    Falling off a horse,
    Falling off the roof of my car
    Falling from a skylight into the dining table.
    Flipping and falling off a quad bike.

    Hmmmm, there seems to be a theme here...

    -Almost being abducted by 2 men as a young child
    -Appendix close to rupturing
    -Fell from the top of a rubgy post right onto the crossbar bit of the H. An inch or 2 to the left and I'd have a rather higher pitched voice, as opposed to a scar on my thigh!
    -trapped in a canoe upside down in a lake, breathing in water through my mouth/ nose.

    My father told of an incident while serving with the Devonshire Regt in Afghanistan in 1923 - Known in those days as 'The Northwest Frontier'.
    Travelling between remote outposts their truck broke down
    many miles from base. With nightfall nearing, the one thing that saved them from certain tragedy at the hands of the Pathan tribesmen assembled in the hills - were signal rockets they were able to fire off to summon assistance.

    9/11.

    Me too. Remember watching it on TV thinking that could've been me had I been in NY.

    I also nearly suffocated once. Was performing cunnilingus on this dame who was obviously enjoying it judging by the noise she was making and pressing my head firmly towards her fanny. I could barely breath. Was scary.

    An electric shock :eek:

    I was trying to fix a broken hair dryer and forgot to switch off at the mains. It was a really frightening experience.
