What's the scariest thing youve experienced?

I'm pretty unremarkable, but I have a few:

>The time I was climbing a mountain, The Tongariro crossing, great climb here in nz, and at a section around a crater we were climbing just above it, on a reasonable but not too steep slope, I was about 10/ 15 metres from the edge of the slope going down into the crater and I felt the loose rock under me move and I slid back like half a metre? It was over 15 years ago....I so nearly shat myself there..... especially as a inexperienced teen....and it was a school trip....so poorly planned.



> Surgery to get something cut out of my neck, that scared the daylights out of me, wasn't a particularly dangerous surgery, but that potential of death was ... oof.... especially as an ex bubble boy.


>Having to call the ambulance on my best friend/flatmate who tried to OD. That one still haunts me a bit. She survived thank the Lord, but having to force yourself into action because if you do nothing they will die....all I can say, is think about the person that finds you..... please.


What about you? What are some of the scariest things you've experienced? I'm sure most will be way worse than mine, but I'm curious about other people's experiences

The #2 most venomous snake in the world, the Eastern Brown Snake, is quite common in the part of the world I grew up in. One slithered across my bare feet when I was a little fella. And another was under a rock I was going to throw in the water. I dropped the rock back on it and scarpered. I think everyone in town had a story or two.

At a family gathering we went out camping on the Nullarbor Plains. One of my Aunts screamed frantically in the night and got us all in our cars and rushed out of the area. She swore she saw a Little Hairy Man at our camp fire and we weren't going to hang around. (Little hairy Men is part of Aboriginal folklore. Like Bigfoot but more dangerous.)

Seeing a medical team working on my wife in ICU after she "coded." She made it okay.

Several scary encounters with men I didn’t know. One that tried to break into my house, two when I was out in walks in my neighbourhood, twice when driving, once at the video store, and at my office earlier this week

Having open heart surgery to get my mitral valve replaced. I was in congestive heart failure and had a fifty fifty chance of survival if I did not get the operation done.

Old man tried to kidnap me at the arcade when I was a kid. I got other scary stuff but that one stands out.
