I'd say adrenaline would hugely contribute. Also as you said, you probably sheared a good amount of the nerves out of that area which would explain why the cut skin wouldn't hurt as much.

When I was young I stepped on a piece of glass and completely cut the skin between my toes. It was so deep I cut the nerves and didn't even feel it. I only noticed when I looked behind me and found a large trail of blood coming from my foot.

So I would say you didn't feel much pain because a combo of no nerves left and adrenaline. 

thanks doc :)
Yeah I didn't take into consideration adrenaline too.
I cant find the photo I had, but yeah you're probably right.

oh um hmm
When I was 8 or so I was choking on a piece of candy. Lost consciousness and that would've been it for me if my grandma didn't happen to walk in and find me.

When I was ~12 I was sick and given lots of Tylenol. Turns out I have a liver defect that reacts very badly to Tylenol. I had extreme stomach pains so we went to the hospital. Turned out to be my liver in distress. I was hospitalized for a few days and had to get my blood drawn once every two weeks until I was 15. Since then I've had no tylenol and had zero issues so I finally got to stop that routine procedure.

Then I got appendicitis earlier this year which took me like a week to finally go in for. It was on the edge of bursting so that would've been fatal if left untreated.

Fell from the 11th floor of a condo.
Blacked out halfway.
Broke a leg, that was it.

one time I registered for the forums

Every day I drown in pusillanimous individual.

[Yosher]

This one time I didn't watch where I was going and I nearly got run over by a car, but I slipped due to icy roads, which ended up saving my life. No idea if that would have killed me but like 5 entire classes (150 people or so) were watching so I guess nearly dying of embarrassment also counts.

This other time I was at a swimming pool and some douche didn't wait a few seconds until I went down the slide, so I got down, turned around and as I was inhaling through my mouth, this other guy landed in the water which caused me to inhale water. I had to cough a lot and once again, I have no idea if it would have killed me but I was pretty scared and panicking like crazy. Dude didn't even apologize and went back to his douchebag friends, still need to place a hit on him btw.

One day at camp we went to a swimming pool, it had like those little plates that'd float in water and can hold about 2 kids
I toppled over, my friends were on top of the thing. i tried swimming away but the loving thing came with.
I start running out of air and panic try pushing the thing out of my way, lets just say when you're losing your breath you hardly think.
Luckily my brain started function again and came with the idea of swimming backwards and jumping out of the water like a loving dolphin.
I came out of the water and inhaled all of the loving air, i embraced that loving air.
Told my friends how i almost drowned who were still on the thing, they said i was only under for 6 seconds.
If i hadn't panicked i wouldnt've lost so much air in the first place
