Twice, but my quick reactions saved me both times.

One was high up on some scaffolding which I almost fell off and the other was running out in front of a bus.

[Morgan.]

My bus stop is over the road from my house and it's a main road so always busy. Anyway basically I'd checked it was safe to cross and everything so started walking and this car came speeding out of nowhere. the road is on top of a hil so I hadn't seen him at the bottom. I literally just froze in the road because I had no idea what to do and the car managed to stop literally centimetres in front of me. Terrifying.

YES

In high school during baseball practice someone hit the ball really far so I was going back to catch it and I went all the way back to where the track/gymnastics/etc. team were practicing throwing those spears (idk what you call them exactly). It NEARLY struck me in the head, I felt it graze right by me with a gust of wind.

I was so focused on going to catch the ball that I didn't hear/realize people were yelling for me to stop. If it struck me in the head I would've been very injured if not dead.

There was one field/track connected altogether in my high school but idk why they had those people practicing at the same time as a baseball practice was going on all the time. It's really dangerous!

Also a possible car incident similar to Morgan's but for me I wasn't paying attention to the road as I was talking to someone. I went to cross and this car sped past me and the right side mirror grazed my arm / shirt sleeve.

Yeah in a way I did remember years ago the july london bombings

Well my year at school had booked to go to london on that day and one of the activities was to go on the london underground. A few days before the trip was cancelled to this day i still dont know why. But then when i saw on the news what had happened the day we were supposed to be in that location it terrified me

Granted we might have not been there at that exact moment but we could have been

My heart goes out to those thay sadly were there at that moment

At the traffic light, when our bus was still, a van, with a drunk driver almost collided into our bus.

Thank god our bus driver managed to notice it and tried to drive away, the van hit the back of the bus and caused some damage, though all of us were at the front so it didn’t matter.

Though imagine if our bus driver didn’t come to his senses...

Plus the van driver was arrested on drunk driving but I never really knew what happened since then...

Discuss.

Nearly drowned at the beach. Was pulled up by my friend after stepping into an underwater drop when already up to my neck in the sea. She had a rubber ring on - I didn’t and she pulled me back. Never liked deep water after that.

I was stabbed in Year 10.

I almost stuck a fork down the toaster

I suppose the closest I've ever been was when I was younger, I swam under some rocks which were below the surface, ended up getting lost among them and struggled to find my way back to open water. I was stuck underneath for about two and a half minutes and had a panic attack once I eventually reached the surface.
