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?

The Lynx EffectI was about 14 and me and a couple of friends had gone camping and out of boredom and a little pyromania we decided to chuck some deodorant cans on the fire we had going....
First we tried the Sure for men can it blew up easy, no probs! Then it was the turn of the lynx can. We waited with baited breath for the thing to explode then.....NOTHING!
So me being really pissed off with it not exploding took it off the fire and put it on the floor before shouting "Oi! James gives us that other can of lynx and your lighter" and thus the stupidest thing I have ever done happened. I aimed the can at the base of the other can and sprayed, lighting the spray from the can with the lighter screaming like a fucking banshee "FUCKING BLOW UP YOU TW..." before it did.....in my face.....well just about. I saw my life flash before my eyes (that was probably the flames though) and a lots of ringing in my ears...anyway I can remember then running to the stream near by shouting expletives at the top of my voice before dunking my head in and checking my face and body for injury.
Luckily I got off with a few minor minor burns and singed eyebrows, hair and arm/leg hair. Oh and red marks in one corner of my right eye, for which I was called rocky "cus it looked like tiger stripes and 'eye of the tiger' in’it"
Mum and dad were not impressed.....
