Wasn't sure where to put this, but Philosophy seemed relevant. Mods, feel free to move this anywhere.
So how many times have you come REALLY CLOSE to dying? How you define "really close" is entirely up to you.
Me:
I've ODed twice for sure, probably several other times. The 2 I'm certain about both involved pentobarbital + other drugs. Was found quite by accident both times, came to several days later in ICU on a ventilator.
I was in 3 car crashes that should have been fatal, all alcohol-related. I was driving (and alone) in one: MG Midget convertable, top down, no roll bar, not wearing seat belt. Flipped it. No injuries whatsoever. Yeah, I know. How is that possible? I dunno.
I was shot at from 20-30 feet away with a .38 caliber pistol. He missed.
Once I was drunk and suicidal so I laid down on RR tracks. The train was running late that night and I got tired (and thirsty) of waiting so I went and got some beer. Passed out before I got back to the tracks.
I have more, but I'd like to hear from other folks.
