What's the scariest thing that has happened to you? Have you had a near death experience?

As a child I was walking on an icy sidewalk with my grandpa, and right when a huge Jeep approached us, I slipped on the ice, and almost fell under the oncoming car. My grandpa somehow managed to grab me very fast, and I didn't end up smashed under the car It was traumatizing. Life is so fragile

I almost burnt my niece.

My roommate's boyfriend came to the apartment with a Golf Club after they had a fight, and destroyed our door and french window.

I was traumatized.

I don't think it's a nice combination. You might get sick, beware

Oh no

the time i almost got caught stealing books at barns and noble.

I rear ended a cop car

I convinced him it was his fault tho

In January 2015, there was a confusion with who was picking me up from school. My mom's boyfriend was supposed to pick me up from school, but he parked in the wrong area. I had no idea he was there.
This family used to take my sister and I home from school when I was a freshman, but their car broke down the day before or something, so they were unable to take me home.
Then one of the family members who used to pick me up told me my mom was on her way from work to pick me up. She had no plans to pick me up.
Basically after waiting a while, no one was there to pick me up It was so cold out, I had super dry skin on my hands for weeks afterwards. Then when it started to snow a little bit, I went inside a restaurant that was across the street to wait in. I had to go to the bathroom so bad and this guy was in there for too long, ended up peeing my pants a little bit Then after waiting so long, my mom eventually showed up. She was so devastated and in tears when she finally found me. She reported me as missing and everything.
I didn't end up getting home from school until 4:30, all because I was told my mom was coming when she wasn't.
It was so scary.

I travelled 170 miles to London to go on a date w a guy, I told no one I was going bc I was closeted. My train tickets were on an app on my phone and by the time I got there my battery was at 20%, so I figured I'd turn my phone off when I met the guy and just turn it back on at the end to get my tickets. Problem arises when it turns out we got the meet-up spot mixed up so he didn't know where I was .. I sent him a picture of what was in front of me then my phone died .. It went from 17% to 0% in seconds I HATE apple batteries. So I was in London, no one knew I was there, no money, no date, stranded 170 miles from home .. I was FREAKING OUT !I was tearing up in public about to have the first panic attack of my LIFE ! About 10 mins later I was heading back to the station to see if anyone there would let me lend their charger .. when I heard "are you lost?" behind me .. and WHEW ! it was my date .. I've never felt so scared and relieved in my entire life

If my date hadn't found me i really don't know what I would've done ..

When I was maybe 5 I was swimming in my cousin's pool, but I slipped out of my floatie and started drowning. No one was around to help me and I remember hearing the Jaws theme song in my head for some reason. I really thought I was gonna die, but somehow, I was able to propel myself to the edge of the pool and climb out.

I've had a naked, deranged homeless man come straight at me with an axe in hand in the mountains when I found him squatting in a tent on my family's private property. The nearest person/house was miles away. He didn't like that he was being asked to remove himself from the property and, I guess, wanted to go out with a bang. #Don'tMessWithTexas

I was robbed and taken out of my car with a magnum to my head last december.

Omg. You're lucky. That could've been a lot worse. That totally sounds like something that would happen to me though, since I always forget to charge my phone / bring a charger.

When i was 10 i put those arm floaties on my ankles thinking i would be able to walk on water 💀 I ended up upsidown trying to pull myself back up. Idk how i did it no one was around too 💀

Reminded me of when I was in San Francisco's Little Italy (safe) neighborhood in day light
And a deranged homeless person ran to me with a broken glass bottle screaming "I'm going to kill you!"

Truly a Magikarp experience.

But seriously I'm glad you got out!

not really scary but losing my grandpa e grandmom
