[ReThink]

Oh boy, where to begin.

1. Don’t know why drowning is so popular, but I’ve been pretty close to losing consciousness and have taken in a fair amount of lakewater trying to flip a small sailboat. My leg got caught in the main sheet and panicked pretty hard.
   
2. Drove down a single-lane highway over a drawbridge on my bike... against traffic. Tiny median, and cars sped INCHES from me to the point that each one almost sucked me into the lane. That’s was pretty stressful, and my adrenaline was pumping hard the whole time.
   
3. Brother and I once walked out to the center of a frozen lake, only to find that it wasn’t fully frozen, and the parts we stood on were not thick ice at all. The rocks we had been throwing could have actually killed us. We were  very lucky.
   
4. Not quite a near miss, but my entire family was driving back from picking up my brother somewhere when they were rear-ended by a drunk driver. Totaled the car, if he was going any faster.... yeah. They had offered for me to come along but I declined. Scary to think about either losing my family or almost dying.
   
5. Almost choked on a lifesaver alone in my room once. Thought I was done for, so I hit myself as hard as I could upwards into my chest, causing me to cough it out. Turns out almost choking to death makes them tear ducts flow.
   
6. Numerous instances of almost being hit by people trying to make red lights. Adrenaline is a helkuva drug.
