I once fainted while sitting on a wall. I managed to land on my head from a 7-8ft drop onto concrete and broken glass, but survived. I reckon that if I was conscious for it, I would have tensed up and broken my neck

yes, but if you had been conscious, would you have fallen off the wall?

Oh and i stopped breathing when i was a few months old... happened twice! Strange due to the length of time i was not breathing doctors say i would have grown up to be a dwarf and pigeon chested, Im 6"3 and iv a posture like a pencil!

I once watched the sex in the city movie. Twice. In a row. Not on purpose.

How I escaped with my life, i'll never know.

Ruu_Old · 21-12-2008 04:07PM

How much is your life insurance policy, Biggins, and who in their right minds issued you one? :eek:

Car crash when I was a wee 5 year old, I know I shouldn't have been behind the wheel.

Walked through Rathmines late one night back in the '90s. Turned the corner and there was a group of guys standing in silence looking at me. One of them had a machine gun poking out of their coat. Kept my mouth shut and kept walking - not sure what they were up to but I was the only person in the area.

Let me put it this way, lol, the parents had an insurance policy out in my name as well as my first wife who had one on me.

The wife wife didn't last but I did. Go figure!

Odysseus · 21-12-2008 04:17PM

Yeah I have a few life experiences that nearly brought it to an end, but that's what makes life so much more interesting. Each experience I would classify as a life defining moment, you look at life a tad difference after being close to death.

Caliden · 21-12-2008 04:17PM

Car crash when I was 6. Was in the backseat and there were no seatbelts.
If I wasnt sleeping across the seat I would have gone out the window. Smashed my face off one of the front seats and got a wicked battle scar for my troubles

HouseHippo · 21-12-2008 04:26PM

A T.V fell on me when I was 5 crushed my entire body,I escaped unharmed

Shot at

Almost fell of the side of a really high ledge.

Oh and not to forget I almost drank myself to death on what we call a reverse Jagerbomb, which is a Pint,yes a pint of Jager and a shot of redbull which we replaced with Mickey Finns.

21-12-2008 04:27PM

Lots of times.

Sat on top of a 3 storey apartment block during a lightning storm. At one point it was a mile away. But damn, it was the best view.

Fell headfirst off a pier that was a 20foot drop when the tied was out. Only managed to grab on to a rope 5foot from the bottom, ripping the **** out of my hands as I slid down it

Narrowly missed getting my head chopped off by a passing truck. I was wearing cycling shoes that clicked into the peddle and hadn't gotten the hang of taking them out so instead of trying to balance, i fell sidewards.

Skidded off a bike on a wet road, crossing through 2 lanes on my back before banging into a kerb. Luckily there were no cars as the road was quiet then.

Had a few fireworks explode beside me because whoever planted them put them in too deep, so instead of going up, just stayed there and went BOOM.

Probably a lot more.

Nearly got decapitated by a Dublin Bus mirror.
Electrocuted in Lanzarote.
Nearly fell off the roof in Hume House when I was working for fm104.
Skidded the car sideways towards an oncoing truck. Managed to get it back!

Woman pulled out in front of me on my motorbike and i smacked straight into her. Got the 3rd circle on the audi sign. Luckily went over the car rather than into it.

Was onlz told this recently. Fell off scaffolding when i was about 6, went backwards onto my head. I can remember falling, cant remember the fact that i was out for the next 8 hours. I thought id never been knocked out until my father corrected me!

21-12-2008 04:32PM

Man, I thought I was hardcore

jester77 · 21-12-2008 04:35PM

Drunk one night, pissing in a neighbours garden. Guy runs out and chases me and said he would fu*kin kill me if he caught me again. I've avoided that garden since!

21-12-2008 04:44PM

Mate of mine decided it would be a good idea to scale a hotel balcony.
We were absolutely plastered he scaled first and then I followed ,I slipped and my mate casually looked behind him and stuck his hand out.
I'm certain the next mornin it was about five stories up. We never got into the girls inside ,we just got kicked out by security.

Also ,one night while driving with mates on some back roads I drove across a major national road.
Didn't realise until one of the mates mentioned it :eek:,turned back only to meet 40FT lorries driving past:(,very close call.

FlutterinBantam · 21-12-2008 04:51PM

I was hoping it was going to be a story about you being on a toilet that was rigged with a bomb like out of lethal weapon.

Disappointed now

Lightweight.

Last year I had a party in my room in college at which quite a few Boardsies were present. A certain boards.ie user drank nine cans of Polish piss, "a significant amount" of vodka, and then downed half a litre of my Jaeger.

The photos were hilarious. The vomit I had to hoover up the next morning wasn't so much fun. But he was grand.

when i was a kid I was chased down a country lane by a herd of pissed off cows. I was a few feet from being trampled to death in the stampede

Judging from this list Louth is the most dangerous place on Earth.

Myself and my brother had a Doberman and an Alsation set on us in a farmers field when we were younger. My brother was a little faster and I had the dogs snapping at my heals while I was running full pelt.

All that was going though my mind was dogs can only run fast for short periods. Managed to loose them after about half a mile. Scariest experience of my life.

When I was younger I went on a carnival type ride in an American theme park. The compartment fit two so my brother sat behind me. There was no seat belts or straps or anything like that and when the ride went upside down (around a hundred feet up in the air) I nearly fell out of the window but my brother grabbed me and pulled me back in. Scared the sh*t out of me!

Have you ever NEARLY been killed?
