How close was it?
Tried to crash my car into a bridge stanchion, chickened out, tore the mirror off.
When I was a kid I put a yellow cherry pit up my nose while my family and I were on a bus. I remember trying to dig it out, but pushing it deeper every time I did until I started sneezing uncontrollably. By this point I was crying, but it was so far up that nobody could see it and thought I was lying. The bus driver stopped doing his route and took us to the nearest hospital. They were able to find it and 3 nurses held me down while the doctor stuck some medical pliers up my nose to pull it out. After wards the doctor said that had it been 1 centimeter deeper I would have asphyxiated to death and yelled at my parents for letting me have small object.
How can putting something up your nose asphyxiate you? It can’t block the airways, right? It would have to get to you through.
I was shot with an rocket propelled grenade once.
Broken neck and back riding a bicycle (roadie/amateur racer) into two SUVs that were crashing in front of me. I took a 30mph hit directly to my head with nearly the entire force of my body into my forehead. As a reference, at sea level, a person diving from a ten story building would have a similar velocity hitting the ground head first. I was told I only survived because I was initially unconscious for 3 hours as the damage to C1 and the base of my skull would have been fatal if I had moved substantially before the swelling had time to build pressure.
I was in ICU for two weeks with 3 days on critical round the clock watch. I don’t care to talk about it because 10 years later I’m still disabled, but thanks for the shit comment
I have not seen myself closed enough until now. Just think that could be anytime and anywhere but nothing has really frightened me.
For everyone who thinks they were never that close it was probably while driving or crossing the street. It just takes one distracted driver and you’re passing thousands of them.
