Like actually almost dying, having to be revived, etc., none... doing something really stupid that could have lead to death, quite a few.

Not almost dying but could have died but some how not by luck.

Here is a few of mine.

Pulled from a moving car down the intestate.

My mother rolled a car over the hill while she was pregnant with me.

Flipped a car 2 1/2 times no seatbelt and thrown into the back seat I was driving.

involved in head on collision with a van.

Stuck in Ship Creek mud up to my knees with the tide coming in.

Stuck on the side of a mountain a mile from camp in the middle of snow storm and hypothermia setting in.

Horse tried to kick me in the head missed inches.

Closed calls that could have went either way.

My dad and I were changing the plug on his dryer and I decided to see if the new one fit in the socket... it did, and the circuit was on. I was standing about 2" from the wires on the other end of the plug... scared the sh*t out of me.

I had the same thing happen except I was holding the wires. Blew me half way across the room. I sizzled for awhile after that.

I was also run over by a 3/4 ton van when I was about 13. Hit the side of it while riding my bike (he turned in front of me) and slid underneath...ran over both my legs. I was up and walking around and just asked the cops to give me a ride home and they wouldn't...paramedics game and took my shoe off and I had a compound fracture. Remember seeing the bone sticking out of my foot and that was about it......

Had my Chevelle stall on the train tracks with the train coming. My two friends jumped out but I stayed in tryiing to get it restarted. It started back up with the train about 100 yards away. Weird experience.

Fell into an icy pond, my friends dad ran out and rescued me using a ladder.

Pretty sure my wife has tried to smother me on numerous occasions while sleeping. I lived through each one I think.

Think that is about it....

In high school, I was chilling in a masonry class when we had a substitute and book-work... I put my hands under my chair and was feeling along the underside of it... I felt a spider web, so I got up and turned the chair over to find the largest black widow I have ever seen in my life...

While fishing one time, I pretty much stepped right on top of a cottonmouth... Thankfully, he chose to lunge into the water instead of me...

I was indirectly hit by lightning once, while standing in water barefooted in my mom's basement... It hit about 50-75 yards away and lit my feet up like a strobe light, throwing me on my back...

I stuck the end of a phone cord into my mouth while the other end was still plugged into the socket... This was when I learned that phone lines use electricity too...

Out of boredom one Saturday morning as a kid, I stuck my finger into a lamp socket and turned on the switch... I had no idea it would shock me, but found out it would... I couldn't taste anything for the rest of the week...

I got my first shotgun when I was about 13... My dad got it for me for Xmas... It is a Russian make, and has a funky load/cock/fire action... Dad was going to show me how it worked, and mistakenly had the firing pin set to fire when the breach was closed... He had a shell in the barrell, closed the breach, and shot #8 shot through his living room wall and into the back of his shower... If I had been standing a mere 2 feet in a different direction, I would have been directly in front of the barrell...

Being born with asthma and crazy allergies, I have always been at risk for respiratory issues... I survived severe pneumonia twice before I was 5... Both episodes required lengthy hospital stays...

I fell into the Neuse River and almost got sucked under a fallen tree because of the strong post-rainstorm current...

That is all I can think of right now...

One where I had to be revived. Strange events led to it and my stupidity sealed the deal. I was reveived by a friend I went to HS with and he was filling in for our team's medic.

Plenty of others where I should have died but instead I fought and got rewarded...

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
