1) Being held at gun point in a bad area of Cape Town, South Africa. My father and I took a wrong turn into a bad area of town. He insisted that if we walked on through one street, we'd end up where we wanted to be. Then we ran into a bunch of kids... One pointed a gun at my face and told me to empty my bockets. Fucker took my sunglasses and my wallet, then he and his friends tackled me and started punching and kicking. Two broken ribs and a broken jaw. This was when I was 13. They knocked my dad out by hitting him in the head with a gun, and they took over $150 from him (hidden in his shoes, which they also took). They really cleaned us out. Well, at least I can say that I spent a night in a South African hospital.
2) Car accident in Camden, NJ. Wasn't a nice area, but what part of Camden is? Of course, my friend left his cell phone home on that night.
3) I nearly died in a Less Than Jake pit at Warped 2001. It was about 95 degrees that day, and I was trying to save money by not buying a lot of water. The crowd started swaying back and forth, and a girl was knocked down. I somehow tripped over her, and hit the ground. People were quick to help her up, leaving me on the ground. Finally, two big guys helped me up, but I soon got nailed in the head with a pair of steel toed boots. Security had to help me out. Dehydration and a concussion. Not a good combination, if you ask me.
