I should’ve died like 5 different times before the age of 10

When I was a toddler I was caught sitting on an open window basically about to jump off the 2nd story and my excuse was that I wanted to see the stars

When I was about 8 I danced on the narrow wall of a bridge that was about 10-15 meters and had a railway at the bottom (my mum found me and stopped it)

That same bridge I climbed over the bars (there’s only like a couple inches of platform behind them where I was standing, one slip and I prob would’ve became a scary story parents tell misbehaving kids)

When I was 7-8 I Tried front flipping off a fence onto my cousins trampoline, somehow fell backwards and nearly got impaled by a metal bar (not literally it’s just a metal bar but I imagine paralysis/serious spinal damage was possible)

I also had zero sense of stranger danger

Living somewhere where the crime rates are pretty high in the uk idk how I got away with it

When I impaled the back of my knee it was unknown to me at the time that an artery occupied that area and I could’ve easily punctured it and risked bleeding out. I actually dk how I avoided that

I was like 16 though so it doesn’t count

I still reckon I have zero sense of danger since all 3 of my best friends got into some random guys van for fun and I’m 100% sure I would’ve joined in without a second thought (also a year ago)

If it helps explain, I am diagnosed

I’ve also almost died once but it wasn’t as risky as you

i almost died from eating raw pufferfish because i thought it would taste good

@RickRollGuy

That’s cap 🥀

A raw pufferfish without any prep is deadly bro 😭

Really? My worst injury was a sprained foot!

I almost died drowning in a pool when I was seven uhhhh yeah 🙂 (im okay dw)

I almost died when I put a pillow on my face, then I fell asleep, and my mom saved my life by taking it off before I suffocated (I was like 6 or- uh… or 8)

yeah I egagerated it a bit but I did get severe food poisoning for a week but I was caught in a rip tide in Mexico once and me and my friend and his sister almost drowned but locals saved us

@Snowiexx

Also another time: I almost died choking on a quarter (don't ask me why I was trying to eat one I was nine okay-)

i used to chew batteries not long ago

usually tastes like a bit of nothing but youd occasionally taste smth funny like static if it was a liquid

@Bombarasclatt

Same tbh I was something else as a kid 0-0...

I used to eat hand sanitizer, I liked the alcoholic sting it gave me
