A woman who went skydiving survived a tremendous fall when her parachute failed to open. What’s even more amazing about this is that an ultrasound scan revealed that she was pregnant and the baby also survived!

I've heard medical professionals tout the mantra "You're not dead until you're warm and dead" because there have been more than a few cases of someone being submerged in very cold water, being warmed up and revived and ending up just fine!

My friend was hit by a truck and was internally decapitated. She had the slimmest of chances of surviving, let alone being able to walk. She made a full recovery with short term memory loss and pain from the accident. She is my hero

I just told my dad about Phineas Gage’s story and he said he remembered hearing about the personality change he went through. Before the incident, Gage would see two men arguing and would stay calm, but, because the moderator part of his brain was destroyed by the rod, whenever he saw someone arguing, he’d get violent. This caused a huge advancement in psychological science.

I definitely think the Guy stuck that air hose in his backside on purpose lol because the story of how it got there is a bit suspicious

My dad has one of these stories. When he was in his early 20s he was driving on a curvy mountain road in one of those jeeps with no doors, and my dad wasnt wearing his seatbelt. A truck suddenly turns the corner and causes the jeep to swerve off the road and down the mountain. My dad wasnt wearing a seatbelt, so as the car rolled on its side down the mountain, he got flung out where the door should of been and landed in front of the car, and it rolled over him. He came out of it with 26 broken bones and lots of future back problems, but thankfully he is alive and well, and had a kid with another person in a car accident years before, who the doctor told she couldn't have kids

Near death experiences are so incredibly traumatizing gosh these people are so resilient with their will to survive!

I remember hearing about a story about a man in his sixties was cutting trees for wood by using a chainsaw. Some how he lost control of chainsaw nearly cutting his own head off. Not only did he survive, he actually some how drove himself to the hospital. He made full recovery and lived for another 10 or 20 years.

My drill sergeant in basic said he had a double shoot failure during airborne school. The only reason he survived was because he was able to cut one of his shoots open with a knife. Whats scary is in airborne you don’t pull your shoot much lower and your falling much faster than traditional skydiving. He broke both his legs but survived

Just like one of the oldest people to ever live once said “when you feel like your about to die… don’t”

[noturaveragewatcher]

Yes, he tripped and fell on the air hose

By "Person Struck By Lightning the Most Times", they actually mean "Man Who God Cannot Smite", because that's clearly what's happening when you're struck by lightning 7 times.

Why do I feel like cheating death is just a “final destination” Scenario just waiting to happen

3 years ago on my way to Burning Man I had my transmission go out in a way that made me think it was my transfer case linkage. I crawled under and found out reverse still worked fine when my hoodie sleeve caught on the transmission linkage and the truck shifted into reverse with me under it. I tried my best to get out from under it, but the truck hit me in the head and broke my neck. Fortunately the truck stopped like a skateboard on a pebble when the wheel hit my head and I managed to not only get out from under it. But also to chase it down and stop it as it was still in reverse. It wasn't far from popping my eyes out of my head and I literally was seeing stars for a while. I never came so close to death in my life. I had a non displaced fracture of my c7 and some pretty bad road rash from dragging myself across the parking lot to get out. Also some bruised ribs which were the most painful part. I still made it to Burning man though, and I had it confirmed by the doctor that I am indeed hard headed. Funny part is if the truck hit me anywhere else I probably wouldn't have fared as well.

"I was trapped in a sunken ship for three days, I kept my faith and composure. I just about gave up nearing the third day, until I touched a diver passing by who along with his diving crew."

My uncle was working at a stonecrusher and his hand got caught and inevitably started to get pulled into the machine, he was very fit at the time from being a professional handball player.

His whole left arm was in the machine, essentially crushed beyond recognition and he fought against the machine with the rest of his body for over 2 hours, until somebody found him and called for medical. His arm was sawed off at his biceps on the spot by a medic with military background and hes doing well nowadays.

there's no way a full grown man could be pulled through a 5" diameter pipe and still live
