What are your non-suicidal related, near death encounters of your past?

I could have for sure long arrived at my final destination.

- I cut a power cable with a scissor (which had plastic grips)
- Put my finger into a distribution board where the overhead line attaches to, got a massive electric shock
- Climbed out a window on the 8th floor being totally drunk on a school trip, could have slipped easily
- Had a mountain bike accident shattering the helmet and breaking my collar bone
- Got hit twice by a car on my bicycle
- Was pushed down a slope into a canyon, 25 meters, ripped only an ear apart
- A black widow spider next to my bed
- A concrete, 4kg heavy birdhouse fell from 5 meters on my head, not even breaking my nose

The only one that really sticks in my mind is almost drowning in my aunt's pool at age 7 after slipping in the deep end. The only ppl around were some of my cousins who were around my age who also didn't know how to swim. I only survived because i clung onto this vacume looking tube in the pool which my cousins used to pull me up. I don't even remember grabbing it. It was like my mind went blank after falling in.

Huh, I had a similar story when I was 10. I was at the public pool with some friends. I got tired of swimming in the shallow end and decided to go near the deep end like my friends. However, I guess I wasn't a very strong swimmer and ended up in distress. I survived by clinging onto a pool divider like a sloth would. I don't know how the lifeguard didn't notice a kid about to drown, but at least he helped me up once he noticed.
