Ever have a near death experience?

[steph]

Two, for me. One surfing (caught in a riptide) the other, a car accident four years ago.

Anyone else?

XOXO

I've had a great many strange experiences, but not an OOBE/NDE. Want to PM me Steph, or chat on Yahoo? I expect there's a lot we'd have to talk about.

[BigJim]

Hang on a sec, are we talking about experiences that nearly result in death, or experiences where while unconscious, we experience existence outside the body?

Love to! By the way, the question could apply to either experience...

When I was about 17, I was driving my car and went over a HUGE pothole. The next ting I know I hear a big thud and a dragging noise coming from the back. When I got to a stop light. The driver in the car stopped next to me told me may gas tank was dragging along the road. I pulled over immediately.

Thinking back I could have been killed if a spark flew from the friction of the road which would have caused an explosion. I was very very lucky to get out alive

Okay, if we're talking about close escapes from death...


1/ Shorting out an entire street when I was 4, levering a plug from the socket with a screwdriver. Good thing the handle was plastic.

2/ Getting hit by an undercover police car when I was 5.

3/ Falling 60 feet from a tree when I was 8, compressing all the disks in my spine and losing two inches in height, breaking my neck and having 95% surface contusions.

My goodness, Lime! 😉 What were you thinking?

1) Head on collision with a guy who lost control in front of me on a busy freeway, that was a scary one

2) After a night of partying at the cottage, dove head first off the dock and smacked my head into a log 🙄

3) Once again, at the cottage, a bunch of us were walking along the train tracks and had to cross the bridge... ofcourse a train was coming as we were about 3/4's of the way across! I swear, it was a scene right out of 'Stand By Me', LOL!!

On second thought Lime, I wasn't too swift either 😉 😀

 

[TicklishSinner]

when i was 2 years old, i had a fever of 106 degrees. the doctors weren't able to get it down quickly enough, so they immersed me in a bathtub filled with cold water and ice.


when i was about 7 years old i had wondered onto a set of train tracks in the countryside.

when i was finally taken to safety, i was told that it was miraculous i hadn't stepped on the electrified third-rail.


and some years ago i was one of numerous vehicles that was trying to slow down on a sheet of ice, hoping to avoid the overturned tractor trailer ahead. i hit the brakes; pumped the brakes, etc. finally, while sliding dangerously toward the trailer, i literally lifted my hands from the wheel; stopped touching the brakes; and said "its up to you God". would you believe the car miraculously stopped short of hitting the truck? looking back i realize that God kept me from harm so that i could later come to faith in Christ and be saved.

I work for an inner city animal shelter in D.C., and have had several experiences associated with that. The scariest I've ever had involved a 100lb pit bull who decided that he didn't like having a muzzle put on, and went after myself and a co-worker. We escaped unscathed, but I've never been so sure I was about to die in all my life.

 

[SmileyTkls]

Let's see, just a few: 1) A few days after I was born, I developed jaundice and could have died, even with a total transfusion, but it thankfully reversed itself, 2) I was in an accident when I was 16, broke my right leg and gave me lots of cuts and a concussion, but not fatal even after hitting a tree and telephone pole, totalling the Blazer, 3) A year later, on the way to rehab for the leg, the replacement Blazer skidded on some gravel around a turn, flipping the car over. I thankfully landed in a ditch, preventing the ceiling from caving in, and also there was no overflow of water in the ditch from the river next to it. Amazing I made it out of my teens. LOL.

Interesting, yet boring point..... (I'm full of em! Heh heh.)

As someone who's recently been trained as a dog handler at the Defence Animal Centre, I've learned a few things that I found quite curious. If I ever had to set my dog on an intruder or a criminal, I should get to him and order him to drop weapons etc in the first five seconds. Humans have an in-built, archaic fear of hairy bastards with big teeth. In that first five seconds the shock of having 90lbs of German Shepherd dangling from his arm is going to make him stand on his head and wave his knickers in the air if I asked him to. But after five seconds, the adrenaline kicks in, and then the dog is going to suffer badly. A fully grown man is at least twice the weight of a fully grown guard dog and many time more stong. The only physical advantage a dog has is speed and bite strength. Well you're not running, you're fighting, so speed makes no odds. And if you accept that you're gonna get chewed and it's gonna hurt, the dog is at a massive disadvantage. It would take something the size of a mastiff, tosa or a particularly big rottweiller to tip the scales slightly.


Okay, enough boring off-topic shite. I'll mind my own business for a bit. 😀

i had a botched medical procedure a few years ago in which ihad a really bad reaciton to medicine an was seriously ill for months afterwards, i reamamber a lot of the time thinkin, rite, this is it..im going............that wasnt nice!lol

 

[BigJim]

Actually, to be fair to what Bulldogge said, the Pit Bull Terrier is the Norman Bates of the canine world. You'd be hard pushed to find one more than 70 lb in weight, but they occasionally hae something in their heads that makes them just not give a shit about physical damage. Break all it's legs and it'll still hold on to it's target. You'd have to quite literally smash it's fucking teeth out, or break it's jaw. (Or even better, cave it's skull in.) And coming from someone like me who loves dogs so much it hurts, that shows you how bad the PBT is capable of being.

Don't share this experience much,happened ten years ago,but still have a nightmare about it if I have stressful days.Was working late night shift at an Arby's in Oklahoma City.Took out the trash as I came out from behind dumpster was confronted by two men with 357 revolvers.The light just shined off of those pistols.They grabbed me and walked me to the back door I rang the bell to get back in and as the manager opened it they shoved me inside and forced there way in.

One gut took the manager to the office,while the other guy took myself and the young cashier to the walkin.He had us lay down on the floor next to each other.Then,he stood over the top of us.He shoved that revolver in the back of my head.Then,he say's How's it feel to know that this is your last day on the planet.We layed there which seemed like hours,which in reality was only 15 minutes.

Then,the door opened and his buddy brought the manager in.I remember as if it was yesterday,him cocking that gun.I just layed there and waited.Then,I hear,hey let's go.And then I hear him uncock that gun.He bent down and said,This is your lucky day.They,backed out of the walking,shut the light off.We waited for awhile went out they were gone.

I am 47 and I have never again in my whole life ever been that scared.The police came we gave statements.The manager said I could be off the next day.Well,gee thanks I thought.I went to my apartment,and rolled up a whole bag of weed and proceeded to smoke myself into a comma.I relived that night for six months straight dreaming,sometimes I lived and other times he blew my head off.Don't dream about it much anymore and rarely talk about it.Just thought I would share.
