Have you ever been in a life-threatening situation?

Car accidents is all. I swear one day I'm going to get robbed while cashiering at work.

Car crash but it wasnt life threating

When I was a child, I rode a roller coaster and my safety bar came loose. The other people in the cabin had to hold me in. I never went on another roller coaster.

Yes - I was nearly run over by a big rig while on a motorcycle - the asshole never saw me. Came out of it scared to death - but without a scratch because I was able to get out of his way.

No real life threatening situations for me yet. I've been in a couple of those aww shit we just went in the ditch type of situations with other people driving but nothing too serious.

I actually just got off the phone with hubby and he was picking up pizza for lunch. The place were he got pizza at had a delivery boy attacked and beaten badly to rob him of his whole $40.00.

Ive had car accidents but nothing life threatening. I almost died as a baby though around 4 months old i had spinal meningitis and barely pulled through. But Im a fighter because most dont survive through it period. But my immune system is really weak now because they had to pump me with the strongest antibiotics for 14 days straight into my spine. So I get sick and stuff easy now. During that time I also had to have several spinal taps every single day all 14 plus days. Im really glad I dont remember that, my mom said it traumatized her and the nurses the way id scream every time from getting it done.

Whew. Some scary situations people have been in.

I've been in some car crashes (I was not driving in any of them, except for one where I slipped on Black Ice when I was in college. The car wouldn't stop moving sideways. I ended up on someone's lawn. When I was a kid my mother drove a car she knew had very low air in one tire, and attempted to go all the way to my grandmother's summer house, on the highway. We ended up fishtailing all over and sideways across ALL the cars on the highway, all 4 lanes. That was decades ago, and I can still hear all the brakes of the cars that nearly hit us.

She refused to pump the air into the tires herself (she has a "Why should I have to?" attitude.) We stopped at a self serve station, where obviously no one was going to do it for her, so she decided, with a myself and a bunch of kids in the car, to drive anyway nearly 90 miles in a virtually non-drivable car anyway. This situation could have been prevented.

I've been in anaphylactic shock several times. Very scary to not be able to breathe, have pain all over your body and feel yourself passing out. Now where the hell is my epi-pen?

Luckily no but I have put myself in situations that could have gone bad. Thankfully they did not.

I once honestly thought I was done when I was kid. My aunt had one of those 5ft above ground round pools. They had this HUGE round raft in there (I still don't know why the hell it was in there) and the kids were all piled on. I managed to slip through a space between the raft and pool. The water was moving so the raft floated and closed up where I had fallen. I was punching the bottom trying to get someone's attention but it wasn't working and I wasn't able to push the raft to move it from underneath. Finally someone noticed I was missing and everyone got out. I was starting to get light headed and got all hysterical. It was scary though.

I was in an accident my freshmen year of college. I was stupid and took the back roads to class thinking the weather had been better. I hit a patch of black ice and felt myself lose control of the car, with the river on one side. Luckily it went in the other direction but ended up flipping over on the top. I remember saying out loud "please don't flip, please don't flip" but it did and it was like it happened in slow motion. It landed in a ditch and that is probably what saved me from being smashed. I didn't have my seat belt on either but being short and the seat so close to the steering wheel, it prevented me from really moving. My mom was more shaken up and upset when she got there than I was. I was more concerned about them getting the tow truck out there before the high school let out because I didn't want anyone to see what the hell I had done that day!

But nothing seriously scary has happened, just those two things.

My apartment building caught on fire while I was in my apartment.

Eep!

Too many! I was born dead, had open heart surgery that failed, been held up (a few times! Damn ghetto store!), car crashes, psycho ex boyfriend, a redwood fell and sliced the bus I was on in two! Three feet in front of me! Um... jumped into a river because I saw someone throw a box of kittens into the water (I had to save them!), and my uncle and aunt tried to drown me (no joke!).

Sad thing is... I could go on.

Several ones.
My birth (Last minute C-section), I survived a fire in my nursery/kindergarden, I had two attempted murders on me when I was a child by my precious classmates, I almost drowned when I was little because I was found of doing acrobatics underwater, I attempted suicide at 12 but decided against it in the long run... Also, idiots can't drive in my neighbourhood, so several of them "don't see me" and I don't see them, because they go around 40km over the darn speed limit. Oh well... Life is a life threatening condition.

Drove my car over a hill once. It was dark and I was driving on a backroad that wasn't lit and I missed a turn. There was no guardrail so my car pretty much flew down this hill. Tried to stop but since it was grassy it just kept going. Probably the scariest thing in my life.

I have been in a few fender benders, nothing serious though.

A couple of car crashes. They ended up not being too serious, but giant machines smashing into each other are pretty life-threatening!

I haven't...thank God!

I've only been in one car accident, and it was a fender-bender.

I've fallen off my horse a bunch of times, which could be life-threatening (I have friends who've broken backs and stuff), but the worst I've ever gotten is a messed up lower back.

Other than that nothing really.
