near death experience thread >be earlier tonight >just

>tickets for getting a blowout
Fucking spooky

Maybe none of that happened because you weren't on the literal brink of death.
Near death experience? Sure was. But maybe somehow your subconscious knew you would come out okay, so it didn't do all that crazy near death experience stuff you hear about.
The few people I know who claim that stuff happens have actually flat lined and been resuscitated.

>>15546562

shouldn't have told the police you swerved

any human response is held against you in an accident, even if it wasn't intentional.

I can deliberately plow into thousands of people on a sidewalk and as long as I say "mechanic failure" it will be treated as a no-fault incident.

>>15546562
the tickets were for an assortment of other things with the car, not for the specific blow out
>>15546577
yea i know, was pretty shell shocked when dealing with everything
>>15546563
that makes sence

>>15546577
If you can prove that it really was mechanical.

nigga, i thought you flipped that shit when you said you crawled out.
That crash doesn't look too bad, tho.

>>15546539
ive seen a guy do the same exact crash you did except he was hit by some chick who didn't see him in her blind spot.
Except this guy didn't crawl out and make a big deal out of nothing. He stepped out, checked the damage, and was ready to fight someone.

>>15548420
Good point, and good luck with your pain.

Well it happened last year, never tought much about it untill a week or so, anyways, here.

>Be me, in a hurry to get home
>About to cross this big ass street, minding my own shit
>Then this old lady grabs me by my arm as I'm walking and stops me, then asks me if i could help her cross the street

>She holds tight to my arm and we go
>Suddenly this car goes 2fast2furious a couple of meters from us
>Runs a red light and shit
>mfw i could be dead if not for helpless old lady

>>15548586
That was almost some instant karma

But since when do old ladies actually ask people to cross streets with them?

>>15548602
that's what i tought
"wtf does this actually happen i tought this was a movie thing or something"

>>15548602
>But since when do old ladies actually ask people to cross streets with them?
I was in Kazakhstan one winter and the babushki were always asking me for help on these slick granite tiles along a square by apartment. Commies thought it looked good, but dangerous as hell when icy. Girlfriend said it was because I had a "naive American face" and they figured they could trust me.

Never had an American granny look at me with anything but distrust, btw.

>>15546539
Why'd you get tickets?

Also,

I never drive tired anymore.

when i was a kid i got a concussion that made me immediately and repeatedly pass out plus everything that happened about an hour before it is just a weird blur. i had to stay in hospital for about a week.
anyway, i have this one memory where im being carried by my parents and their friends we were visiting at the time, except i remember seeing myself from a CCTV-like angle, and the people carrying me were walking through walls

>>15546563

Not really, I had the "life flashing before my eyes" when I was about to be hit by a car while crossing the street back when I was in my single digits. The car came to a full stop and never touched me.

>>15548263
Wouldn't insurance have to do that?

Interest piqued.

Posting to come back later

youre lucky those state tax dollars go to DOT.
them fuckers are not only a bitch to fix, but designed to minimize injuries, surprised you're walking tho.

I think my subconscious dislike to getting wet can be attributed to that. I mean, I absolutely hate the feeling of water(still gotta take showers, nobody likes a stinkbomb.)

Am I the only one who feels like they're immortal? Like on some quantum immortality shit. More times than I can count I've been a hairs width from death but I come out unscathed. I seriously feel like you cannot experience death in the first person. Like life is some sort of strange video game.

I was a teenager during the Ramstein air incident, I sat away from my family because I was some edgy emo faggot at the time. I start feeling hungry so I get up and go get a hot-dog, as I walk away and start eating it, the crash happens and a giant mass of twisted metal and flame smashes into the crowd where I had been previously sitting. Family that had been sitting further away drag me away because quite a bit of the place was covered in debris and on fire.
I can never forget the moment that fucking plane just hit the ground and exploded, the way the people got vaporized from being close.
Still think about it everyday.

Got two, though the first one probably wasn't as much near death.

>thursday I guess, sooner the better
>feeling much better on thursday but go anyway
>doctor checks xray, appendix could burst at any moment
>sit around on hospital bed playing gameboy while I wait to be rushed into surgery

When I went to get the stitches removed I found out that it was gangrenous appendicitis and that I wouldn't have survived till friday if I had waited. So basically I was asked if I wanted to live (go on thursday) or die (go on friday) without knowing it.

