Near Death Experiences
Last time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

I nearly fell off a cliff,
was jumping over a fence to get to the grassy bit on the edge we used to sit on; only, being the spacker I am, I forgot to "pull my legs up", and basically ran into the fence, flipped over it, and nearly rolled off the edge :(
I shall post other stories when I remember them; most involve buses (I've been hit by one, cycled into one, and fell out of one), oh and the time I electrocuted myself on the back of our old telly - my arm wasn't quite "right" for a while.
I've been hit in the face full pelt with a cricket-ball, knocked me over and knocked my front teeth out (baby teeth, I have new ones now ^.^), been strangled to the point of things going reddy/black/small
Most my nearly-dying experiences involve my bike though, as only the front-wheel brakes work. And if I push them too hard I go over the handlebars, so I have to anticipate things - only, I'm shit at that. Today I nearly got hit by a van, and a bus pulled out on me, and I nearly fell into a bush at some traffic lights - but I probably wouldn't have died on the last one.
