80 Life-or-Death Moments When Gut Feelings Became Unshakeable Lifelines
My instincts, plus the new midwifes instinct to listen to me instead of her colleague, saved both mine and my daughters life.
I am forever thankful to her.
I was backpacking in New Mexico and was about to take a step when I had a weird feeling and threw my arm out to stop my buddy from going, and directly in front of us was a coiled rattlesnake that began rattling like crazy. Was kinda cool because it was so outside of my conscious mind, it just felt like my body was like “don’t f*****g go there man”.
I’m not sure we would have died but it wouldn’t have been pretty. We had a fire going in the backyard at a friend’s house. My friend’s dad decided to burn some junk from the garage. Mostly old boxes and papers and stuff. So we’re helping feed that stuff into the fire. I grab the next small box to throw in and I can tell there’s something in this one. There had been stuff in most of them but it was always just pamphlets and little bits of packaging so we had stopped really checking and were just throwing them in. Well, I’m standing there with the box over the fire about to drop it when I decide to check this one. It was full of live mortar shell fireworks. My friend’s dad decided we had burned enough garage junk at that point.
Hit by a car while riding a motorcycle. Old lady who could barely see in Palm Beach ran a light and hit me. August in S. Florida and for some reason that day I put on a leather jacket and full face helmet. Helmet and leathers destroyed, I walked away.
Definitely had the feeling that a power greater than myself made that decision for me.
