Scratch

I almost broke my back on a trampoline after the afterbounce of another person.

It all happened in slow-mo...

I think the almighty lord of Pie saved me 

Story time!

I once went skiing in Vermont, USA, we were on our final run down this slope with a half pipe and a huge jump at the end.  I usually go up and down the half pipe then go around the jump, because it's huge and menacing.  This time it was snowing really hard, so while I'm going on the half-pipe snow is building up on my goggles, which I don't notice.  I finish the half-pipe, and suddenly the ground falls away; with my eyes almost covered I didn't know that I'd actually gone up the jump and soared off it.

Went fifteen to twenty feet in the air, (can't remember how high), landed on my back on a sheet of ice and smashed my sternum.  I couldn't breathe at all for a few minutes and was afraid I'd suffocate.  Got to the hospital, spent a week doing painful exercises to heal it and start walking again, and I'm good as new.  They told me my helmet buckle was what hit my sternum and fractured it, but if I wasn't wearing a helmet I could've broken my neck.  Yikes.

I shot a rocket, yes one i built. The parachute dint open, it went into a nose dive straight at me, it missed my by a couple inches

I nearly whacked my head off a table when I slipped and fell and I was crossing a road and a van came along to turn but didn't indicate so I thought he was going straight on. I crossed and the van turned as I was crossing and it nearly ran me over but I got across just in time!    Not really any serious near death experiences!!!    I also got hit in the head with a steel golf club! The biggest one I think it's a drive? I was fine though!

Uh... I ended up very badly ill when I was licked by a dog (I'm allergic and went blind).
And I dunno if risky surgery classes as near-death, but if so I had my ankle rebuilt and stuff - everyone at school underestimated the severity - my specialist said I might never walk again and the surgery had risks of fatality   
Say, my first Scratch topic was about it! In the wrong forum and spammy! Woot! C:
Oh, and I've passed out a few times. For a few minutes.
And earlier this year, Albertt911 may remember I was off school for a while, in hospital overnight because my organs swelled up so I was crippled with pain in my appendix 
Oh, and I nearly got hit by a car. And When I was in a cast from my surgery my crutches slipped on the wet floor and I wrecked my knee. 
Gah, might need ANOTHER pioneering surgery on both feet at the same time... wheelchair, here I come. D:

The doctors are just trying to scare you 

And yes i remember, i thought you had Pendisitus

Luckily they stitched it back on, but I'm not sure if it's near death...

1 - I Believe I Can Fly
When I was in the first grade, I was having a perfectly fun break. We were running and playing on-on. My friend Dylan had just been caught. Him being the fastest kid in my grade, naturally I start to panic. I look around me. Nothing. Then it hit me. The spectator's seats.They were there for sport matches. I run up, but some mean 7th grader tripped me. I fall through the air. Gregory, one of my friends, still can't believe the amount of front flips I did. Luckily, I fall on my butt. Not harm at all.

The flying was actually kinda fun 

2 - Those stupid cows!
I was on a schoolbus back home from a sports day at another school. It was about 11 o'clock. Everything was going smooth, me and some guys were goofing off. When suddenly we see something. Poachers! The bus suddenly gave an alarming lurch. The cows were so frightend that they were going haywire. A bull suddenly runs into the bus and hits me by my left shoulder. Pain. Just blind, pain. My shoulder is open, and the bull's horns are still in it.
I fainted.
Next thing I know, I'm in the hospital.
Everyone says I was yelling. And apparantly, so did the bull.
The marks are still in my shoulder. Everytime someone sees it now, they're like "Did you have a tatoo there?"

This was definitly NOT fun though 

3 - Also I had a freak lung virus when I was almost one.

What if you tilt your head foward and let the blood poor out?

What if you tilt your head BACK and let the blood pour IN?
