    Ninja motorcycle doing 90+ racing some guy in a car down the highway. Took my hands off the handlebars to wave at him before I let it go full on ~120mph. I almost flew off the bike clawing my way back up to the bars by hugging the tank.

    Same motorcycle was going about 70 on a 30mph road this POS pulls out from a left side street blocking me (too late for full brakes) another car comming in the other lane. I passed them both on the middle line nearly having a heart attack as I tried to break but could not avoid a collision with the car that pulled out in front of me so went between them.

    I have a few more.

    I tend to avoid putting myself in situations where I'm close to death. I play it safe, and avoid bungee jumping, mountain climbing, skiing, and driving down the highway on a Ninja motorcycle doing 90.

    I value my life, and I tend to avoid taking needless risks....

    As a kid didn't knew to swim and slipped in the pool. Hadn't been for some good samaritan - you would not be reading this. Since then - never once! Knock on wood!

    Close to death? Never really had an accident that would put me in such a situation.
    Stupidest thing I've ever done that could have PUT me in a near death situation? Doing 160 on a friends motorbike, on a small country road.

    My friend almost shot me? Does that count??? He forgot that after he shoots the next bullet goes in by its self you dont have to pull it. Guess what he was waving it at me thinking the bullet was still in the thing what ever its called. And then he shot and missed my leg by a couple of inches. Idiot.

    - Prilep :D

    About a month ago I was with a friend who has bald tires and we were going down a straight road. There was a truck in front of us and we were on his rear for about 5 miles, he slowed down and we passed. There was a spot on the road where the snow was blowing over and we couldnt see anything. Next thing we knew it we were spinning, we did three 360s. My friend managed to stay on the road but we were going 60 and if we had rolled into the ditch or going any slower the truck behind us would have hit us (probably me since we were sliding sideways for a while and I was facing the truck). I thought for sure we were going to die.

    Had a knife put to my neck during a armed robbery.

    Almost got run over crossing a road near a mountain, had to jump on the roof of my car.

    Been in so many close call accidents here in Pakistan its not even funny.

    And I once had a really scary looking dog chase me for a few blocks.

    Out of all of this the time when I was most scared was with the dog.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to mention in my last post that about two years ago, me and a friend were driving to Jack in the Box at night. I was getting ready to turn on the street to go to the restaurants, and my friend suddenly starts yelling for me to stop, because a Black SUV was coming towards us going in the opposite direction.

    It was dark, and I couldn't see the SUV, but I slammed on breaks when I heard my buddy yelling. If that SUV hit us, OMFG........my Nissan Maxima would not have had a chance...and we might have both been killed.

    Needless to say, even though I've never been in an accident, I'm not that good of a driver, so I don't drive.

    I was camping with my friends in the woods, and as you know where the fire blows out.. and you don't have any more wood to burn... All kinds of animals start to get around you. Especially if you were barbecuing. :D

    So we had about 10 wolfs standing around US in a circle....

    So we burned everything we had, our camp, our sleeping bags... To keep the wolfs away until the light came out.. and they somehow disspear....

    Looks like I wasn't meant to die that night. :cool:

    The closest i have come to death was last weekend. I was chased by a baby caterpillar around the house and to make it worse i fell asleep that night and when i woke up it was under my door stalking me.

    A car was backing up from its driveway, and I just happened to be walking right past it. The driver, who was actually a female police officer, didn't check her mirror or look back, and was about a foot away from hitting me. Luckily, I ran out of the way at the last moment.

    It was only then that she saw me. :p
