Ever experienced life threatening situation that changed your life ? Share your story with us.

I swam too far out from the shore of Lake Michigan once. I had no idea just how "heavy" the water is as its gets deeper. I had to have help getting back towards shore, otherwise I probably wouldn't have made it.

You probably got caught up in the current. I hear they can really pull you far from shore in practically no time at all. Lucky you got help.

I had a similar experiance when I was about 14. I was swimming in the credit river and allowed it to take me downstream riding the rapids. It wasn't that dangerous the water isn't too deep there and you can easily get to shore. When I went to stand up my foot slipped and my leg got logged between two rocks, the river's current pulled me under. I couldn't do much other than try to free my leg which i did. Pretty scary shit man. I thought I was a goner for a second or two.

Did it change my life? nope. I still do stupid shit and I'm in my late 40's now.
