Have you ever been close to death and how did it feel?

When I was 12 years old we were with family in one minor skiing center, I was going up with the skii-lift but when I was supposed to get out of it my jacket got stuck. The lift started drag me fast to the big iron pillar since i was pretty light. They stopped the lift just before I hitted the pillar, if that wouldent have happened I would most likely be dead now.

Still 10 years later I remember exactly my thoughts when it was dragging me on land.

"This is it and mommy I love you" then tears came to my eyes, no big white light or anything else cool.

I havent udes ski lift after that.

Dude I couldn't get off once and rode it ALL the way back down and ALL the way back up again. It sucked, but I didn't almost die.

When I was 17 I hit a deer on my motorcycle at about 65mph.

My final thoughts before it hit was WTF are those lights coming at me, followed immediately by OH [censored], A DEER.

This is really stretching it when it comes to a 'near-death' experience.

My dad was dead for 15 minutes while having open heart surgery. He saw... nothing. No lights, no nothing.

If he was religious at all before that, that kinda killed it for him.

when i was 17 i was coming home from a baseball showcase in brenham texas (with my parents) when a guy on the other side of the highway fell asleep and drove of the road down into the median(about a 20 foot wide grassy area for you non-texans). my father see's him and starts to slow down, the car is coming at an angle toward us, then when it hits our side of the highway the car is propelled in the air (it hit a 3 or 4 inch raise that seperated the highway and median). the car was in the air and headed toward the front driver side corner horizontally in the direction toward the back corner passenger side (i know that must sound confusing), so my dad swerves the car to the far left of the highway and floors it underneath the car, back of the propelled car crushed the passenger side of our car (my mom needed about 30 stitches from the broken glass) and landed on top of the car next to us killing a husband and pregnant wife. it was the most horrific experience in my life so far, though i know it doesnt compare to some of the ordeals people have endured its all i got.

When I was 4 I fell into a swimming pool when no one was around. The building super happened to wander out and he rescued me.

It felt wet.
