Thanks for being so quick.
Anyways, I remember, well it was far from near death, a rather gruesome experience: When I was fourteen or so, I used to be really active in this fire dept youth thing. We'd go around the town to practice on how to be firemen. Or play Sega Megadrive in the cellar. One day while I was fixing a hose that would have rolled around and trashed some equipment if it wasn't properly laid out on yard, some dope forgot to tell the others that he was letting pressure to the pipe. The water rushed though it and made the hose hard as concrete and my hand was still in the middle of it, trying to find the section where the next part of the line would be rigged to. Well, long story short, water came, I snapped my hand out of the roll just in time and the hose grinded my glove to smithereens.
I was kinda...relieved.
