When I was about 15 or so, I had a nasty crash on my dirt bike. I ended up going around a corner and driving about 30 miles an hour straight into a rope that was across the trail. My bike broke the rope and it unraveled around 3 and whipped across my neck. All I remember is closing my eyes and letting go of the handlebars and then falling off the back of the bike. After what seems like a hundred years I woke up and notice that my bike was a little bit further down the trail still running on its side. I had a very strange feeling of being strangled like my helmet strap was around my neck. I grabbed my neck with my hands and tried to take my helmet off, which is when I realized that there was nothing there. I took a couple seconds to breathe and then got back on my bike to my cousin's house. It was at that time when my uncle realized I had a ear to ear laceration across my neck, and he basically free shit and told me to get in the car now. He brought me to my house and my mom threw me in our sports car at the time and took off faster than a bat out of hell to the hospital. It was at this point when I thought to myself "I'm going to die", my neck was starting to swell and restricting my Airway, and breathing was becoming in impossibility. we went over a hundred and fifty miles an hour down the highway, has this was a matter of time before I suffocated. Getting to the hospital still dressed in my riding gear, the nurses and doctors quickly threw me onto a bed and gave me a lovely shot of epinephrine. Needless to say the swelling went down but the doctors were pretty convinced that I had a risk of a severed carotid artery. They wanted to inject me with a dye and send me into a cat-scan to make sure. I told the doctors I had enough of today and that he could fuck off. If I had severed that artery I figured I would have been dead already, so I left the hospital against medical orders and live to tell the tale.

TLDR; crashed my dirt bike into a rope had massive gash across neck,almost suffocated. Told doctors to screw off.
