Hey Pandas, what was the most terrifying moment of your life?

#1

So far I guess it’s this one, and I don’t want anything even SCARIER to happen. Once I went to a water sports club on the edge of a lake (with my friends and one of my BFF’s boyfriend ) and we went canoeing. They went on paddle boards, but because I have megalophobia and severe fear of deep water (I’d actually passed out once) I went on a kayak so I don’t fall into the water.
In the middle of the lake, BFF’s boyfriend and BFFs start goofing around and deliberately jumping into the lake. But it’s ok for THEM since they can climb right back up. But then BFF’s boyfriend goes up to me and randomly flip over the kayak. Fell into the lake, screamed, said curse words, and generally flipped out. It all worsened when a FISH decided swim past my legs and I looked down. The water was pretty cold, but I had my life jacket on, so I just sort of floated there, yelling next to my flipped-over kayak, with other canoeing people eyeing me to shut up and it’s no big deal.
After one BFF hooked the flipped kayak onto her paddle board and we pushed it back to shore with me in the water SWIMMING, the BFF yelled at her boyfriend for being stupid and not knowing I have fear of deep water.
Yup. Nice friends.

When I told my mom I was pregnant. I thought she was going to kick me out.

When I was 4, my bro was 6, and his friend was 8. We were down by a river where we didn’t belong (mid 1970’s free range kids), when my brothers friend said he had lifeguard training. My brother shoved me in the river- so his friend could prove it. I couldn’t swim and got caught in a whirlpool. To this day I remember the yellow water with little bits of debris swirling around me.
My brother ran screaming to the bar about a block away when his friend did nothing and one of the men there came running and jumped in and saved me, getting pneumonia in the process. (Early spring, lots of ice melt & frigid water).

I was stopped at a light when four young men opened my doors and started punching me. I somehow backed up and drove off, (the mechanics couldn’t figure out how I did it, but car was totaled), only to find out they hadn’t punched me, they’d been stabbing me. The last thing I remembered, I’d gotten out of the (now totaled) car, and was walking down the street in shock, with my white tee completely saturated with blood. I next remembered holding the inside of my left breast in my hand, and the doctor in ER stitching me up. I don’t remember anything after that until I was removing my stitches. Terrifying.

Oml literally happened and hour ago...
I was walking my dog and saw a plane.. but it looked weird. It like wasn't as big as the usual planes that fly around...
My mind started wandering and I was like what if that's an out of country plane from russia(idk) than I heard a siren noise and I bout almost had a heart attack thinking this plane was goin to start shooting me...
It flew over.. and turns out that noise was large trucks driving on the highway behind my house...
So now I'm wondering what would've happened if it all was real😬😋

Probably when I took my sister into the river to swim. She was scared of water normally, but the people we were with said it wasn't too deep and you could just float down to a spot 100m away that got shallower so she let me put her on my back to go together. Once we got into the water, it was deeper tan she expected or something and she freaked out. She started trying to both get out of the water and hold onto me, which ended up meaning she was pushing me under. I eventually managed to move close enough to a tree branch that was in the water and she grabbed onto that while I caught my breath. Then I had the slow process of trying to get her from the branch to te bank while she was still freaking out.
