Oh god dont even get me started.... I really shouldnt be here right now. So many times in life when I should've been killed its not even funny.
One time rock climbing I was going free style (No harness), and I was... I have no idea how high anymore, I heard a clicking above me. I looked up and there was a cluster of rocks falling toward me. I braced my self, and one hit me on my right hand, and I almost lost my grip, one on the top of my back, one on my right shoulder, one on my left thigh, and then I looked up and one in more forehead and one right below my eye. I was so dazed, and I felt like I was falling. When I came too I realized I was still holding on. I was really lightheaded, and there was no way I could go down. So I continued up. I passed out once I got to the top.
I have more, but I dont want to hog space :P
I have some more humourous ones for later hehe

As far as injuries go, I broke my back (in a freak trampolining accident on my 21st birthday) and miraculously escaped any permanent damage such as paralysis.
And as for car accidents, I flipped my mom's brand new car on my 18th birthday in the middle of frickin' nowhere where MAYBE a car an hour drives by, and wasn't seriously injured (except stitches in my hand and a concussion).
And I slid in my car sideways down the Zilwaukee Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilwaukee_Bridge) which was covered in ice one morning. I was at the top of the bridge, driving down the other side, and saw a pile-up of about 20 cars at the bottom of the bridge. Then my car begins to slide sideways - there was nothing I could do - I was heading toward the pile-up, and gaining speed. Somehow I steered the car off to the shoulder where the snow slowed me down and stopped the car before I crashed. Talk about everything happening in slow motion!
