I was out to the beach with family and relatives last night, we stayed until around 1:30 am we started to pack our stuff. A group of us left and it had about 7 people 2 teenage boy an 8 year old ,2 teenage girls ,40+ year old woman , 20 and 27 year old woman. I left 2 mins after them so did another relative a couple stayed behind packing whats left 3 mins after we left we saw the first group's cars in a collision head on with a palm tree , the car was destroyed I stopped my car on the side and so did my other relative and just ran excepting the worst I saw them pulling the 40+ woman from the car and she was just laying there on there floor my relative checked if she was still alive and she was, my other cousins who were in the car we crying and screaming I was trying to calm the rest of them down they were a lot of people it was chaos, was at the hospital until 7 am this morning , they all had a couple of cuts and bruises except for the woman she had a broken arm and leg , considering the state of the car I was thinking most of them were dead.

One of the scariest moments in my life when I saw the car and I didn't know what I was about to see. These family members I grew up and been around all my life see them every week very very close , to see them in this state was just so shocking I keep getting the flashback of when I first saw the car and how I felt
 
Wow I guess I would feel pretty scared if I was in you position, especially with family or friends involved. Witnessing a car crash is pretty horrible but a thousand times worse when its someone close to you. Best thing to do is stay calm and organised, sounds like it got handled ok.
Hope they make a quick recovery.

Oh yeah how exactly did they crash into the tree? Did you get any pictures of the car?
 
some guy was exiting a gas station and instead of just sticking to the right lane(we have LHD roads cars just to let you know) he decided to drive in a cool and take two lanes slowly they hit him and swerved heading for the tree , no pics maybe my cousins would take a pic of it when they go to the police station tomorrow, its a 2007 GMC Yukon XL. I didn't witness the crash I was like 1 min behind them and with my relative in the car parked I looked to my side and so the car and I just parked the car on the side too and ran I actually left the engine running and door open

the driver is in jail now , but I don't our family are going to let him stay there he didn't mean to do the accident on purpose, we are just glad that it came to his only
 
Yeah, that's terrible. I don't know how Gil and EMS people do it.

Scariest moment like that for me was while I was at Versailles restaurant (famous Cuban place in Miami, although the food sucks). I was eating my dinner and all of a sudden this 60ish-year-old guy slams his hands on my table and the table next to me. I was like, "whoa, what's up, bud?" and then he just fell straight forward, smashing his face into the floor. Passed out cold like right next to me. My grandpa and I took care of him until the paramedics got there; he thought the guy had some kind of aorta blockage. I remember the guy trying to sit up and turning ghost white. I'll bet he had a pacemaker installed that night.

So, yeah. That was pretty intense. Everyone around us got all freaked out too. Nobody finished their meal.
 
When I was fishing in the Florida Keys for a week or two, we where returning to this house we rented that had an entrance to a canal that lead out into the open waters, well a HUGE storm had just caught us by surprise (they really can do that) and we where pulling into the canal when there was this incredibly bright blinding light followed by the loudest bang I ever heard. With a mixture of common sense and the short feeling of electricity running through my body I knew that me, my uncle, my aunt, my uncles client and kids, where almost struck by lightning. It hit the canal;
 
I'm glad to hear that no one has life-threatening injuries. It sure sounds like a scary moment.
 
Glad to hear everyone is pretty much OK. And I'm sure the Yukon had more than a little to do with them being OK. Those are pretty bullet proof.

Agreed, I bet the car of the driver at fault is pretty banged up after being slammed into by a Yukon.

My dad had a friend at work who owned (and still owns) a GMC Sierra 3500 dually. He got into a crash with a semi and the only reason he survived was becuse he was driving a Sierra. After the fact he said that the cost of fuel and difficulty of parking are worth it, because a truck like that will save your life.

Man, I would have been pretty mortified if that were me coming up behind that crash, glad to hear everyone is for the better.

Simalair thing happened to my dad couple of weeks ago. Dunno if any UK members are familiar with a road in Sussez that goes up to beachy head on the south coast, well he was driving on that and there was a car ahead, its a narrow road and he saw a car coming the other way in the distance so he slowed down expecting the woman to but she didnt and they collided head on at about 40mph, my dad was the only one there and he said it was the single most horrific accident he has ever seen, the woman was in agony and completely had her legs crushed and the other guy was in a bad way but not as bad.
 
I had a moment like that while driving behind a buddy of mine. I watched as he slowly lost control, slid off the road, straddled a guardrail rolling the car, and then I looked out the side window horrified as his car rolled over and over.

