Reading Geoffw's thread on skydiving had me thinking what have been your scariest moment/s
Jumping out of a perfectly good plane would be mine (yet to do it).
Falling out of a tall tree and luckily grabbing a branch on the way down to slow my fall
I admit to being spooked when diving/working in low visibility water and coming across a huge manta ray who had chunks taken out of it and was bleeding in the water and then a few secs later having the tail of a huge shark wave in front of me
Another shark event would be when a work mate was taken by a shark (believed to be a tiger shark), we searched without joy, only finding some pieces of equipment
At night, looking at a creek you've swum across during the day and working out how many croc's are in the water due to the eye's you can count in the torchlight
Waking up on your back after you've taken a kick from electricity (note - electricity bites).
I still have the scars on my hand of a fight where the other guy pulled a knife - remind's me of the "this close" quote, I misjudged and didn't catch the wrist, end result is a nice scar on my thumb
Other events not named to protect the guilty and avoid a law suit
Nowadays, I worry more about my kids than myself
