I almost passed out during a lecture on trafic safety.
I was 15 y old and there was a surgeon from the hospital showing images from the surgery of people from trafficaccidents: Telling when there was blood coming out of the mouth, they had to cut open the entire thorax and abdomen (pictures all over the place), … , pictures of legs with the flesh ripped off, etc. etc.
When i felt dizzy I ended up showing an entire roll of mint in my mouth and a Mars-bar to get my blood sugar up. (mars+mints=good stuff) started tensing whatever muscle I could tense just to get my blood pushed to my brains.
I barely made it without fainting and left me with the conclusion that Im was going to buy an armoured Humvee as my first car.

We used to do this dumb thing at school where you grabbed your ankles and hyper ventilated then held your breath and stood up against a wall, then had a guy push on your chest 'til you passed out… Seemed like a good idea at the time…
Oh, shit! My friends and I did that one time when I was in high school. They kept pushing on my chest, but nothing was happening. Then, I started laughing so they just let go. I spun around, fell, and the back of my head hit the pavement.
I remember waking up and just seeing shadows of people around me, then I grabbed the throat of the person closest to me. Eveything slowly came into focus, and I felt nauseous as hell. It freaked everyone out.[/quote]
Was I the only kid who just chuckled and said, ‘No thanks, guys. But you go have your fun’ on this one?
I blame this phenomenon for most stupid people I see nowadays. Of course, they were pretty stupid to try it in the first place.
I only time I didn’t pass out from alcohol is the day I gave birth. A few hours after labor when I was alone in my hospital room, I got up to go the bathroom. When I stood up from the toliet, I passed out from moving too fast. When I came to, I thought I was holding my baby when it happened so I was crawling on the floor looking for my baby. Thank god no one saw that episode, me crawling on the bathroom floor in a johnny looking for an imaginary baby.
Passed out several times.
From heat exhaustion while riding my bike
After giving blood
After strenuous mountain hiking without eating for a day
Got knocked out cold twice
During a college field hockey game I got clobbered hard with an illegal high stick, woke up with a broken jaw and a missing molar
During a sailboat race I got coldcocked after setting the spinnaker pole in a 20 knot wind, and almost fell overboard, but the boat I was crewing on won the race
I’m pretty sure I passed out once. A couple years ago I was sitting infront of the computer… arguing with my ex-gf on the phone… I was extremely angry I remember… and then all of a sudden I got wicked dizzy… fell out of my chair… and I woke up 5 hours later in the same spot.
I’m honestly not sure what happened… I just remember panicking as I was waking up/coming out of it… and I remember wondering where my parents were.
I’m also pretty sure I passed out just the other weekend when my friend showed me his nipple ring… went to take it out… and ripped part of his nipple off.
Vacation in croatia. Fell asleep in the sun with my shirt off, no biggie “man sunburn doesn’t hurt at all” I said. Went out drinking all night and came back to the hotel. Sat ont he patio for 10 minutes, got up out of the chair and just lost control.
Just fell over, woke up a little while later. And then it hit me, sunburn really does hurt, a lot.
My old sparring partner missed a head throw and i landed straight on my head and totally fucked my neck up. Passed out for 30 sec or so. Didn’t feel to great, still flinch when i wrestle with him and his lazy ass head throw… Didnt really affect me when it comes to wrestling with other people though…
When I was 7 I attempted to jump onto the top of my bunk bed, but my brother shut the lights off at the right time and my head connect with the bottom frame, got a nasty cut by my eyebrow. I was out for about a minute.
When I was 10 a friend of mine was trying to hit a bee with a pipe and he got me by accident. wasn’t out long, but had a nasty headache for a couple days.
That same year I was playing hockey in a parking lot, my friends stick broke and the remaining part that hit me knocked me out for a bit. Got a pretty good scar next right eye.
At 13, me and my friends were karate fighting/wrestling matches in the backyard, i got choked out. was out for a few seconds.
This past year, I passed out before giving blood, fell off a high stool head first after my finger was pricked.
Passed out once from exertion after running 100 yard ‘buffalo sprints’ during football practice in August heat. Me and my buddy were really pushing it since we were leaders. Actually both ended up backed out on the benches in the locker room. I woke up, saw that everybody was gone, puked, and then revived my buddy haha.
Soph year I caught a pass out of the backfield and took it down the sideline. Stiffarmed a Dback and decided to hurdle his fallen body- bad idea- he grabbed my legs and I came down right on top of my melon. I was seeing triple, and don’t remember much else that night.
Passed out once in the college gym, I was using the cable stack and about to do lying cable extensions when I pulled on the bottom pulley, the handle that was attached to the top of the cable machine wasn’t clipped on properly, the thing smashed me right in the right side of my forehead. I remember slipping off the bench and that was it for a bit.
I ended up with a golf-ball sized lump on my head and a few hours at the ER for observation.
Three years ago I passed out while attempting to insert a urinary catheter. There is simply no shittier an experience than shoving a tube up your own dick. Never again…

Once after giving blood, oops.
Once after swimming too long, too hard in too tight of a swim cap. I blacked out and came to nude in the lockerroom, and I have no idea how I got there or how I got naked.[/quote]
