Two Gentleman tried to relieve me of my Wallet in Melton Mowbray. One got my can of vimto busted over his head the other ran off with my chips and gravy leaving his mate sleeping in the gutter. Called the Police and when they got there they knew him as he had only just been released from prison for more or less the same thing.

Narrowly missed falling over 150 feet down a frozen waterfall in north Wales. Luckily only dropped about 10 feet and my uncle caught me, well i fell on him.
Blasted ice ledge gave way under my crampons.
Definite 50p .... 5p moment. |

Flying into St. Louis where there is a military base. Our plane (An old MD80) was about to touchdown when an F16 crossed the runway at the other end of the runway. Our pilot opened the throttles and we went up like a rocket, bounced around, waaay steeper than you when you're taking off, scariest and best roller coaster ride I've ever had!
Our pilot came on and said, "sorry folks, that usually happens here, we'll try again...".  |

My youngest child being born over 7 weeks prematurely. Not knowing if everything would be ok. Never been so frightened. Luckily, after being transferred to 3 hospitals - brilliant neonatal care. All turned out well. |

"Went to a rta and couldnt find bikers head.
It'll be in his helmet!
Surprisingly it was about 150 yards down a grass bank"
I bet it was still in his helmet though! |

Getting pulled in to the thruster propellers of a tourist submarine whilst scuba diving in Cyprus. I discovered that adrenaline was brown and made your wet suit smell that day! |

had a few interesting events over the years,
being a passenger in a nearly new ford focus when they came out and the driver rolling it at about 40mph, pretty sure we went over 2,1/2 times stopping with the car perched on the drivers side against a bank, then checking myself to make sure i was still intact after climbing out to have no injuries at all, driver was bruised but nothing bad either. definatly something i wouldnt want to try again! |

My dive buddy separating from me and entering a wreck with another group of divers because he thought it'd be cool to explore.
After a fruitless 10 minute search I had to bug out and return to my own boat.
I nearly decked the ba*&/$@d and refused to dive with him the rest of the week  |

Oooo so many, several motor racing incidents when I was younger, rough turbulence on a flight over the US, being chained to a jcb when you suddenly hear the engine start up |

My son being ill has caused me lots of heart ache and scares over the years. It's a different kind of scared though which is hard to explain.
For pure terror, I guess getting mixed up in a stabbing was the most frightening. In 20 years of youth work, nothing prepared me for that day. I lost a young lad who was in my care. He died in my arms and I think about it everyday.

Have a car pull out on you when riding a motorcycle at 70, leaving you no time to stop. I hit the car bonnet with enough force for both me and the bike to clear the bonnet, I landed on the back of my head and rolled to a stop. Luckily all I got from it was concussion, whiplash and a blister on my little toe.
The time a mate picked up an air pistol and pointed at me, messing about he pulled the trigger and shot me in the eye. Now partially blind in one eye due to it. |

When I was 3 a horse kicked me in the forehead shattering my skull, and waking up during the op being unable to move and having that black gas mask strapped to my face. Terrifying. |

From a 'oh shit I'm going to die' perspective either the time my dad tried to strangle me or the time I was knocked off my bike and thrown into oncoming traffic on an A road approaching a blind bend and knowing that despite being in agony I needed to move because if anything came rround that bend it would almow certainly kill me
From a "I really don't want this to happen" perspective, my then girlfriend being gravely ill in hospital and deteriorating at such a rate that she was (as later confirmed by her consultant) dying. Thankfully she confounded doctors and pulled through |

Dying - that moment you realise that whatever your actions are in the next few seconds there is nothing you can do about it.
There are 5 days of my life missing other than what I have been told about went on.
Nothing really phases me now.
What's the worst that can happen? |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Being hit about the head with an iron bar and knowing if I didn't drag myself up two flights of stairs no one would find me for nearly two hours.
Being pinned in a dark corner in a night club with everyone dancing around us and no one thinking the tall handsome professional who had chatted me up was sexually assaulting me.
Waiting for a decision on a contract that would mean the difference between my staff still having jobs or me having to make them redundant.

I didn't find the dying or near death scary. Living with pain was much scarier.
Keep calm and carry on, dragon man. |

Anything from a grade 7 to a grade 9 level pain from the moment you wake up for 20yrs does get to you some days.
But if you're feeling it - you're still alive.
Stupid little niggles get to me more now that we've found a way to bring the pain down below 5 every day.
Shouldn't - but they kinda gang up on you  |

Two that come to mind.
Being set on fire and having a pick axe aimed at my head which luckily went into the wall behind me.
Thought I was a gonna when I was on fire, its like it was in slow motion.

Scariest moment... Leaving my violent ex and taking my three young children with just the clothes on our backs, told to get on a train and meet someone who would take us to a woman's refuge...that day the trains happen to be striking, so turned into a long bus journey with three terrified children, I can still remember arriving and being handed a cuppa and shaking so much I had to put the cup down but looking back my worse day did eventually turn into the best thing that I ever did  |

Coming up to the middle point on a tractor trailer, on a two lane autobahn in Bavaria, as the driver pulled out to overtake the lorry in front.
I had my lights on and was indicating as I was overtaking but I think the driver just hadn't looked or seen my car.
The central barrier was a bank of snow and ice, and my right hand view was a rapidly encroaching hulk of truck.
Thank f*ck that I was driving a turbo-charged Porsche; my expletives did wake my girlfriend who was in the right hand seat as we rocketed through the narrowing gap.

"On a Caribbean flight that was rough, the pilot told us it was his worst flight and wasn't sure we'd make it alive. We did, of course but it was terrifying. "
Hell.. I would never fly again |

The trouble is, when you're a few thousand feet up, and told you probably won't make it alive - what do you do? You can't get out, or rewind to before you took off etc. We just felt some doom, whilst being tossed around in the skies, feeling sick.
He should have kept quiet, as we had no choice but to be there. |

A crash with a rather large lorry when I was little, the car pinned under the front of it and hurtling down the motorway. I still don't drive and I hold my breath when whoever is driving me goes past a lorry.
Flying over a tornado. That wasn't pleasant.
I tripped up the stairs while I had a fruit shoot lid in my mouth.. It flew to the back of my throat and I couldn't breathe. I must have been about 8, but I can still remember desperately trying to cough it up or swallow it so I could breathe.
Not terrified as such but when my mum pushed me down the stairs I was afraid she would hit me with her wine bottle.. And I was shaking like a leaf for about an hour.
When my sister threw me over the back of the sofa and went to hit me round the head with my crutch.. It was like slow motion.
Something in my back made a funny noise and I couldn't move my legs for about 20 minutes, I thought I was going to be paralysed.. My ex-husband left the room and told me to man up, then made me go apologise to the neighbour for screaming when I could move again.
There's more, but it's not appropriate to post on here. |
