We were almost decapitated during a car crash
Car accident.
We were in a sports car, going about 50 on a back road.
He was driving a flatbed tow truck.
We laid down some serious rubber, and all I could thing was, let us hit the tires.
We hit the back end, it ripped the car to pieces, but we walked.
Cop who responded told us that if we had been five feet left, we would have been decapitated.

The handhold I had stopped being a hold, and became a lose piece of rock in my hand.
Logically, this meant I dropped of the mountain.

I was pretty concerned, as a fan of puppies, so I thought it seemed appropriate.
Thats when I got my worst: Dont get into vans with strangers, idiot speech ever.
I figured he wasnt just any old stranger, but a man with a lost dog.
I just thought my mom was being mean, and unfair.
And Im sure the pedophile did as well.

He then shot my brother and committed suicide.
I was the only one to survive and I was left blind.

I couldve touched the driver if thered been no glass in the way.
He looked just as scared as I felt.
Every moment after that has been a bonus moment.
Right on my side of the bus at my window too.

Then randomly, I stood up and blood gushed down my legs, and filled my shoes.
I called my husband home in a panic and he rushed me to the hospital.
I was told that the only chance was for me to lay still and hope it healed back.
I laid on a mattress in my living room for 4 months until everything seemed safe.
The baby came out fat and healthy and just graduated college these many years later.
But I was one of a small percentage that survived.

Inhaled a lot of water before someone else came to help me.
I never realized until then how easy it would be to drown surrounded by other people.

I rolled off the couch and it barely missed me.
I still had tons of cuts from all the glass though; just not a direct hit.

Luckily they only wanted assets and not to kill me.

At that speed the paramedics said I had about a 50% chance of dying.
I just remember flying through the air and accepting that, this was when I was going to die.
Fortunately I just had some permanent knee damage and some road rash.

Someone threw a pitchfork at me

Needless to say, I dont talk to him anymore.

He left me in the car in the backseat whilst he went to work.
This was promptly followed by Dont tell Mum about this.'

I managed to get back out by myself.
It was a pond in our neighborhood and we werent supposed to be there alone.
But she wasnt even mad, I think she just was happy that I lived.

A wild animal tried to eat me alive
Almost became a mountain lion feast.
In a split second…too fast to know what happened, a cougar grabbed me from behind .
My two older brothers immediately ran at it the cat let go.
All I remember is being dragged on the ground then not much of anything after that.
I was told the doctor cleaned up some surface wounds and gave me a tetanus shot.

Canada Day, some guy started shooting at someone less than 100ft away from me.

I was hospitalized with a pulmonary infection
Last year I was hospitalized with a bad pulmonary infection.
I had 800ml of fluid on EACH lung, plus more around my heart.
Lungs were completely collapsed, acute cardiac tamponade.
And the doctor just shook his head and gave him I dont know eyes.
I experienced a heart failure
I had been feeling ill and shaky for around 2 months prior.
Went to bed one night feeling rough.
Woke up in the hospital 2 weeks later, no memories of the incident whatsoever.
Apparently I had a total heart failure, thing just stopped beating completely.
Im fine now though, at the age of 26, a lifetime of medication and a pacemaker.
Just have to take it easy.
