My father was coming home from his job and he was really worn out. He called my stepdad and talked to him for a while then hung up. Just a few minutes later he fell asleep at the wheel. He swerved onto the left lane and hit a huge truck head on. His car was crushed, and the other people in the other car was okay. My father had broke his neck and had horrible head injuries making him unaware of his surroundings. He also broke his leg, his pelvis, and his arm. He had to be air lifted to the hospital. That happened 2 years ago and he died last year to to kidney failure and a seizure. They were surprised on how he lived through the whole crash. Love you dad 💖
The diver you mentioned worked with a friend of mine. The biggest reason, apart from sheer grit, for his survival was the intense cold and pressure which slowed his bodies system right down. Apparently afterwards he was extremely calm all the way up to blacking out.
That's crazy - one of the most amazing stories here to not only survive 35 minutes without oxygen but no brain damage, complete recovery and back to work in 3 weeks. WAIT -WHAT??!!
My cousin, who has been a professional fire fighter in central Wisconsin for almost his entire life has had several interesting events, but 2 are especially heart pounding. He and a fellow fire fighter once ended up in a burning warehouse full of magnesium, which is highly vollitile. He said it was like being trapped in a fireworks display. When his fellows pulled the 2 out, they expected to find 2 dead fire fighters, but were amazed and relieved when the 2 were fine. Then some years later, my cousin, who is also very physically active including running marathons. He had run 1 in his hometown of Eau Claire, then another in San Antonio Texas. I never expected him to have run a third in a really short amount of time, but he did. It is Devine Providence that he did so well in that 3rd marathon. Had he come in just shortly later, or left the recovery station just barely sooner, it would have been a disaster for our family. After he was done in the recovery station, he was heading back to watch people he knew finishing the run. The minute he turned to do so, the bombs went off. He was in the Boston Marathon the day of the infamous bombings!
My father used to work in the coal mines, a lot happened- Like 2 men were crushed by a rock and stuck there for 6 hour's because Coal miner's aren't allowed to do anything till paramedics arrive (The men died) But that was the shift my dad was gonna do but the guy who was on roof bolter took a day off so they put him on that. My dad also had a friend who was about to go into the mine but forgot a tool and that's when an explosion/gas leak happened, that's the reason that guy lived. (He had some mental issues after that though.) If anyone's from West Virginia, my dad worked for Alpha and was usually on roofbolter-his name was Matthew.
This isn’t like the other ones where they were in crazy situations, but when I was 6 or 7 I was in the shallow end of the beach even though I could swim because I was scared. But in the floor there was a ditch and it sucked me in, and being tiny and not strong I couldn’t get out and I was stuck under water. But my mom, dad, my sister, and my young brother were all in the beach relaxing, my big brother was deeper in the ocean and my grandpa was playing in the sand with my siblings. Little did I know my grandma was a little behind me and she luckily turned around just in time before it was to late and she lifted up out of the water. When I was under water I was like “I’m dead” and I just felt a wave of relief when my grandma lifted me up and I have to say air never tasted so sweet.

My survival story: When I was 6 my cousin wanted to teach me how to ride a bike and I was at his house so I had to use his bike and I could barely reach the petals. My cousin helped me up the bike and he pushed the bike forward and the place I was biking was on a hill and at the bottom there was really busy traffic, so when he pushed me I couldn’t stop and I thought I was gonna get hit and die. At the last second my cousin grabbed the bike and I got off without a scratch. When we got back inside my cousin gave me two packs of gum and told me not to tell my parents, so I took the gum and told my parents. He got in big trouble.

My family has a friend named Brandon Sulser who suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was 12, broke his neck and was paralyzed from the neck down at 18, froze to death then was brought back to life at 29, and was in a devastating car crash at 34. He's still alive and well - in a wheelchair but just an overall nice guy. You can find out more in his book "We Are All Paralyzed".
A few years ago I was a safety patrol on a school bus and was standing in the aisle, when the bus almost hit a car, and I was flung backward ten to twenty feet, then hit my head on the dashboard. Couldn’t breathe for half a minute or so but I suffered no major injuries.
I fell from a high cliff with my scooter bike about 60 meters down. Stuck in the bushes and was saved. Broke my hip and collar bone. I was able to walk again after 4 months.
After 45 years in Fire/EMS there are survival stories I could tell but usually after someone asks me what is the worst thing you have ever seen, they never ask that question again lol
My dad was a firefighter and I remember asking him that question and was kinda shocked at the stuff he was willing to tell me when I was just a kid, he passed away 10 years ago though so I’m kinda bummed I couldn’t ask about more.
My uncle was in a motorcycle accident and broke glad the bones on one side of his body when his motorcycle slid on a puddle and went aimlessly through 2 yards and hit a street lamp pole. He's fine now but is still waiting for the doctors to put part of his skull back in, he had amnesia until around 6-8 weeks in with his injuries. The doctors thought he would die but he survived. Plus he had COVID only 2 ish weeks before his accident
@@marselsijanec9052 ty, he's ok now but he can't walk too well and can't open one of his hands all the way but he's about as he's gonna get I think 👍 your so nice, wish you and your fam the best
One time I was in Kansas in a pool with my family and I had a cramp while swimming in the "deep end" and nearly drownded but I held my breath and waited for me to move my leg again (Which was 45sec and I never held my breath for that long) and swam back to shore. The craziest thing is that I never panicked during the whole thing.
Once, I got in a seriously dangerous position in a plane crash. It was on fire and flying down in the water. Everybody was flying in the air and the airbags were broken. By then, half of the plane broke off. I jumped with the crew's parachute and survived. I stayed oversea for 27-ish days until rescued. I survived on the wing of the plane. I also fished by hand. It was crazy!
I know some relative of my step mother, was once hit with a stroke unexpectedly 2 hours away from a hospital, with no car. He walked out a doctors clinic where they declared him as fine, but it got worse to he walked for 2 HOURS WITH A STROKE until he reached hospital and was immediately admitted to a room wand was treated. Apparently the best thing to do when you have a stroke is to just keep yourself up and not lie down and let your body die. Apparently as long as you are up and walking you have a higher chance of survival. (Btw I am not sure whether it was a heart attack or stroke)
My survival story: When I was 2 years old I was walking through my parent's kitchen when I came across a boiling pot that was boiling, then I pulled it (still don't know why though) the entire pot fell on me I screamed then my mom and grandma came in and my mom lifted me up and my skin disintegrated. I was rushed to the ER and made a full recovery in 3 months.
I have two stories: I went up from my basement and I wanted to let my dog so I did but he was sleeping so he bit me and I went to the hospital and ended up with a scar. My second story: I was on my brothers bed and he was telling me to get off but I didn't so I was backing up and I banged my head on his nightstand and went to the hospital with a bump on my head. Glad to share my stories
just two days ago I was sitting in my house, doing my schoolwork, when all of the sudden, the entire house shook (there was also a VERY loud sound). I thought it came from upstairs so I went to check up there. then my mom came in and noticed that there was a tree right in front of the house. but when I say right in front I mean the trunk was touching the side of the house. but if that wasn't a close enough call, this made it so that the trunk of the giant tree was only a foot away from where I was siting! but wait, there's more, when we went outside to see what it did, we noticed that it was at an angle towards the house! so to sum it all up, that tree was curved and if it wasn't curved, I would probably be dead by now. that's scary.
One time I was at my grandma's house, we were cleaning one of her old houses and while burning a lot of trash , I threw a bag that had an aerosol can in the fire and it completely burned half my face. My family and I thought the house is demonically cursed because my parents got scratches that looked demonic.

