Tiercel 6,986 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) When I was 15 I fell under a moving train, trying to jump on the trucks for a ride home. Even after all this time I can still vividly remember being dragged along and tumbling under the trucks. I honestly thought I was going to die, strangely enough I was quite at peace with it, maybe because it seemed inevitable that I would die. Anyhow, some how I got thrown out from under the trucks and ended up lying in a gutter by the side of the line. I sat up and said out loud "I am alive" I then realised that I had a strange numb feeling in my right hand and I could not feel my thumb. So I pulled back my jacket to see why and all I could see was that 2 of my fingers had been torn off, my middle finger was hanging on by a bit of skin and a tendon and my thumb was flopping about all over the place. Luckily I was not alone I was with my brother and two mates and together we walked to the nearest farm for them to call an ambulance, I remember being quite lucid at the time and because my wellies were covered in mud I would not go in to the farm house but sat outside. I would not have anything to drink as I had been to the dentists that morning and had an empty stomach so they would be able to operate earlier. They were able to save my middle finger all-be-it with limited mobility in that because they had to stitch the bottom tendon back together I have never been able to straighten it. but the other two were unable to be stitched back on as the damage was too great. Moral of the story if your going to play with trains make sure they are Hornby. TC Edited December 13, 2013 by tiercel 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MoChara 1,632 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 lucky lucky men. Ive not had an actual "im going to die" thought, but near misses i have had from lorrys near killing us - but just lost a wingmirror, to near being wiped out by a Mercedes . But weirdest one - i was in a car accident (wernt bad) one night with an old mate - then when we got far enough out of there we rang up and got two fella's to pick us up.. After about 3 mile of driving he ended up taking a bend far far too fast - we ended up getting wedged in between two tree's. Two car's wrote off in one night - and no i was not driving But after reading some stories on here THAT is not worthy enough just thought id throw it in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Accip74 7,112 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Worked mostly in building & construction, so had a few near misses, but I suppose the only time it could of spelt certain death, was the time I was building an artificial cave in a zoo..... Having spent most of the morning on my back, inside the cave, doing the finishing touches to the render.........10am & 'time for breakfast', crawled out, walked away..........& the whole 4+ ton of steel, mesh, concrete & render collapsed flat to the ground! Boss said...'does that mean it won't be open this week?' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
