I got my arm trapped in the rail of a swimming pool at such an angle that I couldn't get my head above the surface of the water. It was only 90 seconds, but 90 seconds a long time when you're not expecting to suddenly have to hold your breath.
It didn't really change the way I live my life. Although it occurs to me that I don't swim any more. And I used to love to swim.
Oh, that reminds me of this time I was walking my horse on her lead back to the pasture. Somehow she stepped on my foot, but not straight down on the top of my foot, she managed to step on the outside side of it, if you can imagine what I'm describing. So my foot is pinned in a terribly painful way under a 1,000 lb + horse and it's also causing an extreme amount of twisting and pain in my knee from the angle.
I'm screaming at the stupid horse, waving my arms at her to try to scare her away, hitting her with the lead, pushing on her as much as I could in that position....and she WILL NOT move!! I was all alone and it was freezing outside, I didn't know how long I'd be there!!
I couldn't believe it!! Especially since this horse was NOT the type to stnad still at ANY time if she thought she could get away!! At the moment, I really had no idea what the hell to do, I was doing everything I could think of. luckily a little while later my dad came around the side of the barn and saw me and came and helped me.
Being stuck in a really, really bad spot is soooo scary!!
Now that I think about it I've had quite a few deadly run-in's with horses and cows as a kid!
Has anyone had a near death experience?