>>15549233
That is called being a young adult male and have fun realizing your own mortality soon, it's gonna be a doozy

I have this theory that, you never die. You change realitys when you do, and resume in the very moment you died, but this time you don't, and all the people that died, are alive in other reality

...I don't think that's what he was referring to, lol... I could be wrong but I had the impression he was talking more about the tunnel of light, or having an OBE and watching people try to resuscitate you while your family is crying, or seeing/speaking to deal relatives, or going to the "other place", etc... or at least, when I think of NDE that's what I think of, like, someone died for a moment and then "came back".

I've had the whole time slowing to a crawl and life flashing before my eyes from stuff like falling off my horse. Probably wasn't in a huuuuuge danger, it's just that adrenaline does weird things to the body/mind.

I once tried and failed to jump a tennis net in a single bound, and I remember it the same way.

I remember running toward the net, and then I remember sitting up on the ground, feeling fine except a slightly sore head, with someone calling an ambulance.

Memory is weird.

in early september i was driving home from work (live in Saigon so on motorbike) and i guess a guy was going the wrong way down the road (common, traffic is crazy in Vietnam) and tried to cross my lane, colliding with my front wheel.

my teeth went into his skull, we were both knocked out, i woke up in the hospital getting stitched up

i guess i was on the ground bleeding from the head and not breathing for a few minutes, like bystanders had removed my prostrate body to the side of the road and I was presumed DOA and then I started breathing again, stood up and rode to the nearby hospital on the back of a kind stranger's motorbike

and that's the story of how i lost my 8th life, tryna make this 9th one last

btw, do your best not to knock out your teeth, it makes eating way more of a chore

>>15549233
I know the feeling, anon. I've read some theories about how our consciousness never dies, just switches realities when our bodies do.

Just so you know your life seems to "slow down" in intense moments like these because your brain writes memory more densely. It's so you can recall the moment and hopefully learn from it.

All these experiences are life experiences. Not-dying experiences. Death doesn't even come into the equation. what-if/could is a curse. Don't curse yourselves anons.

In retrospect the pool itself was incredibly dangerous. The waves caused a pulling for on the rebound that pulled you in deeper, obviously it became worse the closer to the front you were, I definitely could have died. I hope its been shut down now.

I've had 3 instances where I should have had died, but didn't

>>15556845
I had a similar experience. I wander into a pool that for progressively deeper then the waves came. A guy on an intertube pulled me up and got me to the edge.

I also had a another half-drowning experience when I was 5. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I guess I thought I could breath underwater if left to my own willpower. Next thing I recollect I'm having an out of body experience watching the life guard resuscitate me, they ask how I feel and I tell them I'm hungry and ask my handler if I could have some oatmeal cookies she brought. People laughed nervously like "What's wrong with this kid he almost died?/Aww how cute. Kids are adorable. He's hungry." This was in texas.

Man, car accidents are crazy shit. There's something about that moment when your brain tries to catch up with what just happened... you can feel your mind fumbling everything your senses are screaming at you.

Gives me the strangest boner.

>>15550036
so you went to the Prometheus school of running away from things

>>15558011
Damn, man, is it really that bad? Do you still need people to check on you so you don't die in your sleep?

its not even that, apparently both of my parents were hearing popping sounds all over the house at night (when you open strips for the blood testing meter, it makes a pop sound) and that woke my mom up.

I hope you're not alone, my friend.

