That sounds scary. Did it out you off parasailing ?
I had a real bad experience with Uber in Nigeria , but a year later was using it again.

When I was 7 I was swimming in a lake at a family bbq with all my cousins. Everyone was messing on a floating raft and decided to try and flip it. Well when the raft flipped it cracked me on the head. I remember sinking in the murky water and thinking I was dying. My oldest brother was there and luckily found me and dragged me out.
I have dreams about it quite regularly still. |

My most recent one was when I was doing a capsize drill in a canoe and my foot ended up tangled in elastic trapping me under water.
I was wearing a buoyancy aid that pushed me up against the capsized canoe so I couldn't dive to free myself, but couldn't bring my head above water level so I couldn't breath.
Luckily, after wedging my paddle between cords and flailing my trapped leg, I ended up free only to drag that canoe a few hundred metres back to shore.
Reading back, it sounds worse than it was. It was over pretty quick so I was unlikely to drown. It was towards the end of a week of paddling. I just wanted to get back, shower and have a hot chocolate. |

Have had a couple over the years, thankfully they don’t haunt me |

It wasn't quite near death but I had pneumonia when I was 20 and was borderline septic so I now know precisely what they mean when they list feeling like you're going to die as a symptom of sepsis. I was coughing up hard lumps and blood and just breathing was exhausting. Unfortunately it's permanently affected my heart so I now have an arrhythmia. |

I went to do it again in October but was quoted a shocking price.
So I would yes, just on a calm day, as wind is what caused the accident |

When I was probably about five I ended up falling in to a local river from a small pier. I still remember the pier, and then waking up in a police station... not sure what happened in between or how the family friend who was looking after me handled it  |

Fell out of a hole while exploring the Rock of Gibraltar landed in a tree after my mate followed me out holding onto my arm. If he hadn’t have grabbed me and directed me into a tree I would not be here.
Gentleman on the Seafront in Gran Canaria took a liking to my trainers and tried to stab me up for them. We ended up falling off the wall onto the beach where we had a wrestle until the law turned up and beat the shit out of him even asking if I wanted a go. |

Getting caught by a rip tide in Italy aged 17 and sucked under. My friend was a stronger swimmer and raised the alarm, rescued used by coastguard.
Had such an effect I didn’t venture back into the sea until this year. I made my guide aware of my fear and he was just great. I’m glad I did it, as was an amazing experience and got my lad his natural turtle photo |

Two quite large car crashes were pretty close calls, no I wasn’t driving
I did die on the table for a few seconds apparently but can’t say I’d have noticed  |

Cut out of a car by firefighters at the age of 20. I had a broken left arm in two places and my left wrist. 18 hours on a spinal bed, 43 stitches and staples in my head. Ruptured my interior ligaments in my right knee. Required 18 stitches in my back. Needed surgery to remove glass from my face. Lots more cuts and bruises from the accident.
Lucky. Very. |

My ex had his hands wrapped around my throat squeezing tightly. Thought I wasn't gonna come back from that but welcomed it at the time, I'd had enough. He let go coz he knew that's what I wanted, and chose to let me live in hell for a while longer trying to convince me to take my own life instead... clean hands then eh.

Getting a lift in a friends car when I was at college, it was stupidly powerful for an 18 year old to be driving and he drove it like he stole it everywhere. We crested a hill with a sharp downhill bend with the wheels off the ground and lost control of the car, it spun 360 degrees when the tyres hit the road and we nearly hit a tree with a load of flowers tied to it from a previous accident. I thought we were going to die and I was shaking for hours afterwards, luckily nobody got hurt. Never got in a car with him again after that. |
