When Did You Think You Were Going To Die?

when did you genuinely think you were going to die what happened instead fell off a 70 foot cliff as I was tumbling down a voice inside my head said you are going to die and I accepted that time seemed to slow down and it was very peaceful then I hit the bottom and everything hurt and I had a broken back and wrist I'm ok now go your acceptance and the peaceful feeling are probably what saved you you are more likely to survive Falls when relaxed this is why a lot of drunk people fall off of balconies without a scratch I was parasailing with a group of random individuals and the guy driving the speedboat slowly came to a start he started yelling we ran out of gas my first thought was that once I hit the water this parachute was going to drag me down I started and buckling my harnesses the guy kept yelling we ran out of gas and I'm thinking yeah I get it I'm working on not drowning I get through about two buckles when he starts back up later I found out it was a prank and they all thought I was daft from not responding when all I was really concerned with was survival it's just a prank bro is utter bulls at times Lyme disease started out thinking I was having a panic attack then my heart started palpitating then I started to run sweat and my brain started to fog badly can't describe it much better than that thought I was having a heart attack or something ended up losing 15 pounds and three days from sweating sleeping 20 hours a day after 13 weeks on to buy 100 milligrams doxycycline and three months to recover I'm like 95% normal again I do not recommend Lyme disease as something to try combo I do not recommend Lyme disease as something to try sigh fine puts down tweezer holding the tick I was skiing at a resort and went out of the gates that said you may die I have plenty of backcountry experience and knew what I was doing problem was it was a complete whiteout on this peak and I got disoriented along with my two friends we ended up dropping on the backside of the mountain instead of dropping back to the resort we didn't get out till 10:00 p.m. we had to hike up a mountain to get out and get cell service for hell the snow was so deep we couldn't touch hard pack snow with 180 centimeters ski I had intense hypothermia and both friends got frostbite pretty good we actually thought we weren't going to make it and made a death video that I still have to this day my grandma was driving me to the train station a rainy evening on a winding road with one lane in each direction suddenly a large truck coming in the opposite direction has its trailer skid going 90 degrees on the front part of the truck and filling our whole Lane with a massive vehicle approaching at a combined speed of more than 100 miles per hour I just had time to think so this is how I died before my Grande somehow to count little car into the ditch and up on the road again at full speed completely bypassing the oncoming wall of death mind you this is Norway the ditch was deepened loose full of rocks and wet soil with trees and boulders everywhere that took a reaction time and wheel control worthy of a world-class rally driver I was just sitting wide-eyed and thumb struck in the passenger's seat staring at my 78 year old granny when I finally came to my senses enough to stutter her how the Frick did you do that she just shrugged a matter of fact had to go round Yesi or else we'd be squashed and never spoke of it again to this day I have literally no idea how she managed that and I never use you drive like my grandma as an insult indeed few are worthy of apt compliment common or way she's got WRC in her blood as a young teenager in the late eighties a friend and I were curious as to what would happen if you inhaled the gas used for Bunsen burners at school I think it was butane which can be fatal please no one try to recreate this anyway I started and took a couple of large breaths in started to feel light-headed then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay I'm feeling good lightheaded and smiling I go to reply to him but just as I'm about to hear a small tick sound like a clock and everything seemed to change very slightly I'm confused for a second then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay I didn't answer him from the first time obviously so I go to answer him and then click everything changes again only now I recognize it it's like my head twitched back into a position it was in three seconds ago I'm sitting there puzzled then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay yes I try immediately shouting but nothing comes out I try to make a fist and stamp my feet but I'm paralyzed then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay I'm now trying to shake my whole body screaming what the Frick is going on I try to stand then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay Frick back again what else to try I try answering no as this was now the case but nothing comes out then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay is this a joke how why it can't be what then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay silence then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay silence then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay silence then my friend looks over to me and says are you okay I've given up I sit there silently waiting for the question again but this time by even point two of a second longer than before I know it's different I look up and say yes he smiles back and grabs the rubber tube for a turn I put my hand out to stop him apparently no time passed from him asking the question and me replying and he only asked once Frick knows what happened I'm fine