Has anyone here ever almost died?

Asked by bluejay (1014points) October 1st, 2011

Were you close to death? Such as “seeing the light”, or was it a close call where a bullet grasses your head, or even a situation where it could have been you had you not took the time to tie your shoes? What was your reaction? I’m wondering because threw out my life I’ve come close to death once and had many close calls and it’s never affected me.
Like one time I rode my bike next to a busy rode on the sidewalk. My grip thing on the handle bar fell off and I went off balance and almost got run over multiple times. As quickly and calmly as my hurt knee would let me I got out of the rode. I sat on the sidewalk for about a minute until my knee and side stopped hurting. Then I continued my day as if nothing happened. I still ride the same bike on the same rode and I still go close to the edge. I haven’t experienced any sadness, any fear, search for meaning in my own life, I don’t even have any nervousness near that rode. Is this normal? Anyone else feel neutral after such an experience?
