Near death situations

[Mass Distraction]

Hmm, let's see...

Back in school I was once thrown into a pool because everyone thought I was lying about not being able to swim. It took them a while before they realized I wasn't joking.

Then there was this time when I was a kid and trying to retrieve a football. I stepped into quicksand and was there neck deep before my mom came and pulled me up.

I've also crashed my car through the railing of a bridge. Luckily I didn't fly into the frozen river, the car smashed right beside it with only the right front corner being under water. Still have the same car, by the way.

Oh yeah, and I crashed my moped back when I was 15. Twice. The first time I was trying to do a quick corner on a sandy road, had to dodge the van that came in from said corner and ended up flying from the nearby ditch like it was a ramp. The moped landed a feet or so from me, nothing else really happened and I laughed it off while driving away. The next time I did get hurt, as I crashed into a ditch full of rocks due to sand on a curve. My friends who saw it told me that I almost smashed my head to a streetlight. Broke my left arm and still have scars all over my body.

The rest are propably just me almost getting run over and twice when I fell asleep while driving my work van. The other time the car just stopped, the other it stopped but not before smashing into a tree stump at like 10 miles an hour. None of these really of much concern but they could have ended up badly.


On a related note, there are at least two occasions when people have thought that I have died.
