Salam guys. Was just wondering how many times do you think, you've had a brush with death.
I for one remember a few. Like I was once electrocuted with a full 220volts by a new defected refrigerator (definitely not my preferred way to go :p) and yeah it was really suckass coulda easily killed me.

Another one was that i recently almost got bit by a snake in my neighborhood. It was dark and i was walking and i unwillingly walked real close to it, since i couldn't see much. The snake did hiss (probably trying to warn me) and sorta stood up but he thought the better of it and din attack. i just realized it was a snake when i looked back for the hissing sound.

So what are your stories? Ever stared death right in it's eyes?

I was soldering something 2 years ago while sitting on the floor. I dunno what happened but suddenly my hand got stuck to the iron part and I couldn't let go of it. It was burning + 220V. But I somehow let go of the soldering iron. My hand did not burned but I got that tikka smell off it for a few weeks lol. :( While the iron part was in my hands, I was sure that I will die because I was unable to let it go (as I couldn't do anything due to high current). But somehow I did. Maybe there was a fluctuation in the voltage due to which it dropped from my hand?

A running ceiling fan somehow detached and fell on me while I was asleep. But luckily, I was so sleepy that neither I nor my body gave a shit.

Some months back, we were going to Head Balloki and on the way our car went bam in a Corolla at 60 kph. No one was hurt as we reacted quickly and our Cultus' bumper and bonnet were badly damaged.

I lost control of my car in the middle of heavy traffic at 120 KPH once.. Made a turn too fast and suddenly saw a car 50ft in front, in the middle of the road that was not moving..
Swerved to the left to avoid that by inches, only to see another car 30ft up the road that was also not moving.. swerved to the right this time to avoid it.. Most stressful experience
I've had but I think the fact that I stayed calm and didn't slam on the brakes saved me from injury or worse

I once slipped from a motorcycle (with my friend who was driving) at 60kph in Phuket (Thailand). It was a hilly area with a 200ft+ drop on one side. Luckily I walked off with just a bruise on my arm.

I was once walking to school and the gas lines underneath the road went boom due to a buildup. The footpath got all cracked up and I thought it was a bomb and started running at speeds unknown to me. :p

Well, does having a loaded gun put on your chest/head count as one?
That doesn't count if you're from Karachi. :p

Lol, the Corolla our car hit also did not have a scratch. Our bumper hit the Corolla below its bumper and it did not have a single scratch.

I once had a very major and bad stomach ache and I went to take a dump...

It was hell and I had to apply pressure so hard during the whole time that I was automatically making weird noises and the stomach pain was so unbearable that it felt I was near death, I could also see a white light...

When I came back out, I saw both my parents standing outside in such a way that they were ready to come in, my father then said to me that they thought I was gone from the pain.. By gone they meant, dead, and my mother had a very frightened look on her face...

Near death experience for me -__-

1. Nearly drowned in a river when I was 12, slipped on a rock and fell into but managed to grab on to a rock and pull myself out because I fell into it near the bank.

2. Was unconscious for hours when I went to Alladin water park for the first time in Karachi. There was some water slide under construction and I had a habit of running off. I went down the slide all alone and was 6-7 at the time and the pool was around 4-5 ft or prob deeper. I went unconscious, woke up in a hospital 6 hours later and have been unable to breathe through 1 nostril since then.

3. Cousin was 1-2 and I was baby sitting him, neighbors asked me to play cricket and I took him along with me (no one else was in house to take care of him and I was playing right down the road from my house) we play with a hardball for the first time and I was a fielder, told my cousin to stand behind me the whole time to avoid being hit. He disobeyed me and was standing at my side for God knows how long. The ball comes flying towards him, I go down and get on one knee and shield him with my body taking a flying hard ball right to my spine. It hit me badly enough that I was in pain for weeks and it was only a few inches away from my head (roughly 3-4 inches) I got hit on the high part of my back)

4. 3-4 years ago was taking a rickshaw to meet some friends, rickshaw driver was driving fast and a motocyclist decides to duck the police and cross a one way street with his motorcycle along with him and go from one side to the other. The rickshaw unable to slow down hits him, I have an entire tool box and spare tire fall down on me as the rickshaw is sideways now. Have a serious head injury, one of the tools gave me a massive cut on the chest and a hammer fell inches away from my head (fell right infront of me and I managed to miss it by inches)

5. When my mom was working and brothers were in university I used to be alone at home for most of the day just me and a servant. I was eating food and I dropped a glass because it got slippery and a piece of it cut my finger pretty deep to where my whole hand got red in a minute I panicked and called for my servant to no answer, was only 13 or so and had no idea what to do. Ran to my bathroom and covered hand in towel and blood soon goes past the towel, I run to neighbors who I know are doctors. I gave door bells like crazy and passed out, woke up in their house with a stitched up finger.

6. Fell down a flight of stairs when I began to learn how to walk, my elder brother was a couple of years older than me and was afraid of the upstairs of our house because it was empty and he thought there are ghosts or some shit there (he was 4 I was 2 so it was justified) He takes me up with him to get one of his LEGO sets mom put away, in all his excitement he leaves me at the top of the stairs despite me calling for him. I decide to climb down on my own and slip. fractured arm , foot and hit my head pretty hard.

Yes these are all very real =p not making a single one up.

^ sounds like death is after him lol..final destination style.
lol last year I was doing my laundry on the machine and at the exact spot I was standing a few seconds ago a brick fell, (we were having some renovations done on the floor above) one of the workers slipped and accidentally knocked down a pile of it and one of them went a little too far =p. but yeah I learned how cheat the reaper now xD

and last month I was getting back to swimming and this fat bastard kid decided to do a canonball into the pool RIGHT as I am under the water and in his "landing spot" damn bastard nearly drowned me. Kid was EASILY 200+ =P
