We like to remember the good times, but we for sure remember the bad times. Saw something on the science channel once fear is a much stronger emotion then joy is. Something about it sticks with you and really stamps a lasting memory.
So what is the most terrified moments of your life. Not just a little scary, but what made you actually terrified?

I have a few. All true stories.
#1 - Absolutely the most terrified I've ever been was to have a nearly full grown mountain lion jump on me. Long story cut short, friends found a cub stranded, took home, kept it it for well over a year so it was getting close to adulthood. Friend asked me to come check it out, went inside and he said stand there and let me go get it. Fully expecting to see it in a cage, at the very least on a chain or something. Waiting and I look down the hallway and I see this head turn the corner and I remember well, those yellow eyes looking at me. I heard my friends voice in the backroom and he said just stay still, don't move. The cat comes at me and my fight or flight is just going crazy inside me but I did what he said, just stood there stiff as a tree. The cat jumps at me and pushed me against the wall, dug his claws slightly into my shoulders and easily took his head and turned my head to the side and put his mouth on my neck. He didn't bite me but licked my neck instead. I was petrified. I heard my friend laughing and came out and put the leash on the thing. We didn't stay friends long after that but I heard within a few months they had to turn it in because they were having trouble controlling it. Definitely a story I'll never forget and the most horrified I've ever been.
I've had a few other close calls with Mr. Reaper though. Had a car collapse cinder blocks while working under it and it pinned my arm and chest under it. Came out with only some deep cuts. I had just moved my head out from under it to get another tool and it was a split second later if fell. That was close. And maybe a close 3rd was getting T-bone by a red light runner, flipped my truck twice and came to rest upside down. Thank god for seat belts. Came out with out a scratch. Just pissed because I had like 3 payments left on it. But I remember looking to my right as I turned and saw the car speeding through the intersection. It was as if my life flashed before me for a fraction and things slowed way down. It was really an odd feeling being in a car that was flipping over and over. I did have a gun pulled on me once, in Colorado Springs. A few friends, we were cruising down the road, just left a club and some mother F'er slammed into the back of the car, then pulled beside us and stuck his gun out the window and pointed at us. He never shot it though, and within seconds the idiots car was blowing steam from the radiator and they turned off. Cops found it the next day with drugs still in the car, it was reported stolen. That was definitely 1 freaky night.
Ok, what are yours?
