Hey Pandas, What's The Closest You've Ever Come To Dying? (Closed)

Ok here is another one my friend almost got struck by lightning.

Once when i was 6 i went to a water park with my friend and my family. I didn't know how to swim. Yeah you could see where this is going... so there was this slide and i really didn't want to go, but my dad made me go up and told me it was fun. so i went and at the end of the slide he cached me before i went in the water, so that was actually really fun, so i wanted to go again. I went down the slide and my dad wasn't there to catch me. i went under the water. I dont think anybody knew i was drowning and at the time i did not know that you were supposed to hold your breath while in the water. so i was just floating flat and was panicking, i saw someone's legs next to me, i think she was helping another kid off the slide. and eventually my friends dad lifted me up the water and carried me to the platform. apparently my mom saw the whole thing, she said she thought it was another kid playing around. (the whole thing happened in 1 minute which is actually a very long time!) oh well, if my friends dad wasn't there to save me, i think i wouldn't be here today.

I was 12 years old I was climbing a wall of hay and I fell about 15 feet. I tried to slow myself down and my arm got stuck in the hay near the bottom and my back fell into a c shape and I almost broke it and the worst part was none of the adults helped me and I had to drag myself to my mom.

I fell off the house when I was retrieving my swimming goggles. Don't ask.

Spent a 2 weeks vacation in Thailand once.
Left Pattaya on Dec 25th, 2004.

one time in a theater, a guy claimed to have a bomb so they had to evacuate. there was no bomb but it was still terrifying and made it on the news. the worst part was we were half was through Avengers End Game and had to wait a month to see it again.

I was swimming with my cousins at my pool and i didnt know how to swim at the time. I was at the deep end and tried to het out to the center bc i was staying towards the edges. Tried to let go of the edge and immediately started going under. My grandpa got me out of the water safely.

In March when I had covid19 for 2 weeks, my fever was so high I don't remember a thing from about the 3rd day until almost 2 weeks later.

Once, when I was about eight, we were hiking and I ran ahead of everyone on the way down. I didn't see a steep slope (it was like 3-4 feet wide or something) and slid down really quickly and almost fell 20+ feet off the side.

A few years ago, I was on a scuba diving trip. All was amazing., as it was my first time diving out in the ocean, rather than a pool or quarry.

Well, during one of the dives, I ended up diving down to a depth of about 100 feet, exploring a reef. It wasn't until I surfaced that I discovered I was supposed to go into decompression. Though saying I almost died may have been a bit of a stretch, I was very close to developing a dangerous nitrogen sickness and I didn't even know it.

I am not a strong swimmer and i had to swim across this long pool i almost drowned but a life gard saw me

This one is also not super here death but here goes. My mom was doing my hair. I hadn't eaten a lot that day and all of a sudden got really tired and my head hurt. When she was done, she wanted me to take some pics so we could send 2 the fam. I literally felt like i was gonna pass out. I have no clue what it was.

Another one: Cramps. BAD ONES. Don't judge, ok those are hecking painful

Ok THIS ONE is the real deal. I was born 3 months premature, and the doctors were saying that either me or my mom was gonna have 2 die. My mom called my aunt and my aunt was like "no no this child will LIVE" so she fell asleep and had a DREAM of ME, about 5 y o, running through a field. She called out, "ZOE! DONT RUN AHEAD!" Me being the dumbass child i was didn't stop, but that's not actually relevant. Anyways she woke up, called my mom and I was born completely healthy. Zoe Renee Stillwell-Taylor. The hyphen because Stillwell is from my mom's side and dumb Taylor is from my shitty dad's side. DO NOT I mean DO NOT take out the hyphen. My mom's side hates my father. Why? That's a whole nother story i actually DO care to elborate in possibly another post of "Ask Pandas". OH! I forgot 2 mention the both of us lived. Although my mom died 5 years ago.

not really almost dead but I felt like I'm dying rn. So this was pre- Covid. I was kind of sick ( lot of coughing involved) and my doctor prescribed me a medicine but didn't told me how to use it and WHAT NOT TO DO. So I took a pill and didn't thought much of it. Thought it's something like Ibu. Fast forward that night I went to a party and had 1 shot of tequila. Minutes later I feld dizzy and collapsed. At the dancefloor. Turns out the alcohol in combination the the pill I took makes morphine! So yeah I was so drugged I don't remember getting home. Moral of the story... Don't drink or go out when you took a pill you don't know. Or don't take pills you don't know

When I was in 2nd grade I got a really bad infection, I went septic, and that was a really bad time. It took a while for me to get back to my normal self.

I had another time where a guy grabbed me through my car window and I knew the minute he touched me that if he got me out of my car I was going to get raped and murdered. I can't adequately describe the evil that seemed to pour off of him. I slammed on my gas as he tried to pull me out of the car. The dude was so freaking strong he got me half out of the window before he finally lost his footing. I almost wrecked into another car but I managed to jerk the wheel in time and flew out of there like a bat outta hell. I was shaken up for days after that.

I was scuba diving for the first time into the sea for open water license.
Checked all my equipment and also got them checked by the instructor.

When reached turning point, regulator at the oxygen bottle just busted and when I saw the gauge it was reading zero.

I was in panic and so was my buddy.

Thankfully (and luckly) the instructor used the one having 2 masks so he let me use the other.
Ended up using less oxygen than others!

My family and I went on a trip to Costa Rica a year back, and we had hired a driver for a 3 hour drive to this small town where my mom had stayed at during college. The town was a lengthy climb up a mountain, so it, of course, was a little nerve racking. We reached this steep slope where we had to drive up, and at the top of it, was a stop sign. So naturally, the driver stopped. Well, he couldn't get the car to start going again because of the steepness of the mountain. The car slowly slid back down the mountain inch by inch, and at the bottom, was a cliff basically. We all decided to get out of the car as quickly as possible, while our driver was still in there. He put on the brakes and some local people helped us put rocks underneath the tires to stall the fall. It was scary.

I almost rode an ATV off a cliff. Was literally teetering on the edge.

I was with my 2 bffs (at the time), and we were swimming in one of their pools. One of my bffs went upstairs to take a shower, so me and my other bff were jumping in couple more times, and she was playing around, shoved me underwater. I was aught off guard so i accidentally inhaled a bunch of saltwater. I basically threw up on her grass, and i had a headache after that. Not near death but scared the s*** outta me and sure messed up my brain a little after that.