now Yao fell backwards down my grandpa's home elevator shaft for a split second I thought for some reason the elevator wasn't there and that I was about to fall all the way down and land on my back head on concrete wound up falling like three feet and landing on top of the elevator there was a shooting at my high school not much we could do except for go into lockdown and wait for the police to show up an awful four hours in a corner of the darkroom while we can hear crap going on just down the hall sounds misleading the police showed up within 15 or so minutes but our classroom wasn't evacuated for four or so hours I was scuba diving off the coast of Florida I was in roughly 6070 featuring of water when I got an insane McGrane I had never had a me grain before and haven't had one since I couldn't see straight my head felt like it was about to explode and I knew that I was about to throw up but there was a problem I was underwater my body sense that something was wrong when I was unresponsive and just floating along upside-down so he grabbed me and slowly ascended we had to stop to decompress so we didn't get the bends and as we were sitting at roughly 15 feet I started throwing up so here I am puking through my regulator and trying to breathe while essentially feeling like I was being spun around and hit in the head by Mike Tyson after what felt like an hour we finally hit the surface once we weren't underwater I Spit the regulator out off my mouth and continued to empty my stomach my buddy inflated my vest so I could just float on the surface and not have to swim he swam dragging me behind him a few hundred yards to the shore I laid on the shore for the next 45 minutes in full gear waiting for my head to recover and occasionally ralphing onto the beach next to me and that ladies and gents is why you always dive with a buddy TL DR got a me trained underwater good thing I dive with a buddy I know it should be a given that a diving buddy does this kind of thing for you but you have a good friend I was bouldering climbing without ropes at whor spends 40 in Alabama I was about 20 feet up and I'm almost to the top and there's no holds left to get over the top I stand there for a minute or so and I'm feeling around for a good hold and can't find anything then one of my legs starts to shake uncontrollably and I start to panic one of my friends was going up a different route and saw what was going on so he scrambled up to the top and reached over the edge to pull me up - just as he grabbed my hand my foot slipped off and he was able to hang on for just enough time to get my footing back and make it to the top probably wouldn't have killed me unless I landed really badly but I would have definitely broken both legs and probably some other bones if you're bouldering try to stand at ten feet and use a crash pad don't be stupid I broke up with my boyfriend and he pulled out a gun his intention was to shoot himself but he wasn't exactly being careful and I was scared he'd turned the gun on me his brother heard me yelling at him and called the police I ran out of the house before they arrived what the frick emotional people and guns man summit of Mt Baker at sunset the glacier on top had melted and it felt like movie quicksand up there I legitimately thought I'd sink and never be heard from again I ended up wading through the melt and the ice started to harden after the sunset made it down and avoided all crevasses this is why you should always start your climbs in the middle of the night kiddos heart attack and liver failure when I was 20 was genuinely pretty terrified about what might happen and how little control I seemed to have over my own body when I was little I was at Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party I got in the pulpit and somehow God stuck a line at the bottom I remember a bunch of other little kids being on top of me and laughing I couldn't breathe and I couldn't get out luckily some older kids saw what was going on and fished me out I was so relieved that I bolted back to where the adults were not even sure I thanked the kid who saved me wherever you are mysterious stranger thanks a lot I almost got shot when walking my dog I was outside and just enjoying the fresh air with my pop and then out of sudden a pickup truck chasing two dudes on a motorcycle comes around the corner dude in the truck pulls out a gun and starts shooting in the middle of the residential area my dog froze and wouldn't move and I knew I had to get out of there but I could let him alone so we were on the floor a window of an apartment building right behind me got hit by a bullet so close to my head turns out the men on the motorcycle had tried to mug a dude in the parking lot of the supermarket but then they found out that he was not a person you should make angry one dude got a bullet in his butt and fell of the bike the neighborhood cornered him and the police came and they took him away my dog is still scared shitless when he hears loud sounds on the street I was in the athan ammonia and when I went in my o2 saturation was at 80% eventually they diagnose it as pneumonia hook up metal antibiotics and leave it to start working however my oxygen had been low for a long time so I was weak from lack of oxygen and coughing my vision was cloudy my head was swimming and I was completely out of it and then I went into anaphylactic shock lochley I was already in the air so they were able to treat that right away but I laid their hands and throat swelling but unable to move or communicate a danger I saw a pickup truck going the wrong way on the interstate he was in my lane perhaps 100 yards away our closing speed had to be at least 100 miles per hour I did the world's