Well have you? They are pretty frightning after it's actually happened.

I nearly died the other day in the safety of my own home. I was bouncing around on a bed which had been set up on my living room floor like an idiot. Then my head hit something which was dangling and I realised my head had nearly hit a fan on the roof rotating at a VERY high speed.

I also nearly died in many others ways but I forgot how.

Keep safe & don't die kids.

NEver really any near death ones...

heres a few moments though...

stuck my hand in a gas heater when i was about 2 years old. Dont remember it, but the scar on my hand will remind me for the rest of my life to never stick it in a gas heater. simple eh?

Had a few moments where i've stuck a plug into a one of those 4 way sockets and sparks have flown out and all the electric goes out in the house. I'm pretty scared of plugging things in these days...

When i was a baby 3 weeks old, the doctors found out i had a rare Stomach bone disease that prevented me from digesting food. They performed surgery on me while i was still awake. It probaly wasn't near death but it is the closest i have been to it.

Talking of electricity, has anybody touched those electric fences that they have around fields to stop horses/cows/gippies escaping?

I lent over a fence a while ago and got an amazing shock! It makes your whole boddy just go into a giant spazm...

lol, sorry, body...

Uh?

What underground line has a tree growing on it?

I only ever got clonked round the head by a train door on the Central line in London, it really did hurt, has anybody actually seen how low they come down?!?!

It's like curved towards the top and as it closed really quickly I just felt a rather large thump on my head.
