Anyone else have any moments in their life where they were genuinely afraid for their life?

Fear in real life
So for spring break this year I went down to visit a friend of mine in Miami, was a fun trip except for a few moments, except for a few moments. One of which was getting lost in a particularly bad area of downtown Miami, the kind of area where there are bullet holes in the building walls, we found our way out just fine, but while we were down there I was genuinely afraid something very bad would happen.

I'm from Birmingham so all I have to say is: downtown Birmingham after dark.
The end.
I am from Atlanta. College Park specifically. So, anywhere downtown Atlanta or College Park or East Point at night.
And then there was this one time I picked up this drifter from an Alabama game last year. He was a friend of a friend's friend. But as we talked and I drove, I got more and more creeped out... Its not an experience I would recommend.
Only once, and I don't know if it counts because I was dreaming. But I had spontaneously combusted... weird I know. And apparently the doctors told me it could happen again at any time, and I remember in the dream I was more afraid that I've ever been in real life.
I got stuck on a chairlift at the top of Copper Mountain in Breckinridge, CO during an intense snow storm. When the chair I was in, which had no safety bar, started blowing back parallel to the ground, I began to fear for my life because I was staring 50 feet down at the mountain watching trash cans blowing down the slope. Intensist moment in my life for sure.
One time I was almost in a really bad car wreck--I was driving on I-20 through Vicksburg, MS, and I went over a hill and all of a sudden traffic was stopped. I hadn't been able to see it and I'd been going like 60 and I slammed on my brakes and the car behind me did the same and swerved around me onto the shoulder... it was absolutely terrifying. Now I always drive extra slow through Vicksburg.
