You are probably in more danger riding a bus than in that situation.

On a related note, I think the closest I ever came to dying was everytime I rode a bus in the mountains in Costa Rica.

ah that reminds me, ditto for me, riding in a van from Malaysia to Thailand. I think he might have been smugling something (though I thought it would be going the other way). Dude was drivin fukin crazy

Wow, thats amazing. How does this affect your every day life? Sorry if I'm probing, but I can't imagine shaking three days of staring at a machine that controls my life, then having someone elses heart stuffed in my chest.

Its been almost 6 years. The most obvious way that it affects my everyday life is that I take medications everyday so that my immune system doesn't attack the heart. But in terms of my outlook on life, I guess I just always just feel that [censored] can happen anytime so I might as well enjoy life while I still can and be grateful for what I have.

My brother and I got got in a rip current surfing once and didn't even notice any thing happened till about 5 minutes after. We noticed we were about a mile and half off shore instead of 300 yards or so and hauled it back in. It's creepy out in deep ocean on just a board.

OMG YES!!!! But I was alone, so far out, and my brother was near the surf. I kept yelling for him to come get me, being 7 and not exactly sure what to do, I needed help. Finally after a min he started to paddle out and get me. Not to mention this was big surf season. Holy crap it's hard not to get pounded by waves when you're 7.

Learned my lesson. Respect the Ocean....

In Zambia, I once got a BJ from an hooker without a condom... Scares me still, actually.

I've been lucky, really. Only major thing was a near hit by an ongoing ambulance that was overtaking a car, almost ramming in to me in a head-on collision.

I got mugged in Aruba like 2 weeks ago. I'm soo glad that they did not have a knife on them, or it's likely I would not be here.
