This isn't exactly "close to dying", but when I was around 10 years old, I was jumping on my mom's friend's son's trampoline in Sweden, having fun. I decided to try to do a front (or back??) flip on the trampoline (i've done it before successfully), and it ended pretty badly. I managed to land straight on my back and knock all the air out of my system. I couldn't breath for a full 5-10 seconds, but then I began to regain the ability to breath. It was pretty scary at the time.

I was in my backyard on a trampoline, six or so years old, and I don't know how the heck it happened but I launched off the loving thing and hit the loving side of my house and then fell down. I couldn't get back up for a bit and I was just laying there crying.

I don't remember anything past that.

sniffed my chair which hasn't been washed for years

[NessNet]

Almost drowned but then the life guard saved me.

I could literally feel my life slipping away when it happened.

I was like 4 at the time so yeah I can still remember it lol.

[The Resonte!]

sniffed my chair which hasn't been washed for years

[Blockzillahead]

After almost getting run over by 2 cars I feel as if I'm not supposed to be alive right now.
