50 People Who Survived The Craziest Moments Of Their Lives

Rolled over in a car crash back in the '80s and supposedly I was ejected from the vehicle. I was 3 and only remember just before the accident. Survived with a fractured skull. I was in the hospital for 6 weeks afterwards. I still have a plate in my head today because of it.

November 2024 I was headed to work on a Friday, I was stopped at a red light about to get on a highway. That's the last thing I remember. My next memory is coming to in my driver's seat and some man has opened my passenger side door and is asking if im ok, im disoriented and groggy and Im trying to open my drivers door and try again and again to open it finally I get frustrated and remove my seat belt and hop over the center console to get out the passenger side. The man is telling me "not to move madame" that ive been in a major accident "dont move dont move" he keeps saying, as I get to the passenger side it occurs to me im not on the ground and the man helps me as I forcefully slide out of the car and I jump down the foot to the ground. I stand there and look back at the car to see part of my bumper is in the tree and I think to myself well thats odd. Im immediately met by a first responder who asks me the date and I give give wrong answer and im taken to the hospital. I didnt know at the time but I had epilepsy and what I experienced was a seizure at the wheel, completely blacked out and ultimately drove the car onto the highway and then it veered off the road, flipped into the ditch and landed upright in a tree within the wooded section at a highway intersection. The car was totaled, every window busted out, the drivers side airbag blew. I still can't believe i jumped out of that and walk away with not even a broken bone..

In my friends motor swapped Honda crx he was driving on a winding road after a summer rain. He lost control and we spun out counter clockwise into the oncoming lane. I remember looking out the passenger side window on the back end of a full 360 and seeing the silver bulldogs face looking down on us and the word MACK glisten as the car corrected back clockwise. We missed becoming a meat stuffed pancake by less than 3 feet and maybe an eighth of a second. He sold the car that next week.

Had a gun pulled on me by some egotistical fucko that wanted to mess with some teenagers.. even though I had that thing pointed straight at my face. I ran.. jumped over a fence into a yard and then ran through several more yards.. and hid while imploring the neighbor not to shoot me… just call the cops.. as soon as I saw the lights of the cop car I jumped the fence and ran out into the street only to have 2 cops frantically screaming at me to get on the floor with hands raised, while they pointed their guns at me.. I was just a skinny teenager standing on our block with some friends.

My dad, cousin, and I got pulled out to see by a (unusually) strong rip tide current at a beach in N.C. We were in to about eye level with decent waves over our heads and had reached the 'don't try to swim against the current, it's too strong, wait it out' stage. Eventually we randomly fetched up on a sandbar and, as the tide was coming out, the area we were in started to get more shallow and we could wade back in. People had the beach had called the water rescue on sea doos, but they ended up being not needed.

Fallujah was pretty tense. I stepped over a trip wire 3 times before I saw it and found the tank mine it was attached to. It would’ve been the end for sure, but now it’s just a moment in time.

Pinned against the barricade in the front row, O’Hara arena November 1993, …Nirvana live. It’s an ice hockey arena so the ground was covered in wet plywood. I broke 4 ribs, my feet didn’t touch the ground for most of the show. It was awesome.

Crashed my motorcycle into a truck while going 70 km/h. I have absolutely no recollection of the crash, I remember putting my hand on the door handle to leave the door and a few seconds later I woke up in the hospital while they were hammering down a titanium rod down my hip to my knee.

I had broken my femur, crushed my kneecap, got compression syndrome in my other calf which k****d a piece of it and tiny holes in my lungs and spleen (which the doctors said was from the force of suddenly stopping).

All in all it took 4 months to relearn how to walk and 4 years to get free of pain.

Although, the latter was due to a mistake that the doctors made.

Slid on black ice. My friend and I were on a road trip, ignored weather warnings to "beat the storm". Going 70mph the car just started rotating. We just started screaming. Did two full spins, hit a van and binked off to the side of the road where there was gravel, miraculously not flipping over.
