Meh I did that a couple times. It was fun. I got hypo once. Don't ask. (And it's not Christmas anymore, Shivari) |

I'm planning to keep this up all year, and then take it off the day after Thanksgiving, just to spite everyone. (I'm actually getting around to getting a new avatar.) |

Okay. Just making sure you knew. And I had to make sure you didn't end up like those people who live their Christmas lights up till July. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1193 Joined: 16 Nov 2008   | Was on the freeway when i got into a car accident in a friends car, some moron hit us from the back and we spun out hit the wall and then slid to the other side of the freeway without anyone hitting us. I think that is the best time my luck ever came through. |

But if you had red, white, and blue lights than you'd be all set! |

Only if you live in America. And I see that. You changed your avatar when you thought I wasn't looking. How sneaky of you! |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 895 Joined: 30 Dec 2008    | i was in a bus crash sitting in the front seat, my friend almost flipped out of his seat through the front window, one of my legs went through one side of the wooden/plastic thing covering the stairs and my other leg was on the other side of it, the metal pole holding it all together was at least 1 inch away from my "private area", that was close... i only had a massive 3 inch gash down my leg but it could have been worse... |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 114 Joined: 10 Aug 2008     | This is more of an odd story than luck. I have tendinitis in both of my knees as well as Azhgudshlaughter, or however you spell that. I was walking out of my room and my left leg collapsed as I put all of my weight on it. I fell over and cut the side of my face on the desk and couldn't get back up because of my leg. My leg got better within 5 minutes but I guess I was lucky I didn't smash my face in or blow out my knee. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 94 Joined: 31 May 2008   | When I was 5, I passed out at a birthday party and bashed my head open, I was rushed to Hershey Medical and given a CAT scan (I think?). Luckily, when they took it they saw an abnormality with my chest. They took an echo-cardiogram and diagnosed me with an overgrowth of muscle tissue in the left ventricle of my heart. If I had gone undiagnosed and I hadn't received the immediate and necessary surgery from the fine folks at Hershey, I would've died within a month. This is really cool, it seems like a lot of others have had close calls too. |

Yeah, i've nearly done that too. My parents didn't look that flustered. 'Just let it melt' Also to add, i was on an American Airlines plane, might even be same flight number, same plane type, flying from New York, early morning, on the 4th September. |

I had none of the above. So I'm pretty lucky. There's a picture of me when I was 4, ducking under the railing somewhere along the edge of the Grand Canyon, in winter, about to climb down the slippery slope leading to the cliff to get a better look. If that's the sort of thing you were thinking of. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 619 Joined: 27 Nov 2008    | My laziness saved my life. I was crossing the street to get the mail, and after grabbing it, I looked left (no cars there), then right. Lots of cars were coming from the right, and I waited ages for the line to end. Then, instead of running back up to my house like I often do when it's as cold as it was that day, I felt like being lazy and walking. I suddenly saw something out of the corner of my eye, and dove backwards, literally an inch away from being hit by a huge truck (damn thing was going at 60 mph when my road's speed limit is 30, though it was also my fault for not looking left again after looking right for so long). I heard a horn and the sound of burning rubber, and saw it pull to a stop well past where I had been. If I had taken a longer step across the road, I would definitely not have been able to dive out of the way in time. |

What were you doing going 90mph? My close call: I almost got in a fight with a drunk Chinese guy at a massage parlor in China. |

BANNED  Posts: 1590 Joined: 5 May 2008  | Mine isn't as dramatic as some of yours, but When I had my son, I ended up in the ER because he got caught on my pelvis. After giving me 3 ITN's, Vein Pain Killers, and an Epi, they took me to Surgery and strapped me down. The Doctor had to smack me twice to get me to start breathing again because I tried to stop on him. My cheek was a little sore but I was glad he had the nerve to startle me into Breathing again.

It's not worth the effort to disembowel a teenager. The meat is too stringy. Orphans on the other hand... |