My dad always tells me this story about a guy who was a highway construction worker. When he jumped off the side of a truck he landed on a sledgehammer that was sticking straight up, rear end first. I think he ended up having a lot of his intestine removed. This was over 30 years ago and he is still alive to this day
The guy from the handgliding accident is a much better person than me as I'd lawyer up. You're the instructor, safety and knowledge is your main job...how do you forget to buckle someone in?!
I know this is super old, BUT if you watch the video of this on RUclips he basically jumped and grabbed on to the dude and went up in the air of his own free will. He noticed he wasn’t attached and all he had to do was drop to the ground while he was still like 2 ft off the ground but he doesn’t 🤦🏻♀️ He jumps and grabs on and takes off with the instructor or whoever🤷🏻♀️ it was his fault he was in the air in the first place. If he would have just let go while they were still basically in the ground he would have been fine 😂😂
My dad served in the Bosnian War. He had been the lone survivor in his troup and was suspected dead. 8 days later he found another troup and was then filled out paperwork to prove he was alive. The letter that was going to be sent home is now hung up on the wall.
Why? Because of a virus with a mortality rate of .07% after 9 months? How about the fact that 90% of C*vid deaths are to people OVER the age of 60, and 94% of C*VID deaths had a minimum of two comorbidities In short, if you are healthy and not elderly, you have NOTHING to worry about
@@dezznutz3743 Well;I guess my MOM dying a few days ago just gets your nibblets happy.Meanwhile my older Brother and 1 of my 4 sisters has it,and neither of my other 2 brothers are ill with it.Just to keep you happy,I guess is why GOD gave me asthma and I'm just hanging on. Ashhole.
Yeah, I do have a survival story, my dad was driving on the freeway and going 80 mph (I'll explain why soon) and then he had a seizure, the car hit a light pole with enough force to force it out of the ground and make it fall over, my dad passed out which the medics believed was from the airbag and I just walked out if the car, just a bit dizzy. I hurried to get some help, soon after digging through the trash on the floor (the trashbag spilled) and finding it then calling my mom who is a nurse who came shortly after the paramedics. My dad was released that night after getting a shot of kepra, my stepfather picked up his pills and after my mom and I got him some clothes he was driven back to his apartment with me and my mom. That was something I knew I would never forget. Edit : I believe my dad was going 80 because of his seizure, he has grandmals which cause him to shake, so I believe his shaking foot caused the car to speed up by hitting the gas pedal over and over
Here is my survival story: When I was 2 I jumped in the shallow end of a pool without help to keep me afloat and almost drowned then my brother saved me.
The scuba diver that just went back to work is a crazy story and happened here in Scotland where I live. Most people should have sued them for a fortune and won and said they could not return to work due to PTSD. Remember this happened in Scotland and it was an oil company so he would 100% have won as they did not want the negative publicity and it is a multi-billion dollar company. Yet he accepted it as part of the job and went back to work. It is absolutely crazy.
My husbands Grandfather was out running his hunting dogs in the woods when he had a heart attack. He managed to call his dogs back, drag himself to his truck, and drove himself to the hospital. All while suffering a near fatal heart attack. He survived and died at the age of 92
I know I already commented about a near death experience I heard of, but there is one that I witnessed myself. When I was on my way to mount Kosciusko in Australia to see snow for the first time, my family drove past a car that had slipped and managed to go down a hill, rolling front to back 3 times before stopping. We first thought that it might have been an old car crash where the car had not been picked up yet, but my step mum noticed there was smoke coming out meaning the car had just crashed. There was a woman in there and the car was getting more smoky by the minute meaning, it was going to catch fire. My dad stopped the car, and then my step mother got out and checked for a person where she found a woman in the drivers seat in complete shock, drifting in and out of consciousness. My step mother pulled the woman out and took her to just sit on the passenger seat of our car and gave her water, making sure there were no kids in the crashed car, me and my step sister were allowed out. The woman was in desperate need of her phone to tell her husband what happened, so my step sister and I, being the only ones able to fit, and fully covered from head to toe in puffy clothing to protect us from the snow and cold when we got to mount Kosciusko, went in to look for the phone. After intense searching in the upside down car for about 10 minutes, we found the phone and got out to give the woman her phone. Apparently that edge she glided off of was commonly known for people to glide off, and only 4 out of the 25 people (not completely accurate numbers) that a nearby house owner had ever seen crash after gliding off, had survived the ordeal. Though it’s not surprising that many died as the hill she glided off of had a sharp turn up a huge hill and the side that the woman had crashed on, there was a steep hill just a few metres away from the car.
This remind me of my Great Grandpa who was attack by a Cougar when he was 91 years old and fought it off with nothing but his cane and no one in the family even knew about it until he went to the doctor when he was 93 year old. Where said Cougar Craw was still embedded in his leg from the attack.
I have lost count of how many close calls I have had over the years; one in particular. I was driving down the road near my house when I discovered a beautiful rose bush in someone's yard. I went through the gate where I stumbled upon a sleeping mastiff. It lifted its head and began to growl and slowly made its way toward me. With my back to the gate, I searched desperately for the latch. Then, without warning, the dog leaped me, but thanks to my quick thinking, I swiftly shoved the dog's face, causing it to lose its balance. Stunned at what had happened, all the dog could do is bark at me until I was outside the gate again.
I remember watching a documentary about the diving bell incident and "a superhuman effort" is exactly what the crew mounted in order to save him ... Even though they were certain he'd be dead. Amazingly he survived.
My only survival story is almost a year ago I was in a pool and I was playing with friends in one of those little tubes, and we got stuck, but my whole body was underwater for almost 3 minutes. Not near as impressive as 30 minutes in the video, but for me who can’t even go 1 minute holding my breath, that is pretty insane.
A survival story, My Dad was shot through his neck in one side out the other and still lived through it. He did not make it to the hospital until 30 minutes after he was shot. By in the end he was ok.
My survival story: In Salina, KS, I was sitting in a chair on a concrete floor, and I suddenly went into a grand mal seizure. After the seizure, I blacked out, fell to my left out of the chair, and almost busted my skull open! I still have the knot to this day! When I hit the floor, I died for 3 minutes!
I've been hit by a SUV while on my bicycle when I was about 8 years old. Having that extra height saved my life. The bike went under and got folded and some parts snapped off. My head hit the windshield and then fell to the side and grinded my knees on the asphalt for about 5 feet from the boost. Lucky my bones are in working order with no cracks. Besides that one time I broke multiple small bones in my wrist by tripping backwards over my shoes I left on the driveway while I was trying to pop a big bubble. 😂
There is something mixed up here regarding the unfortunate saturation diver, Chris, who was left on the seafloor unaided. The documentary about the incident claimed he was in subfreezing temperatures for 37 hours. That's quite a discrepancy between the 35 minutes claimed here. Although it's not unheard of for a drowning victim to survive after being unconscious for a number of hours. If I recall correctly, the discovery of the effectiveness of lowering body temperature has even been used during highly technical surgeries.

