TheoHuxtable Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 The only one I can think of was when I was about 8 or 9 years old. I was in Summer Camp and we went to this water park just outside of L.A. called Wild Rivers. At the park there's this makeshift river that runs through the park that you can get in, either on intertubes or just yourself. Well I never liked the company of supervisors and always enjoyed doing stuff on my own, so I snuck away from the camp counselors and got in the river by myself without the intertubes. Well it was crowded as fuck with people on intertubes. So I swam through the river above and below water. This went on for about a good 15 minutes, until when I was underwater and tried to come up but couldn't because of the massive amounts of people and intertubes. And I'm weighing like 80 pounds, so me trying to push up for air beneath dozens of adults and teenagers is proving futile. I began to choke on water after I had been under water there for a good 30-40 seconds and thought it was over. Finally something told me to just come up one more time, and I did and was gasping for air. Don't know how it happened because it was still packed and crowded with people. Then I just climbed out of the river and layed down contemplating that whole experience for a good 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASH.UGT Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Ok this wasnt me it was my dad, We went out karting at this track 1 day with his kart and i was at the side of a track talking to 1 of my dads friends. I looked back at the track and the kart was flipped upside down on fire. I ran over and we tipped the kart back over and used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. My dad was semi conscous and had minor burns and went to hospital. The bad thing was th@ the kart has 2 engines either side and they have the petrol tanks on top. These could of blown up next to my dad at any point.:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cracked Ass Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Mine isn't very exciting, and barely qualifies. I was walking train tracks in Pittsburgh which I thought were freight only, meaning I'd hear a train coming at a good distance. I heard nothing, but for no good reason turned around and saw that I was 4 seconds from being offed by a quiet passenger train doing maybe 40, with the engine in back and a baggage car or something up front. I jumped off the tracks, said "whoa" and decided to educate myself better about trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excent it was in a "wave pool" .. The waves were pretty big at this point and whenever I would try to go up an intertube would hit me on the head and knock me back down to the bottom (it was a pretty deep pool).. I was scared out of my mind. after wards I didn't contemplate anything though, I just caught my breath got an intertube and layed in it for an hour.

Jackson Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Fell down the escalator at old street tube station. I remember hovering above them about to hit them and thinking "I'm going to die, i am actually going to die right now..." Then I was on the train platform and my friend was being an asshole.

Guest 40ozProphet Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Amphetamine overdose. I have high blood pressure and as I was so tweaked out I tried to measure how fast my heart was beating by keeping track of time and of how fast my heart was beating without the use of a clock. I measured around 220 beats per minute. I'm sure it was pretty off, but it was probably around 180. Had a gun pulled on me once, nothing went down though. *Once I binged on percocets and vicodins, found out that night I was allergic to opiates, laid down for 2 days because any time I even tried to sit up I would immediately vomit.
