So what close calls have you had? Full story if possible please!

here are a few of mine.

I am a surfer, and offshore ive had a few close calls.
This was during a storm with 40+ft swell. The water was moving in and out of the beach very fast. You would be standing in sand, then in water up to your neck in seconds..There was this wall of mist, a broken wave, that was moving at me incredibly fast. I was in water past my knees, so i figured hey, why not! What i could not see was the bigger wave moving faster, which was not broken yet. Just as the first wave hit me, the second wave hit it, and quite literally, thew me head first, fully airbourne, into the shallow water, after which I was dragged against my will, body moving in ways it never has, all the way to the retaining wall at the end of the beach...Needless to say i realized how insane it was to surf that day...but thats not the closest call ive had..

Out , just at that last wave before your clear of the breakers, a buoy attatched to a buried lobster trap wrapped itself around me. The waves, around 7 feet kept on pounding me, and the trap kept on dragging me below. I managed to undo my leash, which cleared the board and released the bouy from its sling...I had quite the swim to shore, where i sat there for a while.....a long while...

Ive had a few more, but i will let others tell their stories first.