Have 2 stories that can be considered near death or reality glitches.
1st

> like most kids drive pick up trucks pretty early
> be driving backroads like I have a hundred times to school
> its a late day so drive up to school around 8
> there are a lot of 4 way intersections but they only have crossing stop signs because tree line is too thick to just cross
> the area is known for grass farms and have super deep ditches to help control flooding
> drive as usual past first cross section no biggie
> approach 2nd intersection
> a wild bus appears and runs stop sign at full speed

> close my eyes tight and grip my wheel
> feel the truck tilt and know im about to crash into the ditch
> hold my breath
> open eyes and im pulling into the school gates crying and literally melt out of my truck

>>15549233
I have these feels to except… Things always seem to go good for me like even when I should be eating a shit storm things worked out beautifully I don't know how it works but it just does

>>15562429
2nd

> 2 other car owners went to the hospital though
> wonder if something was targeting or looking for me

>>15562438
Thats comforting. I get like that too but it has to do with my parents and spouse. Ive always been sure things will work out even if its just incomprehensible

not exactly a near death experience, but here it is

>be me, age 5
>no details, but
>being made to do something not dangerous
>but really don't want to do it
>fight and fight
>but easily overpowered
>can't scream loud enough
>can't cry hard enough
>start wondering if I can just make it all disappear

>body begins to go numb
>starting at my legs
>going deeper until i'm pulled upward
>straight through a tunnel of light
>end up in a darkened place surrounded by family
>they tell me i have to go back
>i tell them i can't, it's too horrible
>they convince me otherwise
>wake up a few weeks later (yes, i said weeks)
>body was on autopilot since "NDE"
>remember the last few weeks like a dream

that's all i got.

>>15546539
I got in a rek going about 120 in my jaguar without wearing a seatbelt. not a scratch on me

>>15562544
what did you hit?

>>15546539
>>grab wallet phone and ciggerretts from car because damn theres so much smoke
Good call. When I was in a car accident couple years ago, the "good samaratan helpers" trying to save me out took the cash from my wallet and my iPhone.

>>15546539
Oh yeah, forgot to mention - yeah shit slowed down for me too. I think your brain realises this is probably one of the most important things that will happen to you so your brain takes in all the info faster. Makes me think now that when "things go faster" it's coz the brain doesnt think it's important. I dunno, just thinking.

Yeah, no life flashing before me either, but I wasn't even hurt badly. The sound of the crash was amazing, nothing like what it is on the outside.

A few times off the top of my head. I won't green text, for the sake of brevity, unless some one wants to know more for some reason.
>Almost drowned helping to save a friend (I couldn't pull him out myself due to current, so I just kept him afloat to buy time)
>Almost choked to death on a piece of hard candy when I was like 3
>Held a gun point by a KKK member
I never had any of that life flashing before my eyes or any of the other stuff people talk about. Everything kinda slowed down a bit, but I could tell it was all in my head and that the situation was actually moving very fast, the only thing in my head was my mind playing out step by step in slow-mo, how I was going to survive and what to do to get out of it. No panic or rushed thoughts just a dull focus where everything fades away except for a detached sensation of feeling and situational awareness. Really hard to describe.

>>15548413
whats in the pink buckets?

>>15562615
Green text the whole stories I mean.

>>15548602
Depends on the area I suppose, I know people where I live will ask for help from strangers with trust.

>>15553526
I dunno, I swear it might be luck too tho
I get scared going down the highway to Brisbane coz I knew someone who crashed there for no reason. The driver was a more responsible driver than me too. And the road is safer than the one I drive on near daily.

>>15548922
That's one hell of a dream

>>15549265
Dude.

>driving down highway to get to McJob
>highway is 2 way, with a 2meter wide island all through the length of it with cars going the opposite way on the other side of it
>kinda running late, anxiety makes me push the pedal a little harder
>few seconds later realise I'm 10-15km over speed limit, high police presence on this part of the highway
>shit, let go of the pedal
>all of a sudden, 4WD comes hurtling at me from the opposite lane across the island, driver could not get any control because the island was at a dip with bushes all filled out
>4WD shoots off just behind me about 5-10 meters

If I didn't accidentally speed that day, I probably would of died driving in my sedan.

Would of got fired too, I already had 3 late days in 3 months kek

>inb4 you should of checked the 4WD out
Couldn't U-turn for another 5 km anyway

>>15549412
Mate, stop thinking about what disorders you think you have, just start working on steps to get better.

I know too many tumblr-bitches at work who go "I think I may have this and that and this event in my life totally would have given me this and that too" and blah blah, so ever since then they just go by their disorder for their problems, and never actually get over themselves. All it did for them was give them an excuse for how they feel, never ever inspired them to get out of it. They always have a mild glow when they mention it - I think that's why they don't bother trying to heal themselves.