Once i was fatally hit in the head and had to go to the hospital, I spent 2 days there and if it went any deeper it would’ve been 100% fatal and I’d get brain damage, but it didn’t go any deeper and know I have a lump on my head, nice battle scar!
My harrowing story took place in the late 70's, I was a 15 year old girl living on Guam, where my family is from. One day 2 of my female cousins and 2 boys that were my cousins neighbors decided to skip school. We lived on Nimitz Hill above the Masu river. It was a shallow river but below my cousins house was more of a pool. We all stripped down to our underwear and spent the whole day swimming. Around 3pm when we were all tired and should have already been home, I heard crackling. Ishouted to the others to hurry up and grab our clothes and stuff and run up the hill. After swimming all day we were so tired and the hill was really steep. It took us a few minutes to reach the top and when we looked back the whole hill side was on fire and the pool where we were swimming was completely covered in flames. I got dressed and ran home. My mom was already home and she asked me why I was covered in soot, I lied and said I got off the bus early to watch the fire at my cousins house. I never went to that pool again.
The longest time spent adrift at sea is over 400 days not 133. Also, that dude should have sued the hang gliding instructor. That’s extremely negligent.
In 2008 I became obsessed with the show Survivorman. 2009 I turned 19 & recieved $40,000 from the insurance company from a car accident i was in, in 2005. I spent $4000 on firearms, ammo, camping supplies, survival gear, any plenty of books. From 2009-2011 I lived in The Flint Hills in Kansas. I practiced and taught bushcraft, survival & primitive skills. Ive never had a license so I rode my bike 7 miles to the lake, with my entire pack attached to my bike and my dog running beside me. I lived in Westmoreland, KS and the lake was 7 miles north up Highway 99. Buddy (year old Cocker Spaniel) and I were just coming to the lake. I had survival classes planned for the weekend. As I was slowing down to take the gravel road down to the lake Buddy got scared by a rustle in a bush. His leash was tied to my handlebars. He yanked the handlebars to the left and I remember putting my hands down to catch myself. I woke up in extreme amounts of pain in my head, neck, back, right knee and right shoulder. Buddy was licking my face, I didn't have a cell phone at the time. (If you out reach your arm and put your fingers horizontal to the sun every finger is 15 minutes, repeat til you hit the horizon.) We had a 45 minutes until sundown, it was around 830pm. I assessed my situation and injuries. I looked up the hill and it was about 60ft up to the road at a 50° incline, 40ft to my bike that was wedged in a tree. I fashioned a sapling as a walking stick then hiked up the hill to grab my bike. Buddy had slipped his collar, I got my pack and went down to the lake. I set up my tent and pulled out the First Aid Kit. I had cuts all over my face & arms, I had a broken nose, my right shoulder hurt so badly I could hardly move it. My head was throbbing and I knew I had a concussion, I was alone and didn't want to risk falling asleep. So I set up some bank lines to catch some fish, went over to a blackberry bush and gathered a bunch of berries. Buddy was off hunting rabbits, I heard a squeal and Buddy comes out the bush with a dead rabbit in his mouth. He sets it down next to me and is off back in the bush hunting. I skinned it, gutted it and started a fire. I put the gut pile down by the waters edge (camp was about 20ft from the waters edge). As im cutting a stick to put the rabbit on (my cooking pot was too small) Buddy comes out the bush crying with something black in his mouth. It was a 5ft Rat Snake, he was bitten (non venomous). I wrapped his leg with a gauze roll from the first aid kit then started skinning the snake. Put the snake guts with the rabbit guts down on the waters edge. Cut another stick to wrap the snake around, put both on the fire. I reeled in the bank lines I had set and added some guts to the trebble hooks and threw them back out. I had a 3 pole permit, fur harvesting license and my landlord was a county deputy sheriff. My fishing pole had broke on the crash down the hill. I used the fishing line I had and tarred bank line for the fishing sets. I normally would fish every day for at least 4 hours, id catch a fish or two for my supper every night. It was around 2330 (1130pm) when I heard a car on the highway, it passed and then turned around. A spot light was shining down the hillside where I had fallen. I heard a door open and my name called. It was my landlord, he was on night shift just checking on me. I tried to yell back but my head started pounding even more. Buddy barked a few times and he drove his patrol car down to me. He confirmed I had a concussion and a few cuts needed stitches. He packed up my camp, and started helping me bring in the lines. The last line had a 8lb Catfish on it, I gutted it on the spot and threw the guts into the lake. I told him I didn't wanna let the snake & rabbit go to waste, he said he'd eat the rabbit if I ate the snake. Snake is very stringy and chewy, I gave Buddy the snake meat and we shared the rabbit & berries I had collected. Wrapped the catfish in some tinfoil I had in my bag, and he strapped my bike down to his roof. I planned on staying awake all night and wait for someone to give me a lift in the morning. We got back to town and stopped at the EMS station we had in our small town (800 people). They stitched me up & even looked at Buddy's bite, he was fine. They told me I could sleep there or at home but I'd need someone to monitor me. my landlord/deputy called his daughter who was a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and a friend of mine. She came n stayed with Buddy & me. I slept from 0300-0630, my bike had bent rims and the handlebars were snapped. I had breakfast at the town diner every morning at 0700. Biscuits & Gravy with Coffee and a roll. I wasnt able to walk without falling over, so my friend drove me to the diner. Id normally sit and bullshit with all the old folks from 0700-1100 every morning. They were all very concerned about me, some of the old timers said they'd take me fishin anytime I wanted to go. They all knew I had very little money and fished for my food everyday. One guy even offered to give me some spare rods/reels, which i turned down. I prefer the old ways of fishin such Cane Poles, Bank Lines, Trot Lines, Peg Snare Cut Poles, Hand Lines, Tenkara, Spear Fishin, and Trap Fishin. It makes the catch so much better and more satisfying.
back 10 years ago i fell off a train and lived to tell abt it i broke my left knee had a hole in my skull shattered my right knee cap and had 4 deep cuts in my right knee and one in my left hand and 5 deep cuts on my head and dislocated my right shoulder and broke my left ankle i got up called 911 and walked a mile to the highway and with my right arm i was waving people down
i figured it meant they melted the snow and added the smallest amount of food possible to make it seem they were eating more than they were to help it last longer
The reason he said it like that was to fit more context into a short amount of time. We all understand that it becomes water, yeah, but we're not gonna say "they boiled down water to make soup" see that used more words and the video is already at 20 mins...
When I was younger I was nearly hit by an out of control RC plane. Last minute I dove into the trunk of my dads car. Turned out the pilot had failed to check his battery charge on his controller, and wasn't a small plane either, nearly 5 foot wingspan.
Dougal Robertson wrote about the orca attack and their survival ordeal. Called Survive the Savage Sea, it even comes with a maritime survival guide and drawings of how they made fishhooks for catching turtles and other marine edibles. I highly recommend it if you do any offshore sailing.
My aunt was on a rollercoaster and the lap bar came of, her dad managed to hold her on the rollercoaster and she was fine. I think it might have been the Batman coaster before it was redone.
I'm enjoying this video from the comfort of my bed, your content is stopping me going to sleep even though I can watch anytime. I even have amazed playlist that I can go to when I don't have time to watch straight away. I also love your voice in this video please don't change it, I'm sure I heard a different voice kn one of your videos and I didn't get the same vibe of wanting more
My sister was young when she stuck googly eyes up both of her nostrils and she went to the e r the doctor was about to walk in the room and then she blew the googly eyes out
Here is one: One time I went swimming on a raft with three other people, and we did wait distribution to keep it from tipping over. But the other person leaned to the side and we fell into the water. I didn't know how to swim, and my friends weren't good at it either, but they somehow grabbed onto me, saving my life, and returned to the water that we could stand in without any major problems.
Once, I went to my friends house, and they had a quad cycle or something. The parents let us use it but we had to go slow. Context: Where they live is like one giant neighborhood. So my friend (who was driving) went to grass. I told him: "Be careful, there are ditches here." He said: "Ok". Guess what he did. He ran into a ditch and we were upside down. It was hard to get out but the parents came and got us out. Same day he flipped the cycle at high sperd but luckily, it didn't flip all the way and I was spared.
My dad is military and when he got deployed he got shot in his armored vest and it was 4 cm from going through it in tirely and only had one broken rib bone
Wow! Your Dad is lucky! Please tell him that a stranger said "Thank-you for your Service! And I'm so glad you are there for your family!" Stay safe and please wear a mask.
I was 591st med/log in Iraq 2003, I was shot 4 times and paralyzed from the waist down one bullet missed my heart by 2 cm. I'm told I'm lucky to be alive, call me a whiny ass but idk if lucky is the right word...fucking wheels...just dont quite replace the legs I lost the use of.😐
Holy god i remembered that incident when i was in grade 8 I was only my way to village with my family for the first time of my life It takes 2 days to reach there from where I'm living It was raining that day the roads were not so good it was all muddy Then we arrived at the place called chandadha there were a lot of red mud which are really slippery when they are exposed to water We were nearly at the top of the hill and well at that time in Nepal we really had bad roads The jeep started to drift because it was so slippery we were near the edge about 6 times and nearly fell from those high high cliffs It was really really bad for my heart The jeep driver was really good If he was not i wouldn't be here to share my story
I can relate to someone who almost go t hit by a car. I was about 14 at the time, I was riding my bike and as I was crossing the road, a car had turned right infront of me. I immediately .griped my brakes, almost lost my balance. In short. I had missed the car by about an inch. and obviously I survived :P
survival story: i was at the pool with my brother, mom, and another random kid. I told him to push me underwater for 10 seconds. But 10 seconds passed and he was still pushing me underwater. So i tried to swim out and started yelling, and after 3 seconds he finally let go of me and ended up swallowing some water
i fell off a 50ft mountain in a car that rolled and landed on the top and luckily people on a near by island helped us and surprisingly none of us had that bad of injuries.
This too creepy he said at the start it's nail biting and I was biting my nails THEN he said you may be watching in the comfort of your bed and guess what I'm in my bed!
The best survival story was when I was at the beach in Santiago chele and accidentally swam out a little too far getting caught by a current then my foot caught onto a rock and my cousin helped my back onto shore thankfully.
My uncle was a marine. He was able to escape from a sinking submarine. Sorry I don't know many of the details, he has a severe panic attack when asked about it

