16, delivering pizzas on L plate moped, in a rush, failed to spot a give way t-junction in a residential area. didn't even slow down.

came out just as a car was passing. slammed the breaks, hit the very back of it, slid and fell off. minor injuries.

2 seconds earlier i would have been on the bonnet.

L plate mopeds crazy idea. teenager came out straight in front of me the other day. didn't even look. dead if i didn't brake.

You guys should learn to swim because it's the easiest thing in the world, all that really has to click is to realise that you'll float anyway if you don't flap about and panic.  Once that fact is confident in a person's mind they're soon merrily swimming around to their heart's content.

Babies can swim, they have no fear.

Fack swimming, keep away from water and there's no problem.

dubai were u close with theheroin?

yeah

Was on my road-bike and unusually had decided to nip into town on it to pick something up (unusual as I'm not the best bike-handler in traffic). I came to a junction where the road splits into three lanes, I needed the middle lane and as the left hand filter was on I knew that I would shortly be getting the green light, so decided not to unclip, just balance. Needless-to-say, I'd misjudged the time it would take to change and, as anyone who has ever fallen in this way will tell you, the first you know about it you're pretty much already down.
I fell into the left-hand filter lane and 'sensed' the bus rather than heard/see it. I sat bolt upright and the front wing brushed my back, the driver never even saw me and had I fallen a split second later I'd've been cut in half. There was a young lad on a moped next to me in my lane and he went into shock and started crying, all he could say was, "I thought you were dead" over and over again.
I was just embarrassed and jumped back on and fooked off sharpish, until about 10 minutes later when I had to have a sit down and a quiet word with myself.

Second " brush " was while I was on Kibbutz in Israel back in 1981, we all had menial tasks to complete each morning &  I was on my way back from grapefruit picking & another guy was in a mini tractor coming down the hill, he was playing silly buggers & was swerving to the left & right but then lost control of the tractor that was heading straight for me, my life flashed in front of me as I started to leap to my right the tractor then jerked over to the right & like a goalkeeper that is going the wrong way from a shot but somehow manages to to change direction I somehow managed to fling myself in the other direction, I felt the tractor tearing past me & I still do not know how it missed me I  sustained no more than cuts & bruises, needless to say his tractor duties were taken off him.

Eerrr no, he was from Peterborough

No

Well, if we're allowed seconds....
I broke my back playing Rugby aged 19 and had surgery the same day. At about 3am the following morning I awoke unable to breathe, this was in the days before all the fancy monitors. I pressed the emergency call button, but as you can imagine they're not rushing around on that shift. After what seemed an age and as I was starting to drift, a large black fella, strolled in, took out his stethoscope listened to my chest then got what looked like a knitting needle and drove it straight between my ribs and started blowing down it. Turned out my lung had collapsed, a couple more minutes and it'd've been Gustavo for me.
Third was getting taken off a dual carriageway at about 80mph by a car that was overtaking me and had a rear onside blowout. Hitting me kept him on the road, I went up the embankment, missing any amount of local large flora, before beginning to spin, making my way back down the embankment, smashing into the central reservation and coming to rest back on the road. The whole thing must've took under 5 seconds, it genuinely felt like a lifetime, I even had time to notice that my phone was bouncing round the cabin of the car and to think that it would probably be fooked! Car was barely recognisable, I didn't have a mark on me. Vorsprung Durch Technik

People regularly "come to life" in morgues. And coffins have been dug up with scratching found on the *inside*. Sweet dreams :)

Once you are dead, you are dead.

There is no coming back from the dead.

Coming back is from 'almost' dead.

I suppose apart from the obvious risks involved with major surgery, it would have to be one day that I went fishing on the Trent on my own. I decided to walk across the weir to reach an unfished spot, part way across it I went straight down this bloody hole and my waders filled up straight away pulling me down. It was only the basket on my back that stopped me going under, I struggled but managed to free myself from the waders and struggle out. Despite not being able to swim I never really panicked which probably helped but god knows how deep that hole must have been.

Defo the last one by me, very early 1980's & was coming back on a clear evening down the mile end road, near Whitechapel, empty road around 11.00pm  doing around 40-45 I would have thought, I was on outside lane of two heading eastbound when my car hit something I remember feeling disorientated & the car landing more than crashing, when I regained my bearings I got out of my car & somehow I was parked against the kerb facing the opposite way I was going.
There were four of us in the car & I  went to the nearest phone box about 150 yards away & called my dad who said he would come as quickly as he could, I put the phone down & started walking to my car when I heard an almighty bang, I looked up & saw a car hit what I had hit 10 minutes earlier, it was a traffic Island which had been smashed to pieces & some of the Island had made its way into the road the car must have hit it & lost control, well this car must have been travelling at speed as it hit the traffic Island & the car took off what must have been 10 feet into the air, unlike my car the this small car did not reach the side of the road where I was but landed in the middle of the other side of the road, as it landed a car going really fast the other way ploughed straight into it, the car disintegrated, it ended up in two pieces about 100 yards apart, in between these two pieces were two men lying in the road, no part of the car was anywhere near them, in fact one was lying in the road & the other bloke was sitting on top of him moaning, within 10 seconds I was at the scene just looking in shock at what was an awful view, a girl in my car then ran up to me & went hysterical & I think within a minute an ambulance went passed & stopped as the London hospital was very close by, the road was closed off for hours, though they did let  my dad through put two new wheels on my car as they had basically been destroyed & drove home early sunday morning at about 10mph.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUSH
