20 Times People Dodged Life-Ruining Bullets

Was it divine intervention, or their gut decision that saved them?

You’re walking down a street, spaced out, lost in your thoughts, about to cross the street when suddenly you had a gut feeling to stop. Then, seconds later, a car burst, through the red light and flipped over and crashed. It would have killed us for sure. You would’ve been run over if it wasn’t for your fast reflexives, which helped you make a quick decision, and you managed to dodge a massive bullet which probably would’ve turned out to be quite fatal. No, I am not referring to a scene from a movie; sometimes things escalate very quickly, jumping from zero to hundreds in an instant. We’ve all had some close calls, and you might wonder what could’ve gone wrong if you were not so lucky just how bad things would have turned out to be.

A close call, or as some might refer to it, a near-miss incident, may happen by chance; or it could be the result of any equipment failure or not, following established safety rules. Whatever the reason may be, you start to value your life more after your brush with death, and it’s up to the individual to share their near-death experience with people.

We have found some individuals from Reddit, who have shared their near-death experiences. And believe me, these are not scenes taken from the movie “Final Destination”, these people have gone through their traumatic experiences and luckily enough, by some miracle or because of a gut decision lived to tell the story. So let’s start reading without further delay.
