I guess my "near-death" experience was getting cut off doing 70 on the highway. Swerved to avoid hitting the car who cut me off, overcorrected (which I blame on being 19), car went into a skid, hit a ditch, flipped and rolled a couple times, and landed upside down in some woods. With a female passenger, told her we needed to get out of the car so we crawled out her window that was broken.
She had a bruise on his nose after she unbuckled her seatbelt and dropped down and a cut on her leg with glass in it because she was wearing shorts. I had a cm cut on my hand and that's it. Car was totalled (and only like 5 months old too ) Checked us out in the ambulance, she needed stitches and to remove the glass... my vitals were perfect The paramedics said they were surprised to see everything was "normal"... so I had that going for me.
Definitely the scariest moment and I'm very thankful she wasn't seriously hurt. I look at it that either I used up my one "get out of dying free" card and next time I won't be so lucky... or that since I was already in one terrible car accident, I probably won't be in another one in my life.
And the kicker was I was doing her a favor by driving her back to her college from my school after she visited.
