Almost spun out because I hit a pothole, luckily the oncoming lane was empty and I managed to recover though

Fell on the road with a car going straight at me, I slipped in panic when I tried to get up, I don't know if I was actually in danger but it was close
When my son had scarlet fever.
My six-year-old and my eight-year-old started fighting and chasing each other around on a skinny trail at the top of the Grand Canyon with very long drop-offs and no fences to either side.
They didn’t die, then, but each time I remember it again they are at risk of being murdered
That time I ate way too much cubensis and was molecularly taken apart and put together again by the void, that was fun.
Ah, yes. I can't say I had such a transcendental experience... still I remember watching a small animal, like a field mouse -but bearing wings, that was sipping from my beer using a long trunk reaching down to the heavenly liquid.
A sudden, relatively small ice patch on a curvy mountain road with no road barrier and a car coming towards me. I swirled towards abyss, then a rock wall, then back to the abyss, and the other car somehow passed me too. Thankfully neither me nor the others were hurt.
Going from an employee to self-employed was fucking terrifying. It felt like risking my entire future even though I rationally knew that not to be the case.
Had to jump about 30 feet off a cruise ship (into water of course) in a "gumby" suit as part of training to work on said ship
Unironically, I cannot remember.
My dog and I got attacked by a sausage pitbull a couple days ago for the second time (same dog). I was able to defuse the situation without any major injuries to either dog, and just some scuffs from rolling around on the ground. It was still terrifying and he ambushed us.
You're more patient than me. I'd have had a knife with its name on it the second time.
Sorry you had to go through that.
Yeah most people I know would do the same, or even just let their own dog attack the pitbull after they were subdued. I did choke the shit out of him until he calmed down though. Funny enough, I used a "bulldog choke."