My father was coming home from his job and he was really worn out. He called my stepdad and talked to him for a while then hung up. Just a few minutes later he fell asleep at the wheel. He swerved onto the left lane and hit a huge truck head on. His car was crushed, and the other people in the other car was okay. My father had broke his neck and had horrible head injuries making him unaware of his surroundings. He also broke his leg, his pelvis, and his arm. He had to be air lifted to the hospital.

The diver you mentioned worked with a friend of mine. The biggest reason, apart from sheer grit, for his survival was the intense cold and pressure which slowed his bodies system right down. Apparently afterwards he was extremely calm all the way up to blacking out.
That's crazy - one of the most amazing stories here to not only survive 35 minutes without oxygen but no brain damage, complete recovery and back to work in 3 weeks. WAIT -WHAT??!!
sooo cool😲🤭
HOW DID HE NOT DIE I AM SO GLAD FOR U AND HIM THAT IS ALIV!? Tell him I send him a life !
My cousin, who has been a professional fire fighter in central Wisconsin for almost his entire life has had several interesting events, but 2 are especially heart pounding. He and a fellow fire fighter once ended up in a burning warehouse full of magnesium, which is highly vollitile. He said it was like being trapped in a fireworks display. When his fellows pulled the 2 out, they expected to find 2 dead fire fighters, but were amazed and relieved when the 2 were fine. Then some years later, my cousin, who is also very physically active including running marathons. He had run 1 in his hometown of Eau Claire, then another in San Antonio Texas. I never expected him to have run a third in a really short amount of time, but he did. It is Devine Providence that he did so well in that 3rd marathon. Had he come in just shortly later, or left the recovery station just barely sooner, it would have been a disaster for our family. After he was done in the recovery station, he was heading back to watch people he knew finishing the run. The minute he turned to do so, the bombs went off. He was in the Boston Marathon the day of the infamous bombings!
Do you think I will read all of that!?

My father used to work in the coal mines, a lot happened- Like 2 men were crushed by a rock and stuck there for 6 hour's because Coal miner's aren't allowed to do anything till paramedics arrive (The men died) But that was the shift my dad was gonna do but the guy who was on roof bolter took a day off so they put him on that. My dad also had a friend who was about to go into the mine but forgot a tool and that's when an explosion/gas leak happened, that's the reason that guy lived. (He had some mental issues after that though.) If anyone's from West Virginia, my dad worked for Alpha and was usually on roofbolter-his name was Matthew.
thats sad but cool

This isn’t like the other ones where they were in crazy situations, but when I was 6 or 7 I was in the shallow end of the beach even though I could swim because I was scared. But in the floor there was a ditch and it sucked me in, and being tiny and not strong I couldn’t get out and I was stuck under water. But my mom, dad, my sister, and my young brother were all in the beach relaxing, my big brother was deeper in the ocean and my grandpa was playing in the sand with my siblings. Little did I know my grandma was a little behind me and she luckily turned around just in time before it was to late and she lifted up out of the water. When I was under water I was like “I’m dead” and I just felt a wave of relief when my grandma lifted me up and I have to say air never tasted so sweet.

My survival story:
When I was 6 my cousin wanted to teach me how to ride a bike and I was at his house so I had to use his bike and I could barely reach the petals. My cousin helped me up the bike and he pushed the bike forward and the place I was biking was on a hill and at the bottom there was really busy traffic, so when he pushed me I couldn’t stop and I thought I was gonna get hit and die. At the last second my cousin grabbed the bike and I got off without a scratch. When we got back inside my cousin gave me two packs of gum and told me not to tell my parents, so I took the gum and told my parents. He got in big trouble.
I think your cousin is the dead one😆
What a sissy

My family has a friend named Brandon Sulser who suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was 12, broke his neck and was paralyzed from the neck down at 18, froze to death then was brought back to life at 29, and was in a devastating car crash at 34. He's still alive and well - in a wheelchair but just an overall nice guy. You can find out more in his book "We Are All Paralyzed".

A few years ago I was a safety patrol on a school bus and was standing in the aisle, when the bus almost hit a car, and I was flung backward ten to twenty feet, then hit my head on the dashboard. Couldn’t breathe for half a minute or so but I suffered no major injuries.

After 45 years in Fire/EMS there are survival stories I could tell but usually after someone asks me what is the worst thing you have ever seen, they never ask that question again lol
What was it?
My dad was a firefighter and I remember asking him that question and was kinda shocked at the stuff he was willing to tell me when I was just a kid, he passed away 10 years ago though so I’m kinda bummed I couldn’t ask about more.

My uncle was in a motorcycle accident and broke glad the bones on one side of his body when his motorcycle slid on a puddle and went aimlessly through 2 yards and hit a street lamp pole. He's fine now but is still waiting for the doctors to put part of his skull back in, he had amnesia until around 6-8 weeks in with his injuries. The doctors thought he would die but he survived.