fastest lane change and missed being killed by less than a second I was driving a 1974 Honda Civic and that car handled great in the split-second when we crossed time slowed I clearly saw the other drivers face he was an old man sitting hunched over the steering wheel he needed a shave I just kept driving shaking with a death grip on my steering wheel same thing happened here except he was in the left lane or I would be dead I didn't think anything of the lights coming right at me until they drove right by my door I was going to call 9-1-1 but about 30 seconds later I saw three sheriff's speeding after him I was on that cruise ship that got caught in that hurricane-strength storm at sea when the boat was listing at 40 degrees I was sure we would capsize I started going through pictures on my phone reminiscing on my life awaiting my death thankfully though the storm passed and I'm alive I was impaled in the upper leg in the back of a 10 acre pasture in the country barely missed whatever big artery is there longest run of my life back to the house so I could be driven to the hospital thought for sure I'd bleed out in the back of that pasture working construction on a pitched second-story roof a chainsaw through the roof sheeting which is made of plywood the sawdust starts cascading down the pitch of the roof right under my feet things get slippery I start to slide toward the edge still on my feet I'm surfing toward the edge now whether I like it or not I scramble for a better foothold but nothing stops me from sliding so here I am holding a running chainsaw and slipping toward the edge of the roof with no idea what's underneath as I approach the edge I think I can't land on this chainsaw as I reach the edge I throw the chainsaw as far as I can out into a field then look down at the ground for the split second before I go over the edge it's like everything is happening in slow motion I see piles at wood rebar cinder blocks and just your basic construction debris I see a clear spot about 10 feet from the foundation this is it at this point I'm going over period I make a controlled jump aiming for the spot with no debris two stories later I hit the ground exactly in that spot executes a perfect roll like I would if I took a spill on a skateboard and I'm back on my feet completely unhurt the chainsaw is on the ground 20 feet away still running a guy runs up to me asking if I was okay he saw it all happen he's amazed tells others they tell the superintendent the super calls my boss who makes me take the rest of the day off just in case TL DR fell off a two-story building with a running chainsaw executed somersaults survived completely unscathed thb he thought he was in a movie scene dude I don't know exactly what the technology is now but waiting to get results from a second HIV test six months after whatever encounter you had concerns about is just brutal waiting two weeks for the first one is bad enough I recognize that HIV doesn't necessarily kill you anymore but try convincing someone of that waiting to get their results when it was around 16 I was dating a pretty cool guy we had the same interests he was a bit older my parents liked him e.t.c e.t.c well with time I learned he had a bit of a temper and learned what to avoid doing in order not to make him mad up to this point he never actually hit me or anything just shoves and pinches stuff like that actually still have a little scar from when he burned me with a cig any normal person would have left by then but my younger self really believed to look for the good in people and had terrible self esteem anyways one day I snuck out of my house at 2:00 a.m. we were in the back of his truck making out and he tried to initiate frickin me being 16 and raised to be a guilty Catholic said no he gets pushy and I keep saying no he gets mad and puts his hands around my neck and just starts squeezing now I am a pretty chubby girl but he was much taller and bigger than me I was having trouble shoving him of me and I am struggled to breathe and I am getting a weird feeling in my head sort of like feeling dizzy and feeling like my eyes are bulging out but the whole time I am thinking this is it I should have left when I could the whole time we were parked in front of my neighbor's house neighbor must have thought it was sketchy and comes out bf season turns on the truck and just drives around before he tells me to get out and I end up walking home at like 3:00 in the morning never told my family and they still ask about him from time to time even though it's been like four or five years scary crap report him people like that just do it over and over again two different people got bronchitis but was too lazy to go to the doctor my lungs were super inflamed and I was having a hard time breathing and was just uncomfortable one time when I was home alone I went into this coughing fit that just wouldn't stop I coughed so much I threw up didn't even make it to the bathroom just on the garbage can in my living room then my breath got stuck I don't know how to explain it but whenever I tried to inhale I just couldn't it felt like the air just wasn't going down I honestly felt like I was going to die that day on my living room floor that was the wake-up call to go to the doctor when went there the doctor told me my lungs were super inflamed and I had really bad asthma it took a lot of inhalers and two rounds of antibiotic steroid pills and steroid shot on my butter finally feel better should have gone to the doctor right away was during a driving lesson I was driving down a residential Road and out of nowhere this guy in a small van just comes hurtling towards me at full speed at least 1020 miles per hour faster than the limit his