Have a paranormal experience and a near-death experience at the same time. Writing greentext story out now.

Sup people OP here

Just jumped on and saw this thread at the top so thought i'd drop an update

No concussion on anything, got a gnar cut on my head. My shoulders decently fucked up but getting better and dont really feel anything else

Pic related : while they were moving the car, still havent gone to the impound lot to see it :/

>be me

>be in second grade

>just had surgery to get tonsils and adenoids removed

>have to eat certain things and sleep a certain way

>sleep sitting up in chair

>I'm asleep

>don't normally experience things while sleeping at this age, but I suddenly start seeing smoky images, most prevalently a hand, a woman who looked like my grandmother, and two smoky figures hugging

>feel calm, and peaceful, just watching all these images float by, slowly starting to fade to black

>suddenly I feel something cold on my face and I'm snapped back into consciousness

>mother is washing spit off my face

>tells me that I was barely breathing, she called it a death rattle

>I almost died

>a few years later ask her how she knew to come check on me

>it's worth mentioning that she'd recently married a guy and moved us into his house

>his mother had died in that house the previous year

>his mother owned a cat that was really old and really vicious, but loved me a lot, specifically me

>cat is attracted to area where his mother had died, and we'd seen her appear in pictures we took where she liked to be on the property

>mother says that cat had woken her up and led her to the living room where I was sleeping

>I believe my grandmother (in law, technically) provoked the cat into waking up my mother to save my life

Has anyone else had any experiences like this?

>>15562689
Poor Op also post gnar cut.
Your insurance will sky rocket

>>15550876
Memory's a fickle bitch. You'll remember really stupid useless things from years ago, but if you crash on a quad or something you'll sit there with minor bruises wondering what happened.

>>15562708
Ive had this feeling many times.
Used to work in a kitchen frying shit mostly donuts.
You literally stand over 360 degree frying grease using drum sticks to flip shit fast.
Work overnight sometimes hung over.
Many times have felt hands pull mine away from the bubbling hot grease when I get too close.
MAny times have I slipped and gone straight toward the open fryer and somehow avoid the whole thing.
Same with knives, they've completely flown out of my hand but have never gotten cut.
Sometimes feels like something wants to hurt me but someone is there stopping them.

>>15555294
>the cough sounded like i said "fuck you niggers go pick me some cotton then get prepared to die like trayvon you fucking burnt skin spear chucking darkies"
Now I'm picturing a scene like in a film where the camera follows you as you cough, then the camera moves to the pack of negros as the sound changes from cough to about 2 sentences' worth of speech.

>>15562710
ive tried taking alot of pics of it the last few days, but it difficult with long hair, best i got is a blurry shot with a big dark spot under the hair

>>15562689
That looks bought as bad as how I completely totalled mine. Do you reckon it's gonna be redeemable?

>>15562731
How big is the cut? Did you need stitches?

>>15548383
doctorfag here. don't do the chemo or radiation if they're offering it. stage 4 with mets to bones is a death sentence. treatment might give you a few more months but your life is going to be so miserable it won't be worth it. refuse treatment except for pain meds and enjoy what's left of your time on earth.

>>15562756
How do doctorfags feel about death? Do you wake up in the middle of the night scared every once in a blue moon or do you kinda "meh" at it?

what do you guys think it was?

i was a like in 6th grade when this happened

>>15562739
front end is done for, if i had the time i could prob salvage the block and tranny and part out the rest but thats not really in the cards right now.
>>15562743
na no stiches it feels like one long one with like a smaller one branching off

I'm on mobile so please forgive lack of greentext.
When I was around 6-7 years old, my two cousins(~12 and 8), my sister (~11) and I went swimming in my uncles pool when no one was home to watch us.

Being the little pussy I was, I had never been for a swim in the deep end. My sister and cousins convinced me to try, and said they would watch me from the outdoor couch/bench that was facing the pool.

I started from one length and attempted to swim to the other (4m or so, bearing in mind the pool was about the 10x4).

As i reached half way I began to choke and drown. I couldnt bring myself above the surface so I waved my hands signaling for help from my family, who did nothing.

