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?

First Cut is the DeepestIn the summer holidays my brother and I decided to have a sword fight(as you do) when I was about 8 and he was 12.
We each had our weapons, him a bread knife, me a two inch penknife. The time for the duel arrived and we each took five paces away from each other.
My brother being the cad that he was made the first move by brandishing his 'sword' at me and as he did this I panicked and mangaed to stab myself in the neck with my multi-tool missing my jugular vein by about 2mm.
Hence panic, spurting blood and running to a neighbours house claiming that my brother was giving me a piggy back and I fell onto the corner of the table...don't think the neighbour fell for it.
Not so much a near-death experience but for an 8 yr old it was the closest I had got!!!
Did I mention by the way that my brother and I were standing at least 8ft away from each other during the dual and even John Lewis doesn't make 8ft bread knives.
