I’ve had two which were quite narrow misses: 1974 [plane crash](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hey-qadgop-the-mercotan-tell-us-about-your-plane-crash/239327) 2010 [nearly drowned trying to rescue a kid (& kid didn’t make it 😖 )](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lake-michigan-takes-another-life/542642) Otherwise a few near misses driving & flying but those didn’t even muss my hair. Much. Oh, and a heart attack but it was ‘mild’ (as far as those things go). --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/death-have-you-ever-missed-it-by-that-much/1011986)._
