During my early teens I was knocked unconscious several times. A few friends and I used to go to a disused quarry, I was standing on the edge when the portion I was on collapsed, I managed to jump to safety before it fell but I haven't been back there and I don't plan to. When I was 12 I fell nearly 25ft out of a tree and I have a scar that runs down the side of my stomach from that incident. 7 years later I now go downhill cycling which to my knowledge, together with tombstoning and base jumping is one of the most dangerous sports out there. Adrenaline is definitely worth risking life and limb, literally, I've broken 16 bones to date and dislocated my shoulder 3 times, but the feeling of flying down a mountain on something with two wheels and no engine is immense!
Has anyone had a near death experience?
