Near Death ExperiencesLast time I crashed my bike, as I flew through the air towards the car in front of me not much went through my head apart from "You idiot". No tunnels, no lights to stay away from, no smiling family members beckoning to me.
Surely you've had a better near-death experience?

6 months agoa car lost control and skidded into my bike when we were both doing 50. The only thing I remember between realising there was nothing I could do and the aftermath when I found that thanks to my bike (C1) I was still alive, is thinking "damn this is going to really ruin my holiday".
Got away with broken leg and both wrists broken, and was flown home from Spain on a stretcher to spend several months convalescing and lurking on B3ta to keep me sane (enough finger poking out of plaster to press refresh, not enough to control photoshop successfully).
Obviously not near death enough. Although if it had happened 100 yards further on could have fallen over a cliff into the sea, which probably would have been a lot closer...
