I suspect many of us are lucky to have survived childhood (and young adulthood). What was your scariest moment?

One time we arrived at a train station drunk, and decided to cross the train tracks, instead of walking through the underpass tunnel. Just when I was jumping to the tracks, my friend stopped me and a train that I hadn't noticed passed the station full speed.

We crossed the tracks anyway. Between the tracks there's a fence and I cut my pants from the crotch when I climbed over it. Later my mom noticed the cut and said: "I hope you haven't been crossing railway tracks". "Of course not", I replied. To this day I wonder how the fuck she knew!! We didn't even live close to any railway tracks.
