davieG Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 What was it? Mine was when on Viccy Park many years ago with some mates. As I stood, with my legs slightly astride talking to them a Javelin landed about a foot in front of me having passed between my feet from behind. :w00t: but I'm sure there's many on here that have been nearer.

Nearly been run over a few times!! My brother once had an arguement, he chucked a knife at me and luckily the handle side hit me on my forehead!!

Hate to burst your bubble but that's merely coincidence as opposed to an NDE. A close shave
Matt Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 Took a roundabout fast too once, when the roads were wet and greasy, sure I had the car on 2 wheels heading towards a power plant. Luckly corrected it and didn't get thrown of the road or anything.

lou Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 My Ex knew some very dodgy characters when I was with him years ago. Once he had a Yardie guy he knew in the back of the car, I was in the drivers seat. He took a handgun out and was waving it around showing it off. Took the safety catch off and pointed it in my direction, thinking it was amusing! I dont mind admitting I nearly died of fright. Thankfully the moron got deported a few months later. Ive had a couple of others that Im not about to divulge on a public forum. I had a very interesting life years ago, most of it not good.
hairy Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I once dodged a bullet in a drive by shooting. Thurmaston is a dangerous place
Guest Bilo Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I nearly got hit by a bus in Livorno once after a few workmates and I had been out for a few drinks. I had some random Italian woman screaming at me, and my workmates couldn't work out how the hell I'd managed to avoid impact. My speed of movement was heroic for one so drunk.
Wycombe Fox Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I swallowed my tongue in my sleep when I was eleven. Luckily my parents heard me choking which woke them up. Unluckily I had lock-jaw at the same time so my Dad couldn't put his hand down my throat to get my tongue back. I remember waking up choking, fitting and just lying there convulsing whilst all this noise was going on. My parents were screaming and shouting and then all of a sudden it was total calm in my head and body. There was no more noise. I was on my way to an early grave - tunnel of swirling rainbow colours with an small bright light in the distance that got bigger as I got closer. It was so peaceful. All of a sudden I was awake on my bed with my parents crying and my Dad nursing a bleeding finger where I'd bitten through as he forced my mouth open. He still has the scar. The doctor had turned up by this time. Apparently I'd stopped breathing. My eyes are welling-up as I type because I know how close I was to death. I can't watch programmes on telly about NDE's. Don't ask me to explain the tunnel of colours with the bright light at the end - I can't. It was so weird. The transition from total and utter fear and panic whilst choking to total peace is hard to explain. It's never happened again.

Hitesh Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 Nothing major, just a few close shave incidents where I have nearly been run over.
Zingari Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 i spent a rainy july fortnight in a caravan at ingolmells with my in-laws in the 70's
Dr The Singh Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 i spent a rainy july fortnight in a caravan at ingolmells with my in-laws in the 70's I can imagine spending an hour couped up in a place with you, would drive someone to murder........................
The Birch Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I had a brain tumour when I was 15. I owe my life to the expertise of the surgeons. Being wheeled down to the operating theatre knowing that they were about to cut my head open and I didnt know how I would come out of it was the scariest thing ever.
Asha Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I was seconds away from death when I was 5. Had a severe asthma attack and I couldn't breathe at all. I was upstairs supposed to be asleep and was on my own, parents downstairs. Luckily there was this student who rented a room upstairs, heard me struggling to breathe and rang the ambulance etc. I can remember the doctor telling my parents I was unlikely to survive the night as they stuck various tubes in etc. But here I am. I can't recall any bright lights etc but like someone said, being taken into an operating room and realising you might not make it is the scariest feeling ever, even when I was such a young age. The horriyfing thing about having asthma as bad as mine, is if I'm out somewhere and start suffering an attack and my inhaler isn't with me, i've got about two minutes.
DB11 Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 Nope. Don't want one either. Though I was shitting it at the end of the Tottenham game when we won 3-2.

Never heard that before and I must have been to 50+ appointments at the hospital regarding my asthma now, and they haven't really said anything. Anything I can do in those severe situations that can even just be a stall is a great help.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 Almost got run over by a moped in Paris. The relief was tempered somewhat by the furious volley of abuse I got from the Frenchman sat atop said moped.
Webbo Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I was hit by a car when I was 12 and thrown forward. It's true what they say about your life flashing before you, not that there was a lot to see at only 12.
jonno24 Posted 20 July 2009 Posted 20 July 2009 I have had a NDE I was 21 and got run over by a car on my way to work considering i was on the pavement and the driver had decided to drive pissed the outcome was inevitable it was on morrisons island in coalville all i remember was for some reason jumping up at the last second somehow expecting to jump the oncoming car . i was thrown onto the windscreen over the car and landed about 10 yards away in the middle of the road not wanting to move incase i felt pain i had never felt before i was lying there for a good 5 minutes until another car came past who luckily phoned an ambulance straight away. I suffered a broken leg,broken ribs,punctured lung and various lascerations on my left leg which to this day is painfull. While i was at the hospital i suffered a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) caused by the crash and for about 4 months was unable to remember how to do everyday things like make toast,run a bath,make a cup of tea etc these things were a genuine mystery to me even tho i had done them thausands of times before.
