close to death stories

[ßløçks]

When I was six or seven I can't remember, I was eating this hard candy about the diameter of a quarter, somehow I accidentally swallowed it whole, and I couldn't breath, at all. I was at this weird office place, my dad, and his fellow workers were working at computers, I used all the air I had left to scream and run over to them, luckily they noticed, and I don't know what they did but I think one of them lifted me upside down while the other slammed on my back really hard, and the candy just got knocked out of my mouth covered in saliva, one of them was my dad who had saved me but I'll never know if he held me up or  slammed my back. I don't know how they came up with that plan so quickly, but I was so scared I was crying for about 20 minutes afterwards, that's why I have everlasting respect for my dad now. I still remember most of it to this day because of how traumatizing it was. Thx dad

a year or so ago I was going really really loving fast, pegging my speedometer (it only goes up to 100) and a guy pulled out of his driveway in front of me. If i was going any faster, if there was a car in the other lane, and if that truck had come out any later i would not have been able to avoid him. scary stuff

worst one yet

ot: once i was skinny dipping when i was 7 and there was a diving board, so i decided to run off of it
i slipped and fell onto the concrete next to the diving board, making half of my entire face gush blood

[Smashed_Eggs]

i swallowed a penny, ran around choking, then coughed it out along with tasty vomit

same but instead of a penny i choked on a pound (if you dont know what im talking about here ) how it happened
i was pretending to be the sea monster that eats you if you go out too far in the sea in spore, infront on my bed then i threw the pound in my mouth and choked then ran to my sisters room and got sparkling water and drank it a lot, her friend and her were terrified and was scared for my sis to call my mom and dad to know about it, so i pleaded 'please dont tell mom and dad' next day later i had to go to the toilet and tried to poop out the pound and no success. next time i pooped it was a lot of poop and when i finished my mom put on gloves, took the poop and searched for the pound and when she found it she washed the pound, and the poop away.

second near death
i was like 4 or 5 and my head was stuck in the toilet somehow, and i was drowning and my parents saved me

off topic i guess?
i was stuck also in the toilet before the 2nd close death like

I almost drowned when I was very young.

[crazy54311]

I once almost drowned by going down a waterslide thinking that I can swim/float only to plop down underwater. Another time was when I picked up a Frisbee off the street only for a car to just be 5 seconds into slamming me hard into my sides because whoever the forget was driving it went hella fast. There was also a time when a stupid me tossed a knife into the sink only for it to miss and bounce back at me only to barely miss, only for it to happen AGAIN the 2nd time I tried to toss it in.

there was also another time where I fell into one of those spiky as holy hell bushes but I don't like to be reminded about that

This actually happened to me a few days ago.

While I was walking down the main street of a local town with my girlfriend, we had to cross the road to get to the comic book store. The cross walks force the drivers to yield to pedestrians. So, we press the button, the lights flash, people stop for us, we begin crossing. In an instant, this 60 or 70 year old woman came blazing down at 50 miles an hour and nearly blind sides me as I'm halfway through the crosswalk. She was inches away and I knew how lucky I was for being just a second early because she would've never seen the both of us soon enough to stop hard.

one time not too long ago i went to chili's and i had some steak
i took too big of a bite and i was choking on it, and i was freaking out

When I was between 8 and 10 years old, I lived in a tiny town with maybe 200 people max. A main highway goes straight through the center and many people go 60 or 70 (perhaps more) on it. I would play on the highway picking up littered cans of bottles and stand on the street so drivers would see me. Then I'd lay the cans on the road and run out of the way hoping they would run over them.

Also, the first time I ever drove a car myself (the family's 12 passenger van), I was almost hit from behind by a police car when turning into a parking lot. I definitely wouldn't have died, but he could've been hurt and his airbags would've deployed had he not missed me. He only didn't hit me because he managed to slide into the oncoming lane with his tires smoking from the brakes. The tire marks are still there to this day, even though it happened several months ago (I made a thread when it happened)

i wanted a tongue ring so i put a plastic ring in my mouth and then i choked on it and later coughed it up
my parents walked by me and didn't even notice

[F3d323]

i thought it was a good idea to put a ring in my mouth and when i started playing with it with my tongue i accidentally swallowed it
i dont remember how i got it out, though

It was 2005, I was riding my bike home from school when my brakes broke and a drunk driver sped up to my bike. I jumped off of it and called 911 from a payphone. I luckily survived but the driver ended up driving into the YMCA and died on impact.