One time I was in Kansas in a pool with my family and I had a cramp while swimming in the "deep end" and nearly drownded but I held my breath and waited for me to move my leg again (Which was 45sec and I never held my breath for that long) and swam back to shore. The craziest thing is that I never panicked during the whole thing.
if you were in a pool, how did you swim to shore?
Which pool that big has absolutely no guards or people near by
Maybe Pauly Shore was the lifeguard lol
Bruh how big is that pool to shore big cap
Glad you're okay😐

Once, I got in a seriously dangerous position in a plane crash. It was on fire and flying down in the water. Everybody was flying in the air and the airbags were broken. By then, half of the plane broke off. I jumped with the crew's parachute and survived. I stayed oversea for 27-ish days until rescued. I survived on the wing of the plane. I also fished by hand. It was crazy!
I know some relative of my step mother, was once hit with a stroke unexpectedly 2 hours away from a hospital, with no car. He walked out a doctors clinic where they declared him as fine, but it got worse to he walked for 2 HOURS WITH A STROKE until he reached hospital and was immediately admitted to a room wand was treated.
Apparently the best thing to do when you have a stroke is to just keep yourself up and not lie down and let your body die. Apparently as long as you are up and walking you have a higher chance of survival.
(Btw I am not sure whether it was a heart attack or stroke)
Jeez! Talk about stubborn.
My survival story:
When I was 2 years old I was walking through my parent's kitchen when I came across a boiling pot that was boiling, then I pulled it (still don't know why though) the entire pot fell on me I screamed then my mom and grandma came in and my mom lifted me up and my skin disintegrated. I was rushed to the ER and made a full recovery in 3 months.

My dad always tells me this story about a guy who was a highway construction worker. When he jumped off the side of a truck he landed on a sledgehammer that was sticking straight up, rear end first. I think he ended up having a lot of his intestine removed. This was over 30 years ago and he is still alive to this day
The guy from the handgliding accident is a much better person than me as I'd lawyer up. You're the instructor, safety and knowledge is your main job...how do you forget to buckle someone in?!
May be he saw the death too closely too understand the real meaning of life.
I know this is super old, BUT if you watch the video of this on RUclips he basically jumped and grabbed on to the dude and went up in the air of his own free will. He noticed he wasn’t attached and all he had to do was drop to the ground while he was still like 2 ft off the ground but he doesn’t 🤦🏻♀️ He jumps and grabs on and takes off with the instructor or whoever🤷🏻♀️ it was his fault he was in the air in the first place. If he would have just let go while they were still basically in the ground he would have been fine 😂😂

Yeah, I do have a survival story, my dad was driving on the freeway and going 80 mph (I'll explain why soon) and then he had a seizure, the car hit a light pole with enough force to force it out of the ground and make it fall over, my dad passed out which the medics believed was from the airbag and I just walked out if the car, just a bit dizzy. I hurried to get some help, soon after digging through the trash on the floor (the trashbag spilled) and finding it then calling my mom who is a nurse who came shortly after the paramedics. My dad was released that night after getting a shot of kepra, my stepfather picked up his pills and after my mom and I got him some clothes he was driven back to his apartment with me and my mom. That was something I knew I would never forget.
Edit : I believe my dad was going 80 because of his seizure, he has grandmals which cause him to shake, so I believe his shaking foot caused the car to speed up by hitting the gas pedal over and over

The scuba diver that just went back to work is a crazy story and happened here in Scotland where I live. Most people should have sued them for a fortune and won and said they could not return to work due to PTSD. Remember this happened in Scotland and it was an oil company so he would 100% have won as they did not want the negative publicity and it is a multi-billion dollar company. Yet he accepted it as part of the job and went back to work.
It is absolutely crazy.

My husbands Grandfather was out running his hunting dogs in the woods when he had a heart attack. He managed to call his dogs back, drag himself to his truck, and drove himself to the hospital. All while suffering a near fatal heart attack. He survived and died at the age of 92
I know I already commented about a near death experience I heard of, but there is one that I witnessed myself.
When I was on my way to mount Kosciusko in Australia to see snow for the first time, my family drove past a car that had slipped and managed to go down a hill, rolling front to back 3 times before stopping.
We first thought that it might have been an old car crash where the car had not been picked up yet, but my step mum noticed there was smoke coming out meaning the car had just crashed. There was a woman in there and the car was getting more smoky by the minute meaning, it was going to catch fire.
My dad stopped the car, and then my step mother got out and checked for a person where she found a woman in the drivers seat in complete shock, drifting in and out of consciousness.
My step mother pulled the woman out and took her to just sit on the passenger seat of our car and gave her water, making sure there were no kids in the crashed car, me and my step sister were allowed out.
The woman was in desperate need of her phone to tell her husband what happened, so my step sister and I, being the only ones able to fit, and fully covered from head to toe in puffy clothing to protect us from the snow and cold when we got to mount Kosciusko, went in to look for the phone.
After intense searching in the upside down car for about 10 minutes, we found the phone and got out to give the woman her phone.
Apparently that edge she glided off of was commonly known for people to glide off, and only 4 out of the 25 people (not completely accurate numbers) that a nearby house owner had ever seen crash after gliding off, had survived the ordeal.
Though it’s not surprising that many died as the hill she glided off of had a sharp turn up a huge hill and the side that the woman had crashed on, there was a steep hill just a few metres away from the car.

This remind me of my Great Grandpa who was attack by a Cougar when he was 91 years old and fought it off with nothing but his cane and no one in the family even knew about it until he went to the doctor when he was 93 year old. Where said Cougar Craw was still embedded in his leg from the attack.
I have lost count of how many close calls I have had over the years; one in particular. I was driving down the road near my house when I discovered a beautiful rose bush in someone's yard. I went through the gate where I stumbled upon a sleeping mastiff. It lifted its head and began to growl and slowly made its way toward me. With my back to the gate, I searched desperately for the latch. Then, without warning, the dog leaped me, but thanks to my quick thinking, I swiftly shoved the dog's face, causing it to lose its balance. Stunned at what had happened, all the dog could do is bark at me until I was outside the gate again.
I remember watching a documentary about the diving bell incident and "a superhuman effort" is exactly what the crew mounted in order to save him ... Even though they were certain he'd be dead. Amazingly he survived.

There is something mixed up here regarding the unfortunate saturation diver, Chris, who was left on the seafloor unaided. The documentary about the incident claimed he was in subfreezing temperatures for 37 hours. That's quite a discrepancy between the 35 minutes claimed here. Although it's not unheard of for a drowning victim to survive after being unconscious for a number of hours. If I recall correctly, the discovery of the effectiveness of lowering body temperature has even been used during highly technical surgeries.