van is slightly on my side of the road so he is gonna hit me and he is clearly not paying any attention to the road I could see his eyes were looking at somewhere around his radio and I just froze thankfully my driving instructor reacted quickly and sounded the horn to get his attention and the guy swerved at the last second onto the pavement good thing there were no people there and kept on going at the same speed down the road the bastard looking back it was obvious I was not going to die but when I was four or five or so my stepdad would hold a lit like to really I I close to my face and Lou off hitting me and there were a few times I genuinely believed I was going to die I used to live alone in a tiny apartment with only my cat for company one day I was golfing at the tele and scoffing strawberries at a ridiculous speed when suddenly I sucked one into my windpipe I have absolutely no idea how long it was stuck for logic tells me it can't have been more than thirty 40 seconds but it's true what they say everything slows down I was panicking a lot but weirdly also very aware of what was happening and what I needed to do it wasn't like when you almost crash your car and just think oh crap but more like there are things I must try in order to not die I guess that's your survival instinct but I never expected it to be so lucid anyway after much futile neck grabbing air calling and unsuccessful coughing retching most of which your body does automatically I just ran at my kitchen work surface my apartment was long thin and open-plan with a kitchenette at one end my dad used to jokingly call my kitchen my cooking shelf so I had a fairly decent run-up and somehow it worked to put it into perspective I've never had any Nicoll training not so much as a first-aid course even now I couldn't point at my own body and tell you where you should apply pressure all with what force if you had asked me on a normal day what I would do if I found myself alone and choking I would have probably shrugged and made a joke I have no freaking clue how the heck I managed to save my own life on that day pure luck I suppose I'd be really interested to know if anyone else has ever come this close to choking to death and if their experience was similar oh and as for what happened instead I ended up with the nastiest bruise across my upper abdomen and my throat aches for about two weeks actually run is probably an over-exaggeration I didn't run anywhere I just kind of flung myself into a piece of wood once when I smoked spice don't do that I lost my goddamn mind my heart was racing like crazy but I felt really cold and I couldn't tell if it was just actually cold where I was or if I had a low body temperature I sort of leaned over and cried silently while waiting to die having a panic attack while way too high on crap I knew nothing about eventually I guess I came down enough to calm down and go to sleep I woke up feeling depressed but okay my whole body aged like a mother sucker I couldn't breathe I kept gasping trying to breathe my hands were blue and I was feeling really sleepy my heart was pounding fluttering in my chest my vision started to go black and I went with it then they stabbed me with the EP pen I gasped and got a bit of air I kept gasping and getting bit so there my vision started to come back I went to the hospital for observation and that's how I almost died because of Bulls essential oils my coworker diffused man those kinds of people suck sinus barotrauma for about ten minutes I legitimately thought I was going to die happen on a plane out of nowhere I feel an excruciating pain on the inside and behind my eye socket felt like someone put an ice pick through my eye a million possibilities went through my head the most plausible that a blood vessel in my head exploded and I was going to die shortly via aneurysm thankfully the pain subsided and I google the symptoms turns out my sinus was blocked a take off and there was a massive pressure imbalance on the inside of my sinus in the cabin of the plan basically the air in my head started to expand without being able to escape sinus burrowed trauma irate zero stroke ten well here's my Tiffa that didn't happen today the mechanical pencils my dad got me for school back in middle school came with these little plastic end caps on the erasers they had tiny holes on the top that if you happen to blow through made a high-pitched whistling sound me being a dumb middle schooler kept making this thing whistle my friend made me laugh while the thing was inside my mouth so I inhaled it and the darn thing slipped past my vocal cords and fell all the way into one of my lungs I was pretty sure my lung was going to collapse because of the immense pain I was in my mom rushed me to the hospital and we luckily got it extracted swimming in the Gulf of Mexico I was caught in a Riptide I said Frick you Poseidon and kept swimming I know you're supposed to swim parallel but panic and adrenaline from thinking you're about to drown makes you not think straight the only thing that went through my mind was just keep swimming this isn't going to be the end of you when I got to the beach I just frickin collapsed had I been out there like a minute or two longer I'm sure I would have been so tired I would have just given up it took about half an hour for the 100-yard walk to the car so I was deployed to Kabul on one of my deployments doing PSD I was the TC short gun of the LED truck which was just an armored suburban Kabul is mostly seifish most of the time as there is a massive asar presence there we were driving down the main road and an Afghan police convoy posed in front of us they are driving Toyota pickup truck with DSH case the russian contemporary