Eventually I blacked out under water, there wasnt a crazy dmt trip, or flashback of my past, just absolutely nothing, I remember the feeling of swallowing water and shutting down. By pure chance, my uncles assistant had come by the house to drop something off and I guess he found me in the water just in time.

I woke up on a couch inside, knowing I had drowned I went outside to ask my sister what the fuck she was doing just watching me die as I signaled for help.
She said something along these lines to me "we just thought you waving at us, so we just watched" with a smirk and laugh as if it was funny.

Had my uncle remembered to bring home some papers, I wouldve died with my cousins and sister laughing at me.

>>15550385

>>15562773
You should've beaten them. You should beat them now. Just go into the next room or drive over to your sister's place or whatever you need to do and slap her across the face then come back to your computer. No explanation, no apology, no words.

Well I had something similar, but more focused on the cat.

>had a really vicious case of chickenpox when I was 11

>have a little cat named Alice

>one day where it got much worse I am basically dying in bed and there is not much anyone can do
>I can not even stand up without passing out anymore
>cat comes to the bed and cuddles up on my chest
>I am crying tears of agony and at some point fall into sleep

>next morning I feel already better and can eat again

This. Make her need the therapy she avoided having due to drowning you.

>>15562795
>>15562795
Animals feel pain and sorrow. I think sometimes they can give life energy the way a parent can give to their child. I have a little dog like that. She was born normal but shortly after lost the use of her legs, one day I came home and swore I saw the life fading from her eyes and I cried and prayed and bargained for her to live. She eventually got stronger and grew to love me so much we practically are attached at the hip now. Her legs are stronger and although she can't walk she had survived and out lived her mom and sister.

>>15562797
I hardly speak to her any more these days and as much as my mother loves me she resents me for it, since I havent spoken to my sister in almost a year. I havent heard from my cousins in about 10 years.

>>15562813
Yeah there is really something mysterious about domestic animals, there are many cases of them doing unusuall things.
Maybe being this close to humans made them to something more than mere animals.

It is not surprising that they can the pain of others though, our instincts might have numbed hard, but theirs are still sharp.

It is a shame really that we do not have these abillities anymore.

>>15562827
Mothers will always hold out for hope that their kids will love each other but I have an older brother that I absolutely despise as a person for his spouse choice and vices. I thinkits better to stay away from people and be able to keep up the facade that you care rather then confront and out right hate each other.

>>15562836
Its nice to know there are people who share similar views to myself, sad to hear about your brother and poor choice in women/men however, I hope you two resolve your issues one day.

>>15562834
I could see that being true. I think were we dulled out senses they adapted theirs with ours and gained new insight.

>>15562859
Thanks Anon I hope one day he acts like hes the oldest brother and stops following his wife like a scared child.

>>15562870
I can only wish you the best of luck, anon

>>15562834
There's definitely truth to what you're saying. I currently have two beautiful German shepards; one that 11 and another that's turning four next month. I remember that when I was around 9-10 I went on vacation. My aunt agreed to watch the dog while we were away. My cousin had to be around 3-4 just learning how to really get around by himself. He somehow got outside and my dog stopped him from leaving the property and most likley getting hit by a car. ( urban neighborhood, not much property to begin with). It's nothing special, I always found it comforting that the dog gave that much of a shit to protect him like that. Another story coming up too about the younger one.

>>15562905
You too Anon

>>15562909
He was always a big dog. Even as a puppy he had giant paws and a #cut physique. I raised him almost single handedly from in think 6 weeks old. I'd protect him when my mom was feeling like a cunt and decided she needed to take her anger out on him. He was defenses and I just connected with him from day one. It was more than a regular bond, I mean I got sick to my stomach at the idea if him being scared and confused by what was happening to him. Like any Shepard he grew up quick, realized how things worked, and decided that it was his turn to protect me no matter what. At around 16-17 I began to fuck around with Molly. It didn't take long before I was banging it. I was really starting to mess my life up and I could see the disappointment in his eyes. I decided I'd get clean for him. Throughout the entire withdrawal process he never left my side, never bothered me to take him for walks, he convinced he wouldn't have eaten had I not felt compelled to feed him. Again it's nothing special, but I knew that without him God knows how I would have ended up. The fact that he cared so much and only wanted to see me healthy really struck a nerve.

