So far I've had four experiences where I've come very close to losing my life.
And I'm only 16.
Evened out, this equates to 1 brush with death every 4 years.
Here they are:
-First-
Two years old. I had reached the dreaded toddler stage.
In my vast explorations of my house I found a 600ml bottle of 'Orange Flavour' Paracetamol in the fridge.
I drank most of it.
The result was an ambulance ride to the hospital and a dose of some delightful stuff called Ipecac.
More info on Ipecac here - http://www.utmb.edu/setpc/ipecac.htm
-Second-
Sometime after my chance meeting with Mr. Paracetamol I managed to get into the medicine cabinet in the bathroom.
I was quite the crafty barstard in doing so.
Firstly I managed to get the childproof lock off the door.
Then I pushed a chair into the bathroom and up to the sink.
Then I got a bucket and put it in the sink so I could reach the cabinet.
That's where I met Mr. Paracetamol's good friends - Mr. Morphine and Mrs. Anti-depressant. (These were in the house because a flatmate of ours had chronic back problems and was suffering from a mild case of depression)
And that's how I got to have my second ambulance ride and another taste of Ipecac.
-Third-
At age three I fell down a twelve foot ladder.
Headfirst.
I suffered one broken wrist, concussion and was comatose for three days, there was a good chance of me dying.
But I didn't.
-Fourth-
This happened about a year ago while I was in Australia on holiday. My father, step-mum, her daughter and I were in the car. We were heading down from the Gold Coast to Sydney to meet some relatives and do some sightseeing.
Now, if you've driven down the east coast of Australia you've probably seen the big signs saying "Stop every half hour and have a stretch and a drink of water". This is because a large amount of motorists fall asleep at the wheel because of the oppresive heat.
We had stopped 15 mins earlier and had ice cream and drinks at a little roadside cafe. As we were driving along my dad turned the stereo off to let us sleep, as we still had around three hours of the trip left to go.
I had just drifted off when the car tipped sideways.
I looked out the window to see gravel, dirt and other bits of random shit flying past.
Then there was an almighty bang as the car hit the huge steel-reinforced culvert in the ditch running alongside of the road
To cut a long story short my stupid ass dad had fallen asleep.
We ended up getting airlifted to New Castle hopsital where we were diagnosed with nothing worse than burises.
A seatbelt saved my life that day.

Anyway, if you've had a brush with death or almost seen the light (Or burning shades of hell, Fetish) then share your experiences.

I got so gypped. I died for a good few minutes and I saw NO white light, no choir of angles, no nothing.
I got a three week coma, a scar on my throat, and an inability to focus on more than one thing at a time. (That's getting better; still, don't talk to me when I'm driving unless you want your life to be brief and full of incident.)
Not even a lousy T-shirt. There should be a T-shirt, at least.

I was about 4 when I saw the Superman movie. After the movie I went to a tree that had a rope hung in it my older siblings would use to put their hands in and swing on it. I climbed the tree, put the rope around my neck and jumped. Luckily my Dad was in the garden and he said he heard me gasping. Needless to say in those days(early 80's) you got spanked if you almost killed yourself!

I have stood just on this side of the bottomless gulf that is death and peered in a few times while on hallucinogenic drugs, and it was cold and dark and primal and void of anything at all...
Screw the T-shirt! They didn't even have milk, cookies, ......or consciousness for that matter.

You were quite the lemming when you were little.

Dingo. Ha. One time I was chasing someone down an alley and he turned around and tried to shoot me. But that wasn't my dad's fault.

I've had over 12,775 near death experiences. That's at least one for every day that I've lived. Most of them were self-induced. Imagine.

It sounds like most of your experiences came when you were a baby. This is further proof that babies need extermination.
