Are you scared of dying?

Glad you survived though and fulfilled your purpose of a decent forumista.

good of you to say. I'll drink to that.

Then I had that experience, and I just relaxed, waiting for the inevitable with a smile on my face, knowing that I had done more in my short life (was about 22 at the time) than 99% of any other humans ever would do. It was really a great moment, and if I am honest I've probably been £#%&!ing lazy ever since I had that thought....

That's pretty interesting. Esp the last bit there.

well, in my defense I have had a couple of kids and done a lot with my life since. probably just not quite so full on. also not scared of death any more - I look at it like I've had a load of extra time.

Yes. Petrified when I really think about it. Mainly not being able to get my head round it, but it's also very depressing just how unimportant and insignificant we are.

However, sometimes when I'm on a plane that's taking off and I imagine it crashing I feel quite at ease at the thought of my life being over so maybe I'm not as scared as I think.

You morbid @#%&!.

Plane crash is my biggest fear. Knowing you are going to die.

Imagine all of the sudden the plane climbs straight up, out of control and then goes upside down turning over on it's side....

The falling and the plane spinning out of control

£#%&! i hate flying.

It isn't that that scares me.

It's when I am going over see and then, just like in Castaway, the plane plummets nose first into the ocean. You can't even phone your parents to tell them yo love them etc etc. I always make sure I am pissed before I get on a plane.

Okay but has that ever actually happened in the history of jet powered commercial aviation?

i tend to lean towards re-incarnation.....and ive had the Teville slide show....when i nearly drowned in a river aged 16.....dont know why i saw Tevilles life though instead of mine

I'd much rather see Teville's life flash before my eyes than my own - some of those Bulgarian mountians look stunning and as for his cooking....

I hope Sky Sports edit my life - cool music, multi angles, amusing gestures from exasperated maangers etc. I think they should branch out into this field

That was the attacker teabagging your crumpled corpse for a quick snap on his mates mobile phone camera.

I was stabbed four times in the back mate, nearly died.

All over a couple of extra quid on the price of a coach ticket, some people have no respect for life!

Oops indeed.

I don't mean to be morbid but what did it actually feel like, the knife being plunged into your body? I've seen a few videos of people being stabbed and it looks so bloody vicious. Think I'd rather be shot that have cold sharp steel tear through my flesh

Link first, explanation later

Only by drowning, torture or suffocation. I think.

EDIT: Oh and being burnt or buried alive.
