I refer to things that had the potential to kill you but you got away with. (If you didn’t cheat death you don't need to respond!)

I was around 9 or 10 and me and my two sisters were playing hide and seek. It was my youngest sisters turn to count so L was hiding I couldn’t find a good place to hide so I hid in the deep freeze freezer. Well I closed the door and I couldn’t get out. Good thing my sister heard me slamming it shut and she opened it for me. THANK YOU SIS!!

Attempted suicide twice, first time I overdosed it wasn't that severe so the hospital just had me drink charcoal, so gross it is sickly sweet and very gritty like it was mixed with sand. the second time I ended up in hospital for almost a week with a drip of parvolex (used to treat paracetamol overdose). There is a good ending though besides me surviving, 5 days after I came out of hospital my daughter was conceived. She is 14 now and even though I have had suicidal thoughts I have not made an attempt to commit suicide since.

I was 15, on a solo trip that was supposed to start in Puerto Rico and head down the windward Caribbean isles to Trinidad (I only made it to St Maarten). I was camping at a place called The Baths on Virgin Gorda, BVI. (see pic). It was not then the hotbed of tourism it is today and I'd go a few days between seeing other humans. I lived on peanut butter, oatmeal, coconuts (they were laying all over), and about 1 fish every other day. I was exploring the amazing huge granite boulders and at one point I jumped in to a crevice where I saw water splashing in. It was only after I got in that I learned it was much deeper than I had assumed. The passage I had hoped I would find was much to tiny to get through and the ledge I'd jumped off of was not only above my head, it was covered with sharp-edged barnacles. I didn't panic but I knew I was in trouble. But I saw a little bit if light coming out from under a rock. It's the big one on the right. I dove under it and came up into a hollow that had been scoured out by wind and water about 3 m across and was able to come out onto the light colored stone and dive off. It was 2-3 days before anyone happened to stop by. I realized afterwards that had I not stumbled across that exit I would have faced a very difficult and bloodying climb or died of hypothermia or dehydration. I had been very lucky and very stupid.

At the age of 21, I went with a friend to Las Vegas for a wedding. We stayed 2 nights drank the entire time we are there. So it is time to go to airport and take the last flight of the day for home. This was before 9/11, so my friend is in line checking us in. The terminal is literally a ghost town with only a hand full of people waiting in line for same flight. I take my carry on bag and stumble my tired still buzzed self over to the empty waiting area. About 100 feet away from me, my friend is going through the check in procedures. The customer service person gets to the question about firearms, explosives, and whatever else in our bags. Of course my friend answered no. Then before I even realize I was talking I muttered underneath my breath "Sorry but no... I forgot to pack my atomic bomb".... I tell you what that agent has like crazy good hearing because like I said I was nowhere near spitting distance... well you can guess what happens next.

Went down a steep rough hill by sitting on a skateboard and wearing roller skates. Realised my mistake when I started picking up speed halfway down. Had to turn a corner to avoid a curve and to my DELIGHT it was another goddamn hill. Swore a lot convinced this is were it ended. Turned another corner into an uphill. Got partway up before skateboard rolled to a stop. Immediately dismounted and skated back up hill to let friends know I wasn’t dead.

I was around 6 or 7. I played outside with a friend, she asked me to come by her place quick. We went there, but little did I know they also had a Tiger Boxer.
So I walk in and stand in the corridor waiting, the dog walks up and starts sniffing the air towards me. Stupid kid as I was, I put my face closer to the dogs face so it could "smell me better." The dog, however, decided he was done sniffing and bit me in my face, then lunged at me trying to push me down I suppose, but I hit the door behind me. Luckily they got the dog off me before any additional injuries could occur.
Later at the doctor, when I was getting stitches, I was told that one of the dogs teeth missed my eye socket by about 3mm. I still wear the scars of that attack 25 years later. Biggest being on my cheek.

I was 27 and severely depressed. Tried lots of pills and none seemed to work. I felt that there was no hope and so decided to end it all. I set off one night and ended up walking on the motorway. I thought I was about to die but the car swerved at the last minute and caused a crash. The police arrived and I spent a few months in hospital. I'm still battling my depression but so far so good in terms of motorway incidents.

I made brownies for a party at work and left the pan on the stove to clean up later. Around the side was crispy, hard brownie pieces. I got home from work and I was going to cook dinner and decided to clean the pan up and scrape the brownie pieces out of the pan, with a sharp knife. I had my left hand on the side of the pan, the knife slipped and I stabbed myself. My boyfriend and son were out, so I was home alone. Took me a long time to find my phone to call him, I was in so much shock I almost passed out.
