when i was little i had a can a coke and i put it down so cud go play football. Came back to it and drank sum, and partially swallowed the wasp tht was in my can. it got lodged in my wind pipe and continue to sting me. Cudnt breathe and soon passed out. The paramedic had to cut my wind pipe open just below where the wasp was so air cud pass in and out via the tube. Still have the scar now  |

Hit by a car aged 15 whilst riding to school, by pure luck I survived with almost no injuries , however it could all have been so different .
The point of impact with the car was the pedal and the bumper of the car (it was travelling at about 35-40mph) . The impact threw me onto the bonnet of the car.
however had the pedal been at a different height it could have been very different. If the pedal had been lower , my feet and leg would have below the bumper and I would have gone under the car , had the pedal been higher the impact would have been to a different point of the bike and could easily have forced the bike over the opposite way .
Once on the bonnet of the car , i was effectively in a barrel rool, it went earth sky, earth sky .... THUD . the thud was my back going through the car windscreen , the car windscreen was caved in . Thankfully i was wearing a school bag on my back which had some thick text books and such like in it, these cushined the impact and protected my spine . Unfortunatly now the car was decelerating rapidly with me on the bonnet , the Sky, earth sky earth bit happened again, and I fell off the bonnet of the car and landed in front of it ...... just as it stopped .
A few seconds after the impact my push bike crashed back down to earth a few feet from my protsrate body on the floor , I am told after the impact it was thrown 15-20ft into the air , smashed down onto the roof of the vehicle whilst i was still on the bonnet and the bounced up again before its final impact a few feet away .
The bike was a write off, it was a Brand new Mountain Bike, I had had it 13 days , the Car a few years old Ford escort sustained £1800 of damage. I walked away with a cricked neck and a few bits of glass stuck to my back .
Still got taken to hospital , a doctor in the traffic jam had witnessed the accident and was going to drive me home, but when an ambulance turned up, the paramedics couldn't believe the damage done to the car and that i was still standing so took me to hopital to be on the safe side .
i rode my luck that day (pun intended) i really shouldn't have walked away from that

You'd think that they'd have been able to spot you from a mile off with that belisha-beacon-esque auburn head of hair of yours... Unless they meant to hit you. |

You'd think that they'd have been able to spot you from a mile off with that belisha-beacon-esque auburn head of hair of yours... Unless they meant to hit you. school run mum in a hurry over taking a line of traffic waiting for the lights by the Mr. Kipling factory , I was just crossing the road after coming through lyme valley on my way upto clayton high . Looked both ways came out between the stationary traffic as couldn't see anything moving, she was running late and didn't want to queue so overtook a traffic jam as she was taking a right at the lights , most were going left . wasn't till it was too late that i saw the movement in my periferal vision, think she tried to swerve , but swerved towards where i was heading , good job i didn't do an emergency stop as I'd have probably gone over the handle bars straight into her path . my instinct said keep peddaling and faster , just get the fuck out of her path ... it didn't work. even the dayglow hair dont work all the time, but its a great response when in areas I need a high vis jacket at work .... wheres your hi vis jackett.... don;t need one mate, got high vis hair |

rmb72....I'm not so much overweight....but probably 2'foot 3" inches short in terms of height.
I can swim but it wasn't easy in a raging torrent and with a heavy basket draped around my neck.

Mine Was Falling down the stairs back wards from the top which resulted in me having a dislocated finger an falling through my mates ceiling when I was re-insulating his loft which resulted in having badly bruised ribs, both of which could have ended very differently.

It's a long time ago now but I was knocked down by a motorbike when I was a kid. I think I was about nine, still at Primary School and my mate Peter Matchett and I decided that we would walk home a slightly different way which avoided the Lollypop Man Mr Peters. Next thing I know I woke up in an ambulance but not for long. The next time I woke up I was in the Brook Hospital on Shooters Hill near Greenwich. I'm told that I stepped out into the road, obviously without looking, and was knocked down by this motorbike. I landed on my head and ended up having three stitches. My mate Peter ran all the way home to tell my Mum and both she and my Dad were there when I woke in hospital. I screamed blue murder that I wasn't going to stay there overnight. Wow, that's nearly 40 years ago, strange how your memory works. The one funny (peculiar) thing I will always remember is that the guy on the motorbike broke his collar bone. His name was Stephen Tye. Tye... Collar...  I'm not sure if you can count this as near death but it's certainly the closest I've been and it could have been so much worse. |

my old car skidded on the A34 near Oxford one night, it just kept on spinning and I thought "this is it" the near side finally hit the reservation and i was facing the wrong way, no injuries to me just a few smashes on the car.
The engine fired up first time and I trundled to my lodgings

was climbing/abseiling down an icy/rocky gully in the alsp one evening after a long days moutaineering. About half way down, the whole bloody mountain starts to shake and rumble. rocks started peltering down our gully. We (two of us) made a run for the biggest boulder we could find, and crouched in the foetal position with our backpacks over our heads/necks. Once the mountain stopped moving we mnust have made a world record descent.
Turned out to be an earthquake, in which they had evacuated all the schools in the valley below.

mine was getting chucked in front of a train during a scrap with some turks on an underground station in Germany.
'had been drinking poceen all evening and as we staggered to get the last train home a few of us somehow got tangled up with a gang of turks. I got knocked off the platform on to the tracks and scrambled to my feet only to see a train pulling in from the tunnel. Problem was the force of the blow and the days drinking had completely knocked the stuffing out of me and I just couldn't find the strength to haul myself back on to the platform. Cue a time slowing down moment...could see my mate screaming at me to get out of the way but couldn't seem to hear his voice. In the nick of time the lad who'd lamped me grabbed hold of me and pulled me back on to the platform. The train swept by about 5 seconds later.
Makes me feel a bit sick even thinking about it now...the stupidity of the whole situation...thank fook I'm past all that shit nowadays.
