Near death experiences

So less than an hour ago I got my prescription (Seroquel) from super one and was crossing a busy street for the mall to get a case for my cell phone. So all the cars in one lane were stopped at a stop sign. My plan was to run to the center of the street and wait for a clear coast in the other busy lanes. Well the truck in front of me slowed down to almost a stop, so to not keep him/her waiting, I began to dash to the other side. I stopped dead in my tracks when a blue vehicle came flying past him.
Now, if that blue vehicle had been a second later I wouldn't have stopped and would have gone rushing in front of him. Without lightning quick reaction speed, I'd have gotten hit. That is the closest I've come to getting hit by a car and I'll be very careful jay walking unless the street is remarkably clear. Unless I want to make a living doing wheelchair porn.
This summer, (27th of July), I was helping friends sell products at a market in Rochester MN. It was hot and humid, so when things weren't busy I went to a stream nearby, stripped down to my boxers, and went swimming. The rapids from a nearby small irrigation damn would push me down the stream which was fun. I began to cross the river from the otherside and instead of being pushed down I got sucked in. I tried to swim frantically in all directions but I could go a certain distance only to be pushed back to the same place. I called in vain for help and was ready to meet my maker, treading rough water and exhausted.
Eventually I began to go under the water and kick off the rocks. At this time I was having fun and no longer scared of death. Eventually I got far enough away. To my pleasant surprise, the lucky rapids were pushing me away. I still had no control as they pushed me under a bridge into larger rapids. I thought, "here we go again, i'm fucked".
I made it shortly to a sand bank. When I stood up, my eyesight was extremely blurred, had a splitting headache, felt sick (like throwing up), and could barely walk. This tells me that oxygen deprivation and exhaustion probably weren't far from casing loss of consciousness and claiming my life.
Don't ever drowned!
It sucks ass!
Have you ever had a near death experience?