My harrowing story took place in the late 70's, I was a 15 year old girl living on Guam, where my family is from. One day 2 of my female cousins and 2 boys that were my cousins neighbors decided to skip school. We lived on Nimitz Hill above the Masu river. It was a shallow river but below my cousins house was more of a pool. We all stripped down to our underwear and spent the whole day swimming. Around 3pm when we were all tired and should have already been home, I heard crackling. Ishouted to the others to hurry up and grab our clothes and stuff and run up the hill. After swimming all day we were so tired and the hill was really steep. It took us a few minutes to reach the top and when we looked back the whole hill side was on fire and the pool where we were swimming was completely covered in flames. I got dressed and ran home. My mom was already home and she asked me why I was covered in soot, I lied and said I got off the bus early to watch the fire at my cousins house. I never went to that pool again.
woah

When he was a kid my other half fell off a cliff. All he had was a broken wrist. Still amazes me how he managed that.
In 2008 I became obsessed with the show Survivorman. 2009 I turned 19 & recieved $40,000 from the insurance company from a car accident i was in, in 2005. I spent $4000 on firearms, ammo, camping supplies, survival gear, any plenty of books. From 2009-2011 I lived in The Flint Hills in Kansas. I practiced and taught bushcraft, survival & primitive skills. Ive never had a license so I rode my bike 7 miles to the lake, with my entire pack attached to my bike and my dog running beside me. I lived in Westmoreland, KS and the lake was 7 miles north up Highway 99. Buddy (year old Cocker Spaniel) and I were just coming to the lake. I had survival classes planned for the weekend. As I was slowing down to take the gravel road down to the lake Buddy got scared by a rustle in a bush. His leash was tied to my handlebars. He yanked the handlebars to the left and I remember putting my hands down to catch myself. I woke up in extreme amounts of pain in my head, neck, back, right knee and right shoulder. Buddy was licking my face, I didn't have a cell phone at the time. (If you out reach your arm and put your fingers horizontal to the sun every finger is 15 minutes, repeat til you hit the horizon.) We had a 45 minutes until sundown, it was around 830pm. I assessed my situation and injuries. I looked up the hill and it was about 60ft up to the road at a 50° incline, 40ft to my bike that was wedged in a tree. I fashioned a sapling as a walking stick then hiked up the hill to grab my bike. Buddy had slipped his collar, I got my pack and went down to the lake. I set up my tent and pulled out the First Aid Kit. I had cuts all over my face & arms, I had a broken nose, my right shoulder hurt so badly I could hardly move it. My head was throbbing and I knew I had a concussion, I was alone and didn't want to risk falling asleep. So I set up some bank lines to catch some fish, went over to a blackberry bush and gathered a bunch of berries. Buddy was off hunting rabbits, I heard a squeal and Buddy comes out the bush with a dead rabbit in his mouth. He sets it down next to me and is off back in the bush hunting. I skinned it, gutted it and started a fire. I put the gut pile down by the waters edge (camp was about 20ft from the waters edge). As im cutting a stick to put the rabbit on (my cooking pot was too small) Buddy comes out the bush crying with something black in his mouth. It was a 5ft Rat Snake, he was bitten (non venomous). I wrapped his leg with a gauze roll from the first aid kit then started skinning the snake. Put the snake guts with the rabbit guts down on the waters edge. Cut another stick to wrap the snake around, put both on the fire. I reeled in the bank lines I had set and added some guts to the trebble hooks and threw them back out. I had a 3 pole permit, fur harvesting license and my landlord was a county deputy sheriff. My fishing pole had broke on the crash down the hill. I used the fishing line I had and tarred bank line for the fishing sets. I normally would fish every day for at least 4 hours, id catch a fish or two for my supper every night. It was around 2330 (1130pm) when I heard a car on the highway, it passed and then turned around. A spot light was shining down the hillside where I had fallen. I heard a door open and my name called. It was my landlord, he was on night shift just checking on me. I tried to yell back but my head started pounding even more. Buddy barked a few times and he drove his patrol car down to me. He confirmed I had a concussion and a few cuts needed stitches. He packed up my camp, and started helping me bring in the lines. The last line had a 8lb Catfish on it, I gutted it on the spot and threw the guts into the lake. I told him I didn't wanna let the snake & rabbit go to waste, he said he'd eat the rabbit if I ate the snake. Snake is very stringy and chewy, I gave Buddy the snake meat and we shared the rabbit & berries I had collected. Wrapped the catfish in some tinfoil I had in my bag, and he strapped my bike down to his roof. I planned on staying awake all night and wait for someone to give me a lift in the morning. We got back to town and stopped at the EMS station we had in our small town (800 people). They stitched me up & even looked at Buddy's bite, he was fine. They told me I could sleep there or at home but I'd need someone to monitor me. my landlord/deputy called his daughter who was a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) and a friend of mine. She came n stayed with Buddy & me. I slept from 0300-0630, my bike had bent rims and the handlebars were snapped. I had breakfast at the town diner every morning at 0700. Biscuits & Gravy with Coffee and a roll. I wasnt able to walk without falling over, so my friend drove me to the diner. Id normally sit and bullshit with all the old folks from 0700-1100 every morning. They were all very concerned about me, some of the old timers said they'd take me fishin anytime I wanted to go. They all knew I had very little money and fished for my food everyday. One guy even offered to give me some spare rods/reels, which i turned down. I prefer the old ways of fishin such Cane Poles, Bank Lines, Trot Lines, Peg Snare Cut Poles, Hand Lines, Tenkara, Spear Fishin, and Trap Fishin. It makes the catch so much better and more satisfying.
I survived my ex. Now that's a survival story. Keep up The good work

