What is the scariest situation you've ever been in?

To each their own.

Just for the sake of carrying on the conversation I think the AK47 in the open was the harshest on my ears of any weapon I've fired

AK is the harshest everything. I really dislike that weapon.

We can't get AK's here, but we have lots of SKS's same round, similar gas system and yes, they are absolutely ridiculous.

I was a crew member on an aircraft (de Havilland Dash 7) that got caught in a violent storm. We were getting thrown all over the place. At one point the aircraft made a huge drop that simulated no gravity. I was briefly floating in the air. We thought we were done but made it to a clear area and were able to RTB.

Ran wide on my motorbike and went head on into a car.

All I had time to think was "fuck" and impact. Miraculously got away almost injury free though at the time by foot felt wrong and it took me ages to dare look at it in case I'd ripped it off or something.

Scariest was riding shotgun with a drunkin madman. I thought my life was over. The dude was one of my best friends. He was flying all over the road in the ditch. The weird thing is my buddy's in the back seat just acted like that was normal shit.

I have never flown in any aircraft my entire life. So that would scare the living shit out of me.

Watching the nursing staff and doctor fuck up my son's birth. I could only stand there as these women seemed to do everything in their collective powers to try to kill him. Everything was in Polish and my Polish was only "so-so."
The constant screw-ups continued for another 4 weeks until he succumbed to their combined incompetence and willingness to gamble with his life was a nightmare that we never woke up from......there are no words to describe the emotions that you have to deal with but scary is an understatement.

We were surrounded and pinned down. No back up coming. Watched my squadmates die one by one until it was just me. then BLAM BLAM I see red and it all fades to black.

I woke up a little bit later at the respawn and courageously ran back into enemy fire. Lather, rinse and repeat. All told I was 3 and 15 for that round.

The most scared I've ever been was swimming early in the morning on a Florida beach by myself and having a hammerhead come up behind me in chest-deep water. Ran out of the water screaming "OH FUCK OH FUCK OH FUCK", walked back to my condo and a couple on the balcony watched the whole thing, told me "yeah we were watching that shark swim around for the last half hour or so."

Oh, thanks for the warning cocksuckers.

I was with a small group of contractors in North West Africa aka bum fuck no where on our way to reclaim a vessel that was stolen. We are in the back of a truck with one of those canopy type covers on it hiding as all of us are cracker ass white and don't belong where we are. So we're sitting back here and our driver yells back "ROAD BLOCK". Basically a bunch of armed skinnys set this up as a way to shake down unfortunate bastards coming through an area. One of the guys looks through the canopy and says "get ready this might be bad". HG has never had the stress as much as he did when one of these armed fools lifts open the canopy and sees several armed to the teeth white men looking back at him with countless guns aimed at him. This kid's(he was maybe late teens) eyes opened up as large as I've ever seen. He looked at us for a brief moment and slowly closed the canopy never saying a word. We were waved on. I don't that any of us relaxed for hours after that in fear of a bigger group waiting for us somewhere down the road.

Jebus we were lucky

Wow, close to 6 months ago I was at the house by myself in the living room. I heard something in the basement sounded like someone messing with the garage door. Grabbed my glock 9 from night stand and took off down the stairs.

Whoever it was must have heard me coming down bc they took off. Door was wide open abd when I stepped outside I just barely caught a glimpse of kid go between two house.

The only reason this event scared the shit out of me is I was about 10 seconds away from shooting a teen. Still gives me uneasy feeling to think about it.

Shit bro, I'm sorry this happened to you and your wife and son.

This is by far the toughest thing out of any of us that I have read.

I'm sorry this happened...

I appreciate your words. Honestly, the only thing anyone can do after the dust settles, literally and figuratively, is take as many lessons as you can from it all. There's a lot of bad I have learned about some people however there's also some good I've learned about myself....I won't live forever and I'll see him when it's time

Damn man I'm sorry. You'll see him again one day. Have you had any other kids since then?

I don't want to hijack this thread but the answer is no we haven't...and most likely will not. Either way, the world will keep spinning

I almost got hit by a crazy driver a few days ago around midnight. He blew right through the Red 30 seconds late and almost hit me. I swerved away in time. close call.

Not sure if he was drunk/sleepy or brazen.

your scary story was heartbreaking. got some tears welling up because i can semi relate. some chick blew threw a stop sign and t-boned my side of the car while i was 9 months pregnant. i was actually due on the day she hit us. stuff went real bad, real quick..he was born immediately when i got to the hospital..and blue. the neo natal emergency team came in...i was in shock..but i remember my husband saying...why isn't he responding?. that's when i lost it. because he's extremely calm...and he wasn't anymore. for what seemed to be an eternity but probably just a few minutes i thought i lost him. my son is ok..revived and only suffered a broken collar bone.. i'm so sorry for your loss..and i know i only felt what that agony must be like for an instant, i'm sure it's a pain that lingers. i have no other words...my heart goes out to you and your wife.