of the point 5 0 Cal machine gun mounted in the back their rear truck is about 20 feet in front of my truck the Afghan gunner swings his DShK around points it right at me and racks around into it the bullets from those machine guns would cut through our truck like paper I pretty much though I was about to get ripped to shreds without even being able to shoot back the Afghan then just looks right at me smiles and waves then his convoy speeds off I've been shot at a number of times been there thankfully poorly placed IEDs and other types of things but at least in those cases I knew what was happening and could fight back when someone points a machine gun that's capable of taking down aircraft at you from 20 feet away there isn't crap you can do about it it was just a prank bro being held up at gunpoint before because I naively answered the door for someone he wanted all my money which to his disappointment was in the bank because it was 2003 and I'm not a freaking pirate to keep gold hidden in a chest anyway I came to terms with the fact I was going to die because he was getting more agitated and I could tell I was at the end of the line with him decided I had a good run and I'd go out fighting so I grabbed his gun and tried fighting him off he slammed me to the ground got his gun back somehow and pistol-whipped me pretty good on the head I managed to get away from him and run to the kitchen to grab a chef's knife he tried to shoot but the gun jammed at that point he had a useless weapon and I had a footlong intimidating-looking knife he ran out and I called the police and headed to the hospital to get stitches and staples across my head which were luckily in my hairline so you can't see the scars even though I came to terms with dying it was still pretty scary hearing the gun clicked anyway it wasn't a big life-changing event for a little bit I felt like I had a new perspective on life but then I settled back into my same routine I heard before panic attacks they are freaking terrifying in that moment you are going to die your heart is banging in your chest it hurts you feel dizzy you feel sick that's it you're going to die lay there in bed or on the floor phone next to you contemplating calling 999 waiting for the massive pain in your chest - you're convinced will happen as your heart finally gives in crying god forbid it happens in public close your eyes call somebody take a diazepam practice your deep breathing you're alive but now you're scared thinking about when the next one might be frick anxiety frit panic disorder I had one of my worst panic attacks on an airplane I actually hit my Help button thinking that my heart was going to give out one of the attendants brought me a cool damp rag to put on the back of my neck to try and help relax me she checked on me the rest of the flight I was incredibly lucky she was there was driving on a back road not real fast was going down a hill at the bottom was a curve I hit a patch of ice I turned the wheel but the car kept going straight towards a very steep drop-off that I couldn't see the bottom car got hung up on the edge and I was fine walking in the woods in Norway by myself I came to a clearing where a lot of trees had been cut down and just the stumps were left I remember having this awful that something was off in retrospect I was probably smelling something I wasn't consciously aware off and instinct was kicking in I stopped and suddenly one of the tree stumps lifts up its head and looks at me about 25 metres away this huge bull elk moose is looking at me I did exactly the wrong thing which is looking right back at it straight in the eye which in their world is the equivalent of yet what I'm here to bang your ladies bro he starts giving me all the warning signs stamping shaking his head and bucking his version of seriously dude freak off I'm not into you being in my spot at all but I didn't move I just stared at him my bag was about 25 kilos and fully strapped on to me so I wasn't exactly agile but more than anything I was ducking terrified I don't think I really understood the term frozen with fear until then the funny thing about mousse is when they are passive they look quite funny droopy faces plotting movement etc when they're angry they totally change their back suddenly seem sharp their antlers look an awful lot more like battering rams suddenly the standoff ended when this elk just explodes towards me bear in mind a full-grown make weighs about 1500 pounds that's about as much as a small car and can run at 35 miles per hour and I like a freaking idiot just stand there with no control over my legs and nothing but static in my head about four meters from me he comes to a stop massive and horrifying just gesturing that he's going to trample me suddenly my feet come back to me and I start stumbling backwards the tree line was only a few meters behind me and I knew I'd be safer in there they can't move quite so well in the trees so I walk back through the trees the moose watching me the entire way until I'm gone at which point I basically collapse turns out the moves had done something called a dummy charge they go for you and decide in that moment if it's going all the way or not thank Frick I was too scared to move the elk thought I was challenging it and backing myself in reality of course I was just terrified it's a weird feeling being so completely helpless in the face of something so completely overwhelmingly powerful letting her decide what happens to you based on nothing I got very very lucky TL DR got charged by a moose it mistook my fear for a stand and left it if you are new to the channel you can subscribe I publish new videos every day until then check another video [Music] bye for now