“Soup from melted snow”
Sooooo water?
i figured it meant they melted the snow and added the smallest amount of food possible to make it seem they were eating more than they were to help it last longer
Ah yes the roof is made of roof
Hahaha, yeah, I was like... "Huhhh? That's some real nutrient ya got there!"
Yeah basically it’s just water
The reason he said it like that was to fit more context into a short amount of time. We all understand that it becomes water, yeah, but we're not gonna say "they boiled down water to make soup" see that used more words and the video is already at 20 mins...
When I was younger I was nearly hit by an out of control RC plane. Last minute I dove into the trunk of my dads car. Turned out the pilot had failed to check his battery charge on his controller, and wasn't a small plane either, nearly 5 foot wingspan.
Dougal Robertson wrote about the orca attack and their survival ordeal.
Called Survive the Savage Sea, it even comes with a maritime survival guide and drawings of how they made fishhooks for catching turtles and other marine edibles. I highly recommend it if you do any offshore sailing.
Had to read the headline twice. I actually read Licking People Who Survived The Impossible
My aunt was on a rollercoaster and the lap bar came of, her dad managed to hold her on the rollercoaster and she was fine. I think it might have been the Batman coaster before it was redone.
I'm enjoying this video from the comfort of my bed, your content is stopping me going to sleep even though I can watch anytime. I even have amazed playlist that I can go to when I don't have time to watch straight away. I also love your voice in this video please don't change it, I'm sure I heard a different voice kn one of your videos and I didn't get the same vibe of wanting more
My whole life is a survival story.
Mine too
Mine as well
Beats the alternative...👍🏻 Keep up being strong 😎

When u said black mamba I quickly held my breath. I’ve seen them and ik how deadly there venom is

@@meritholdingllc123 yep
Here is one: One time I went swimming on a raft with three other people, and we did wait distribution to keep it from tipping over. But the other person leaned to the side and we fell into the water. I didn't know how to swim, and my friends weren't good at it either, but they somehow grabbed onto me, saving my life, and returned to the water that we could stand in without any major problems.
Wow!
Bulgh: go camping he said it’d be safe he said!
I know
Once, I went to my friends house, and they had a quad cycle or something. The parents let us use it but we had to go slow. Context: Where they live is like one giant neighborhood. So my friend (who was driving) went to grass. I told him: "Be careful, there are ditches here." He said: "Ok". Guess what he did. He ran into a ditch and we were upside down. It was hard to get out but the parents came and got us out. Same day he flipped the cycle at high sperd but luckily, it didn't flip all the way and I was spared.
That jungle plane story freaked me out. I almost started crying. I don’t think I can go on a plane anymore. 😖
My dad is military and when he got deployed he got shot in his armored vest and it was 4 cm from going through it in tirely and only had one broken rib bone
Wow! Your Dad is lucky! Please tell him that a stranger said "Thank-you for your Service! And I'm so glad you are there for your family!" Stay safe and please wear a mask.
@@victoriawilliams2786 thank I’ll tell him and sure thing. 🙂
I was 591st med/log in Iraq 2003, I was shot 4 times and paralyzed from the waist down one bullet missed my heart by 2 cm. I'm told I'm lucky to be alive, call me a whiny ass but idk if lucky is the right word...fucking wheels...just dont quite replace the legs I lost the use of.😐
Holy god i remembered that incident when i was in grade 8
I was only my way to village with my family for the first time of my life
It takes 2 days to reach there from where I'm living
It was raining that day the roads were not so good it was all muddy
Then we arrived at the place called chandadha there were a lot of red mud which are really slippery when they are exposed to water
We were nearly at the top of the hill and well at that time in Nepal we really had bad roads
The jeep started to drift because it was so slippery we were near the edge about 6 times and nearly fell from those high high cliffs
It was really really bad for my heart
The jeep driver was really good
If he was not i wouldn't be here to share my story
Great god. Hope your ok.
@@dr.zamanritu9033 i never wanted that kind of thrill🤣 but god gave me one
I'm good
Thank you❤️

This dudes voice would be perfect for a horror movie story time its awesome
I got into the passenger seat with my 15 year old student driver for many trips before he got his license.
I can relate to someone who almost go t hit by a car. I was about 14 at the time, I was riding my bike and as I was crossing the road, a car had turned right infront of me. I immediately .griped my brakes, almost lost my balance. In short. I had missed the car by about an inch. and obviously I survived :P
For Poon Lin, he doesn’t have the record any more. The record is by a guy in El Salvador at over 430 days lost in the pacific
survival story:
i was at the pool with my brother, mom, and another random kid. I told him to push me underwater for 10 seconds. But 10 seconds passed and he was still pushing me underwater. So i tried to swim out and started yelling, and after 3 seconds he finally let go of me and ended up swallowing some water
i fell off a 50ft mountain in a car that rolled and landed on the top and luckily people on a near by island helped us and surprisingly none of us had that bad of injuries.
Damn. Dude spent all that time at sea, only lost 20 pounds.
You watch "Alone", them guy lose mass amounts of weight!
He was probably only a buck 50 or 60 to begin with.
He was still eating
This too creepy he said at the start it's nail biting and I was biting my nails THEN he said you may be watching in the comfort of your bed and guess what I'm in my bed!
“Toasting marshmallows”??? I could’ve sworn you roast not toast but idk
I once survived something really crazy, it was wen my mom came out with the wooden spoon i almost died
I grew up in the 80s/90s too;damn the wooden spoons!
I bet you never did what got you there again. Some parents need to put those spoons back in action.
For Chris Lemons, I bet that death defying experience became from fun to "sour!" XD
Sorry, couldn't help the inside joke...!
The way that Poon Lim just happened to find a lifesaving raft in the ocean is the most amazing part of his story. Talk about Providence!
My serious near-death story: 4 hours ago, I almost died to 2 basketballs
How did you almost die to a pair of balls?
@@silver1340 so many jokes… so many…
What if something worse woulda happend if thay had gone to the beach?- Butterfly effect

The best survival story was when I was at the beach in Santiago chele and accidentally swam out a little too far getting caught by a current then my foot caught onto a rock and my cousin helped my back onto shore thankfully.
My uncle was a marine. He was able to escape from a sinking submarine.
Sorry I don't know many of the details, he has a severe panic attack when asked about it
thats crazy... poor guy
