Reading the near death experience thread made me curious to know if anyone else has come close to death?
Maybe surviving a car accident, near misses, emergency landings, illnesses etc.
The one occasion i can remember clearly was when i was up the top of a very large hill in Yorkshire. There was a Gail force wind blowing.
Anyway i had found this massive fossil, so i decided i was going to lug it back down to the bottom. To get back down again i had to walk along a long thin path, on the one side of me were razor sharp rocks (and the Gail force wind) on the other was a 100 foot drop (with more jagged rocks). About half way along a very heavy gust of wind knock me sideways, i stumbled and the large rock in my backpack, wind and gravity tipped me sideways over the edge. Luckily a couple of friends were fast enough to grab one of my arms and a bit of clothing. Fortunately i had gone to the loo before i left for the walk otherwise i'm sure i would have **** myself.
