Being born, umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. Doctors told my mom I would wither die or have severe brain injury.

Surgery and was allergic to the anesthetic. Couldn't think straight and was puking for hours afterward. Doctor said I was lucky to have woken up at all.

Dove into a lake playing catch with a football. Jumped off the dock, the football was almost out of reach and I tumbled head first to get it. Head found a brick on the sand bottom. Out cold and a friend pulled me up and out of the water.

Thrown from a horse. Horse stopped on a dime from full gallop. I did not. Flew to within few inches of a horse trailer. Only broke my arm.

Friends switched front to back seat while I was driving 75 mph on a freeway in heavy traffic. One friend fell in my lap. Cue what should have been a catastrophic crash but ended up with a total fluke of managing to not hit other cars and eventually get control without incident.

Those are probably my top 5, but there are plenty more. Hit in the temple with a baseball from a line drive. One of my dad's close friends died from the same.
