WHat have you done that you were able to live to tell about it?

I once beat a train by 15 feet. I was hit by an 18 wheeler that I never saw coming. I was making a u-turn under a bridge and the semi swerved to try and avoid me, but still hit me with the gas tank and spun me 360degrees.
 
Stood about 15 feet away from an exploding car. My shoulder will never be the same.

That was a bad day.
 
I was engulfed by sulfur smoke and fumes and my lungs and throat closed up so tight that I almost blacked out. Friend said my face color looked that of a dead guy. Scared the shit out of me! I really thought I was a gonner.

Pretty similar situation as you with the train.

Can't count how many times I have run a red light in a high traffic area on accident only to look in the rearviw mirror and wonder how I made it through all those cars.
 
Closest I've come to death has always involved vehicles.
 
flipped 3.5 times in my car doing 80+ mph and only got a broken thumb and a concussion - that was with only lap belts too.

other than that I am pretty sheltered
 
I also got bitten by one of these bastards when I was a kid.

Ive held a little grudge ever since, and have always been racist towards them.

I only like EASTERN diamondback rattlesnakes now.
 
came no more than 8" from clipping the tail of a small pickup truck that pulled out in front of me when I was in triple digits on my cycle.

Oh shit. That would have made quite a mess. I've known lots of people that have been killed on motorcycles.
 
Almost slid underneath a taxi while crossing the street in elementary school. I believe I was in the 3 or 4th grade. There was snow and ice on the ground. The car was turning as I crossing. I only remember lying along the side of a cab and then being in an ambulance.

In the 2nd grade, fell and bust my head open while running, bled like a pig.

Robbed at gunpoint at 16. He said he had a gun, I didn't question him and didn't move fast enough . . . he only snatched my chain, thank god. But I was terrified, lived outside of NYC for 2 years

yup! Scary shit! I was punchin' about 140 when this assclown backs out on to the road from his favorite fishin' hole. I hit the brakes and sat up from my tuck and slowed instantly to about 85-90. If it weren't for the fact that it was a two lane road, I'd of had no where to go.
 
I almost got dragged into a car, by my hair - by this crazy bastard when I was around 15. He had hold of my hair and kept banging my head against the car yelling, "Do you know me? Do you know who I am??? Get in the *uckin car!!" Then when I lived on campus in college there was no parking so I had to park really far away from the dorms in a bad neighborhood. I got chased twice while trying to carry books, laundry and run...

Quadrunner accident in 5th gear hit a telephone pole head on, Totaled my car into a guard rail because I was a young teen idiot who drove after drinking...Skiing down a black diamond hill and had to swerve to miss a little girl and landed on my head...

I feel accident prone suddenly. :worried:

Drunkin' train hopping, how red neck does that sound, lol ?

All military ops.
A rocket propelled gernade exploded near our position in Panama.
I got hit, I didn't realize it until I passed out while firemans carrying a buddy of mine.
He didn't make, I was lucky.

Flipped my car (70' Z28) end over end.
No seat belts. flipped it 5 times, over 110 feet from start to finish.
Walked away from that one with a broken nose, ribs, stitches.

I used to "free solo" rockclimb, lost a buddy of mine doing that.
Here's a pic of me at 18:

I raced motocross when I was little, crashed quite a few time, burst my scrotum once.
They took me to the hospital and had to put the testicle back in.

I'm pretty tame now. :verygood:

plane crash in puerto rico / emergency landing on foamed run way

lost control of car going 110 in Louisiana

5 near death experiences right there
 
i died 3 times after a severe head injury. was on a resperator for 8 days cause i lost the ability to breath on my own.

had a 9mm put to my head cause i was white and they came real close to pulling the trigger.

when i was 2 i was in the car with my mom. a store was on fire on the corner we stopped at for a red light. a cloud was comming towards the car so my mom rolled up the windows. the huge cloud of what was thought to be smoke was a huge swarm of bee's. had my mother not rolled the windows up we would have been stung to death as they flew right on my moms car. talk about you all time "thank you God" situations.
 
Drank a whole fifth of Old Grand Dad Bourbon when I was 17, my last memory from that night was when the bottle was still half full, and I up-ended it, gulp gulp gulp gulp empty. Woke up the next afternoon in a pool of my own vomit.
 
Lost an engine on a flight back to Denver when I was kid, the engine was covered in oil and they moved me from the window seat. we landed with foam and emergency trucks.
Big Sky airlines landing in Sidney, Mont. almost landed wing first on approach.
Got stuck on the 4th pitch of the Bastille crack outside of Boulder waiting for the slow ass climbers ahead of us. Rapped down the side in the dark only to get our rope stuck in a vertical crack and had to solo a 5.11 in the dark to get it unstuck. Rescue team was using a spotlight to find us since our backpacks were still at the bottom.
Couple guns pulled on me in Denver. I was always armed though.
A CAt 398 piston rod missed making a nice hole in my head after the piston cracked and jammed in the cylinder. It went through the jacket wall and outside wall right where my ear was seconds before.
Almost bled to death as a kid getting my tonsils out because the aspirin thinned my blood so badly I had to spend 7 days in the hospital after the surgery.
Quite a few other close calls in the oilfield as well, from metal stairs being dropped on me to elevators smacking me in the melon when my tagline broke free tripping in the hole.
Got diagnosed with leukemia the summer before my senior year which scared the shit out of my parents until further tests proved negative. I was mostly pissed they weren't going to let me play football.
Was roller blading one time down a hill and a car pulled out in front of me, so I tried to hockey stop on concrete, didn't work well, I landed head first right in front of the car as he narrowly swerved out of the way.
Not to mention last summer's rollever accident where we ended up just on the side of the river on my birthday.
I am invincible, apparently.
