Getting robbed and jumped under the Manhattan Bridge while walking my GF at the time to the subway station. Four guys, one with a bat, one with a 2x4, one with a glass bottle and I forget what the last guy was holding. Noticed the guys following us and told my GF to run, I grabbed a bottle off the street and cracked it open on the sidewalk. They engaged me I stabbed one in the leg and it was lights out after that. I woke up in the hospital two days later with my head stitched at multiple locations, a broken collar bone, broken hand and cracked rib. The only good thing that happened was my ex was able to run away unharmed and get police and an ambulance on the scene quickly. That was the worst day of my life.

Coming back from kirkwood on the 2 lane road with ice and snow all over the road. Someone decided to go around the snow plow in the opposite lane of us, as well as 3 cars in front of that. At that point we were going head on with this guy at about 30-35 mph. My brother being the inexperienced driver he was, decides to lock up the brakes rather than downshift, sending us sideways into the snow plow which was coming right for us. My brother then makes another mistake and over corrects to try and get back in our lane, well... We got back into the lane, and then some. So now were headin sidewas off the side of the freeway with a 50 foot hill and a creek at the bottom. We end up sliding off the freeway right on to the crest of the Down slope of the hill, sideways once again haha. About this time I'm holding tHe "oh ****" handle preparing to roll down this mountain when all the sudden we come to a very sudden harsh stop, both right wheels lift off the ground and then settle down. We eneded up hitting a pretty large boulder with the driver side running board. So now were sitting, looking down hill, Our jeans full of digested food, and cofortably sitting on 3 wheels. We ended up stopping traffic and having a f350 diesel pull us out who almost ended up slipping off the mountain becaus of all the ice. Never saw the ******* who cut us off after that, I'm sure he saw the whole Thing go down in his rearview tho.

Watching my 20 month old son have a febrile seizure and turn blue was the most scared I've ever been in my life.
The scariest thing that ever happened to *me* was in 1991. I was tripping hard on acid, at the Cliff House. I followed my friends off of a walkway and onto some rocks over the ocean, and when I put my hands on the rocks, it felt like they were sinking in and I looked down to see waves crashing on the rocks. I must have clung to the damn rock for 3 or 4 minutes with my friends telling me to hurry up...

back in 2003 i caught a guy poaching deer off the county road by cache creek(the river area not casino lol) he was about 125yrds away. i yelled at him and he shot at me,hitting me in the waste. lucky for me he was 1)shooting a .22 2) a bad shot 3)i was wearing a leatherman. the bullet hit the leatherman causing a super gnarly bruise. i returned fire with my .45 hitting his truck as he drove away.
ive had more than one scary incident at work and all were close calls.
most recently im currently going through some really really nasty crap that leaves me scared everyday i wake up.

Was at the Russian River with a bunch of Church People, when I used to attend Church. We were canoeing down, and stopped over a beach area for some lunch. I wadded out into the water a bit, on the surface the water was slow and calm, but the sand at my feet started sinking and drifting away. I didn't panic at first but saw I was getting further and further away from shore. And not being a strong swimmer, with no vest on, I tried walking back but the sand was like quick sand, finally I am up my neck in water trying to swim back, but the sand won't let me feet go. I can't yell because half my head is submerged. I can see the people looking at me, but no one doing anything. For what felt like an eternity, I swam and swam until finally I was flopping on the sand, breathing like I never breathed before. No one even knew what had happened.