>>15562933
That feels.
>>15562813
Im this person.
I had her mom for 5 years she was my first dog a shih tzu, I was there when she gave birth and cried when she was in pain. She died on thanksgiving and her daughter ( the one who cant walk) basically stepped up and knew I needed someone and helped heal me while I was grieving. Same when I was pregnant and lost my baby she would cuddle on my chest and wouldnt leave me. Knowing something depends you makes you push the bad away to focus on something that matters at that moment.

Forgive me, no green texts because I'm on my phone.

A minute ago I was calmly walking back home, since I walked a friend home. I was reading this thread and thinking about life and shit.
I was about tou cross the street when I heard someone shout "wait! Stop!" (In spanish because I'm mexican)
I stop.
Douche drives by at 80 kmph.
Realize I shouldn't be alive.
Turn around to thank whoever warned me.
THERE'S NOBODY HERE.
Flipping balls.
Run home.

it doesn't bother me much now. i mean, the first time you lose a patient it's pretty frightening. it's not as though you become numb to it, but you certainly learn to accept it.

this isn't an opinion that's unusual in the medical field today, but i'm more bothered by some of the "life-prolonging" care we give like i was warning the other poster about. we spend so much on patients at the ends of their lives at a point which it really doesn't benefit them--even if they live longer, they live much worse.

It took me 'till I was aroud 12, or 13 when my friend finally forced me to learn how to swim. He was on a swim team and he taught me. Now I'm fucking fearless of water.

>>15571413
So many near drownings. People really need to be more mindful of their kids around water and teach them basic swimming lessons.

>>15557957
That's pretty cool

>>15571950
it absolutely blew my mind when it happened, I seriously live differently ever since the experience.

>>15557957
That's not a near death experience, are you trolling? i hope u r plz say u r

>>15571991
it was definitely a near death experience, I am about 90% sure if i inhaled a little more I would no longer be alive

>>15572028
No you were just high on duster. Never done it myself because it's widely known to be pretty retarded but you didn't even black out.

>>15572028
It's hard to say, but look up experiences on erowid.com regarding huffing the shit. I say shit because it is very harmful to you.

>>15572052
if i was just high on duster why would that text come through IMMEDIATELY as I asked myself what happens when I die. Part of me entertains the idea that i might have died that night

>>15572054
Oh i know I haven't touched it since, at the time i really had no idea what i was doing

>>15572055
Never let simple coincidences fool you. I've been high on duster once or twice before and it was very intense. >>15572054 is me by the way, it's VERY intense and turns your world upside down. Like I said just do some research on other's experience with it.

>>15572055
Wow dude if that blew your mind I can't imagine how you would handle coincidences while doing actual drugs

>>15572062
Oh i have done a lot of reading about it, it will always make me think because off its impeccable timing. A lot of people have stories where they think they were about to die on duster but they didn't seem to have that weird element that I experienced, I know it's a bit of a stretch for the thread, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to share.
>>15572065
It would blow your mind if you went through as young as i was.

>>15572071
I don't doubt it anon. Have you tried doing anything else or are you completely clean?

>>15572077
I've tried:
weed, opiates, adderall, coke, dxm, dmt, shrooms, and an assortment of other pharms.

I'm clean now, except weed from time to time, but i never had any experiences quite like that.

>>15572081
DXM is pretty fun if you're very moderate with it and you increase your dosage from time to time. I can get pretty intense at the peak.

>>15572081
LSD and K are the really weird ones IMO. Mushrooms you have to take a bunch and they don't have the looooonnnnggggg peak followed by four more solid hours of tripping. DXM also but as you probably know you're usually
too fucked to assign significance to much

>>15572083
i only dabbled with it a few times, I never had the stomach for it. DMT was the absolute tits but finding it was comparable walking the ring through mordor.

>>15572087
never messed with lsd or k, I don't think I would want to trip for 4 hours

what's a gnar cut?

>>15572099
maybe he meant gnarly, but gnar is snow.

>>15572088
Yeah it's hard to stomach a high dose of it. I found DXM in a gel cap form though at CVS if you ever have the itch to do it again. Versus downing 1-2 bottles of Robitussin. I'm looking for DMT but no luck here, might end up just risking buying the bark and making it myself.

