Near Death ExperiencesLast 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?

Stupid kids, stupid parentsMy friend and I were walking along the near-empty corridor in the upper level of a shopping mall, and saw a boy probably about 3 1/2, playing alone by the railing overlooking the lower level. He climbed the railing, peered over the top, and started to tip over. I have never moved so quickly in my life! I dashed over, grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back, putting him on the floor. He looked at me for a moment, I thoughthe was going to cry, but then he just ran into the nearest store where, presumably, his oblivious mother was looking at glass baubles and trinkets while her son tried to kill himself.
Since then (this happened in 1999) I still have a fear of heights and panic when I see people sitting on or leaning over railings.
