a few times

several dozen times

Yeah.

I was WAY above the neighbor's two story house roof. I think probably well above three stories up. But no one ever raked the leaves or branches or debris from under that tree, so all that I got was a broken

leg and a bad concussion. I definitely could have died if I that tall pile of leaves hadn't broken my fall

and I drowned in a lake, had to be rescesitated, was gone to the point that I wasn't breathing when they pulled me out (sink hole pulled me under)

there were more. I was definitely reckless as a kid

i once crossed a bridge, 100 feet over a river, under the bridge

then when we were on the other side, decided to cross back.. through the river. while the tide was raising. i almost went with the current.

yeah, it's a wonder so many of us are still here, huh?

i won't list all the rest but yeah, laws of chaos are mysterious.

At least a few times... I was a competitive triathlete.

yes

I nearly drowned once - caught in weeds that held me under water. My brother saved me. After my surgery, twice.

I was on a third floor balcony with some friends when the steel L brackets that were holding the concrete slab in place (apparently the balconies were an 'addition') bent about 35% the wrong direction

Yeah, I remember at least one of the surgical complications, when Gidge shared it and then your recount of it afterwards Cajsa

so glad you dodged those bullets, all of you!

No. Never.

Not even close.

Yes i almost died at my birth and then later by a roof avalanche

rolled my car twice, as in it went over 2x, when i got ran off the road at 16, a fire when i was about 6 months old, and the time i was surfing in my 20s when my board got a bite taken out of it

Xonxy: fortunately it was just an exploratory taste/nibble, not a full on speed attack.. i was waiting on a wave and everything was up front, i very quickly pulled everything up onto the board

waited for it to let go and swim away... i think i broke the water speed record getting back to shore.. i gave up surfing, sold my board and wet suit the next week

fiannaidora: THIS IS MY WORST FEAR OMG WHAT HAPPENED??

and no, I've always been very careful in my recklessness.