>>15572087
>DXM also but as you probably know you're usually
>too fucked to assign significance to much
Not much difference between DXM and ketamine for me. DXM makes things more significant if anything. It's more headspace-inducing. It doesn't really fuck me up. Like I just can't move well on it but I also can't move well on a lot of ketamine.

>>15572108
I made it myself with a kid who had made it a few times before, it was a fantastic trip. And I've only done the gel caps, robo has to much acetaminophen and other nonsense I didn't care to put in my body

>>15572117
True that.

>>15546539
This hurts so much to remember. I feel like it actually did happen but I hadn't accepted it so I'm basically living a lie right now. It's the biggest mistake I (almost?) made in my life

I know it sounds kinda lame, but I still get shutters to this day

>>15572207
I've told this story before but I'll post so you're not alone. No jade pointers because I'm on a phone. When I was like 15 my grandpa came home from target practice, and I assumed he had taken the bullets out of his revolver already as we never kept loaded guns in the house. I was playing with it and put it against my head and was going to make it click, but I hear him coming upstairs and thought if he saw me he would be mad. So I popped open the cylinder and six shells hit the floor.

Funny thing is I wouldn't have gone to the hospital if my EMT friend wasn't there
Probably owe him my life, I'm thankful he was there

>>15572699
It's strange how many people have been moments away from having their appendix burst. What makes this happen? Why doesn't the body have a safeguard against this?

You're very lucky to have that EMT friend.

>>15574071
Blockage in the appendix usually by a calcified stone or whatever(can be a few other things) and this causes the appendix to become swollen and eventually burst. And I guess we haven't evolved far enough for a safegaurd

>>15574423
>And I guess we haven't evolved far enough for a safegaurd

Seriously, these things explode or nearly explode at the slightest provocation. Happened to a few people I know, same thing, had to have emergency surgery before the damn thing blew like a two-dollar hooker in Bangkok.

>>15574428
Yeah you think by now we would have developed larger passageways in the appendix or more elasticity at the least. But yeah i know a handful of people that actually had it burst, I am sure the feeling of that fucking sucks

>>15574432
Won't it kill you if it bursts? I guess maybe not right away, but the stuff can get infected and there's risk of Peritonitis, right?

>>15574439
Yeah there is a very high risk of infection, luckily if it bursts the pain is excruciating so most people go to the hospital immediately and they clean you out. But the stay at the hospital is a bit longer if it does burst.

Probably for the best, seeing as you nearly Darwin'd yourself there.

I doubt this was as prevalent when we were developing as humans, part of me believes it has a lot to due with the modern diet or we died to other causes sooner.

Why is everyone on here a fucking drug dealer or a junkie? Every story starts with some scumbag nearly getting their comeuppance.

It was January of this year. I was doing some work for my boss in his barns loft/attic area. Was putting insulation up. I was walking on the edges of 2x8s. Didn't think it was a problem because I've had fairly decent balance in my life. I was carrying a bundle of insulation. I slipped and fell through some poorly attached plywood. Start falling in slowmo and do the Hollywood reach and miss the 2x8 by like 3 inches. I was falling so slow I thought to myself 'why is this taking so long?' Almost immediately after I thought that I hit the ground. Couldn't breathe and was seeing red so I crawled a few feet and blacked out. Woke up like 30 minutes later. Didn't get an ambulance called because I'm hard headed. Go to the e.r. after the insistence of a bunch of family members. Turns out I had a crushed t11 vertibra. The first doc that talked to me was kind enough to tell me the lethal fall height was 15 feet. Thank God I'm still breathing and am able to walk.

>>15574608
Sorry for no green text. I'm on my phone and this way seemed faster.

>>15564759
Apart from the second these aren't near death experiences and the second is debatable. You don't tend to die from falling down stairs unless you're 80, if a bookshelf fell on you and didn't kill you then it wasn't going to kill you, the umbilicus is often wrapped around the neck and babies are often blue but they haven't yet started breathing air anyway, someone punching you is unlikely to kill you though it's not surprising it gave you a concussion.
