I drove my dirtbike off of a cliff when I was 17 and shattered my collarbone into pieces. I was inches from landing with my head pointed downwards. Would have broke my neck and I would have rather been dead then unable to walk.

Was surfing out at San Onofre about two years back. A 18 foot Tiger Shark swam up and took a chunk out of my board. If I would have been bitten two miles off shore i would have died certainly.

Was in a Mini Cooper that flipped three years back with a friend. Nobody was hurt. Other then that just adrenaline spikes of fear.

There have been quite a few incidents, but the one that really stands out for me was when I was 18 driving around with 3 friends near Kenosha WI after a big snow. I was in the passenger seat and we were at a 4-Way stop sign just pulling across the road when out of the corner of my eye I saw headlights coming right at us. I felt the hit and that was all I remember until I woke up about a minute later. We were up over a bank of snow and when I looked around I saw the car that hit us still spinning down the street. I looked to my left and saw the driver slumped over the steering wheel and checked for the two passengers in the back. There was only one. I got out of the car and could hear some moaning in the distance so I followed. I found my friend who had busted through the back window and was thrown about 50 ft with a head gash from his forehead to the back of his skull. I was so enraged I started running for the 2 drunk ****ers that hit us, but just as I was about to reach them the EMT's and police arrived and had to subdue me.

Pictures of the wreck showed the drivers side of the car we were in totally crushed, and the front passenger seat where I was sitting looked untouched. 2 drunk Navy Service men from GLNB (nearby) had T-Boned us doing about 50 mph. No one was killed, but all 3 of my friends were in critical condition. My Guardian Angel was with me that night.

WTF dude?

I was in Christchurch, I had been there for a year and a half. In September we had a very strong earthquake. A few things got broken and we had a couple of decent aftershocks. Fast forwarding to February 22nd: I was living in the CBD and had moved into a 120 year old house. It was 12.40pm and I stood up to go get some milk from the dairy but suddenly my friend Skype'd me so I sat back down to chat to him. It turns to 12.51pm and we had a really violent earthquake, I was screaming, part of the house got damaged in my room and I seriously though I was going to die. I was like jelly and my flatmate kicked down the door so he could get to me out (basically all my furniture had fell apart from my bed which I was sitting on). I definitely felt the fight or flight experience. So I get out of the house and across the road I see that two of the identical flats had been totalled. I then see the dairy that I was going to go to and it had been completely flattened. I legitimately thought I would have been crushed inside it.

My story is really going to make people dislike me but it was a valuable lesson I learned and I haven't done it since.

About three years ago my cousin had his 21st birthday. Myself and a friend took him to New York City to get smashed and smashed we got. The night included getting kicked out of bars, buying drugs we had no intent on doing, and vomiting on sidewalks and out of taxi cabs. Last thing I remember of that night was getting off the train in Hoboken around 4:30 in the morning.

I woke up in my bed. My car was on the front lawn. I called my cousin and he said that everybody was too drunk to drive but that I insisted on driving. I live about 20-30 minutes from Hoboken. I could have killed myself, the two in my car and anybody in my path.

I'm still ashamed of myself but like I said, I learned a valuable lesson.

What the **** man, I am appalled.
Why would you buy drugs that you didn't intend to use?

^lol.


I *almost* got taken out by an ambulance while skateboarding once. I was going down a hill and heard it but thought it was going down a street behind me. Halfway across an intersection and it clipped the back part of my board, threw me back like ten feet and I slapped my head on the concrete. Hurt like a bitch but I was fine and managed to get back on my feet in a minute. I suppose if the ambulance did hit I might've had a pretty good chance but still, scared the hell outta me.

I've never done or had any intention of doing coke but that didn't stop me from purchasing a dimebag worth.
