It's amazing how close you can come to dying, without actually crossing the line.
About four years ago, I was trying to climb a wall of boulders at the head of one of the canyons near here. I slipped, fell and beat a rock to death with my head. The blood just poured all over me. It didn't really hurt too much, but I suddenly realized just how close I'd come to something far more serious.
