The "I almost died" thread

[FlawlessHappiness]

I don't know of this counts.
When i was in... what comes before kindergarten in English, the adults didn't know how to treat eggs in food (apparently) and i got the salmonella poisoning. I don't remember anything, but my parents told me that I was crying a lot of the time.

Once I stopped in the middle of the road to check out some bug that was lying there... HOOOOONK, I turned my head quickly and a car is heading towards me. I run to the other side... Nothing more...

Once I was going home from school, in seventh grade (I think), in the schoolbus.
There was this specific part of the road that i was particulary scared of, because it seemed dangerous... Turned out, it was too.
It looks like this:

Spoiler below!

So what happens is that the road is small, and from the other side (Which you cannot see because of the trees) a tractor comes. The tractor is lifting some hay, and probably has problems watching the road... I remember turning my head, when the busdriver started screaming: "NOO, NOOOOOOOO", in fear, and quickly (as I am), i turned my side against the seat in front of me, so that when SMASH(!) the bus and the tractor collided, i was only pushed against the surface. When we got out the whole front of the bus was smashed, but the driver was in safe condition (physically). I saw others who hadn't been quick enough and had hit their head against something metal or wood.
But hey, everybody survived... I was just afraid of busses the next month or two. And eventually, the trees were cut down...