The first thing I saw when I got up to the car was him climbing out the side window with blood all over his face. He was ok though, just minor cuts.
 
Scariest moment I had was when I was on my way to pick up my new kicks at the postoffice, and I pass this pretty wide alley with an old lady slowly walk up the alley, towards me. She wore some weird hat, so I kept staring. Suddenly she trips and faceplants straight into the crete. My first impulse was to laugh, 'cause it looked hilarous, but then I rushed forward, helped her up, and called the emergency service. She'd only gotten a fatlip, but you never know with old people, braking hips is like breathing for them.


Still, glad they weren't hurt. And that guys already in jail, no fooling around down there, eh?
 
My scariest experience would probably have to be, when my Sister, her boyfriend, and I got hit by a tornado back in 1997. We were in a upper loft in Hamtramck, MI, when all of a sudden the lights started flickering, as the rain pounded upon the windows. Next thing we knew the windows imploded, as the twister proceded to tear away the attic, leaving a gaping hole where the ceiling used to be, also it peeled back the south wall of the building like it was a banana. Oddly enough I was the most injured of three of us, with numerous glass cuts/ punctures, and got hit in the head with a speaker box (luckily the speaker hit my leg first). My sister somehow managed to escape injury of any kind, and her boyfriend had minor cuts. Logically, I know the tornado only lasted a few seconds, but it seemed like many minutes of mayhem. My concussion aside, I still had chunks of glass imbedded in my body for months there after. That tornado sure gave me a new respect for Ma Nature.

As a side note, The movie Twister did a superb job of re-creating the sound of being in a tornado; spot on.
 
My most scary experince of my life happened some time earlier this year. I was in my Science class, and we were watching a very disgusting video. There was a part of the video which had a healthy liver, and a unhealthy liver. The damage to the unhealthy one had been caused by to much drink. And to think that the healthy one was bad enough. I started to feel a bit light headed. Then we started reading a book, and I saw another picture of these two livers in there. Suddenly, my vision went blue, then blacked out completely. I had fainted, slammed my head on the desk, but then fell of the stall, and hit my head very hard on the floor. When I came round, I was lying on the floor, and at first there didn't seem anything wrong, until I was told that there was blood pouring out of my head, very near to my eye. Anyway, I went to hospital, and they checked me out, and I was fine. Except that I had to wear a flipping bandage around that area. But I went back to school the next day, so it wasn't so bad... Eventually!
 
I’m sorry, it must have been terrible for you to see a palm tree get injured like that. I hope it has a full recovery.
 
Good to hear everyone survived, my scariest moment was when me & my dad were going to Cheddar Gorge, we had to drive down this very steep hill, & the brakes failed. My dad slammed on the handbrake & we slid into a few trees at the edge of the hill. A few more metres & we would have gone right of the edge.
 
My scariest moment was back when I was 6, when I watched my 4 year old sister run into the side of a car, luckely the car didn't travelled so fast, otherwise I wouldn't have had a sister today...
 
My word, Mohammed :eek: Thankfully nobody was more seriously injured, and hopefully nobody is too traumatized by the incident - but it may take some time before everyone is over it since you can never underestimate the effects of a shock like that. Sounds like you dealt with the immediate aftermath amazingly well...
 
well the woman had surgery she had to fractures in her thigh and one in her arm, but she is doing OK now, most are doing OK now
 
That is pretty darn scary, i'd probably be a wreck if I saw one of my family member's car crash into a tree or anything for that matter be it serious or minor. I heard that my sister's ex-boyfriend was driving with his friend in seperate cars and his friend in front of him got in an accident with another car, his friend's car caught on fire, people attempted to get him out but they couldn't and he saw his friend burn to death. That stuff makes me really sad even when I don't know the person.

I'm very glad everyone is OK though man. 👍
 
Ever thought of getting some First Aid training? That's exactly the sort of situation you'd want some in.

Good to hear everyone's OK. Sounds like a lucky escape.
 
New scariest moment in my life:

I watched 2 girls 1 cup...:scared::scared::ouch::yuck: :banghead: :mad:👎👎👎👎👎👎:sick:

I'm warning all of the people on this site to NEVER do that.

It is the most disgusting vial thing I have ever seen. I highly recommend NOT EVER EVER watching it in this life, and future lives.
 
Finding my mum whe she tried to commit suicide. She pulled through but 6 months later, she tried it again and :(, we lost her.

second time I found her "saying goodbye note" and my father and I went looking for her and somehow, I taxied my father to the exact spot where she jumped in the canal and drowned.


This was my mother on her wedding day.
