Poll: Ever Lost Conciousness?

[ottenni]

Yes once during a game of football (Australian rules). I smother someones kick with my face and got knocked out. And i had to go off because the runner thought i had concussion. It sucked.

 

[TheSkaAssassin]

by violence - got in a fight, the guy put me in a headlock. took me 28 seconds to pass out, the longest 28 seconds of my life.
by drugs/alcohol - I'm an alcoholic, it's what I do.
by a medical anesthesia - Had my wisdom teeth out in january.

 

[Stormz]

Almost did once. I overheat really fast and almost fainted in a gamestop once from it. I left and sat down and got better though.

 

[Kingshadow6]

Going too fast on my bike (I was ~11), hit a curb wrong causing me to fly over the handlebars into a tree. Good thing I was wearing my helmet. I was able to get up, stumble about 6 feet and pass out on a neighbors lawn. I woke up very well rested, TBH.

 

[minimacker]

Can't say I really HAVE - have, but once when I was sick on christmas eve (Hurray...) I think I passed out on my bed. My view was dizzy, I couldn't stand up and I fell poof on my bed, woke up a few minutes after.

It was scary as shiet since I was, what, twelve?

 

[Xeros]

I took a chair to the face once. That didn't end with me being awake.

It was kind of like this, except it was a desk... and I was the one holding it... and I was the one still standing at the end. Oh wait, me being knocked out? Ummm, they put me to sleep for an MRI in 2nd grade.

I've hit black-out drunk a couple times in my life.

 

[slarlath]

I'm a martial artist who does alot of tornaments so naturally i've taken a few blows to the head that have rendered unconcions.

 

[The Hairminator]

Once when I was like 8 I got up from bed after sleeping super fast, and started spinning around and kindoff hyperventilated (I have no idea why the hell I would do that). Everything went black and I dropped like a rock. Was only for a few seconds though.

I've never really blacked out because of alcohol. When I've had enough and the hour is late enough I just become really tired and lay down and then I sleep really heavily. Never seen the purpose of drinking till you drop

 

[Ontoue]

I can say I have once. The class bullies tricked me into holding my breath for as long as I could (It was 6th grade!), next thing I knew I was in the nurses office being told to spit that tooth into the sink.

Despite the awful headache I had when I a few moments after I woke up, it actually wasn't that bad, it was like when you wake up from a really good dream and just want to go back to sleep. That said it wasn't worth the pain afterwards, and I wouldn't do it again.

 

[Huddo]

Yeah, I was hit in the head with a hockey ball (it came off our goalie's pads and straight into my face).

I was only unconscious for a few minutes, though luckily nothing was broken.

 

[ZephrC]

Other than sleep, just once. I was riding my bike down a hill leading to a bridge with a fountain next to it. One instant I was coasting down the hill, the next instant I was halfway across the bridge when a gust of wind blew water from the fountain into my face while my bike was tilted about twenty degrees toward the street. I barely managed to keep the bike upright.

Fun times.

I read that as ``rendered unicorns`` and did a double-take.

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

Hmmm... Once to have teeth removed, aged about 9/10... thrice when i FUBAR'd my ankle (once due to pain as they were moving me to the ambulance, twice in hospital when they knocked me out to work out how the hell they were gonna fix my ankle)... once getting KO'd when a sailing dinghy that'd capsized righted itself unexpectedly on my head (came to inside the boat, with a 2" cut in the back of my head - fun times!!) and once waking up in a french hospital (I don't remember passing out, but apparently collapsed whilst trying to teach kids how to sail (oops), after being ill, and getting dangerously dehydrated. Apparently I'd been unconscious for nearly two days, and I came to about an hour before my parents arrived at the hospital.

Soooo... six times? Yeesh!

 

[DayDark]

if you lie down, and stand up really quick it can sometimes cause a faint.

 

[Davrel]

Three times from alcohol - not the kind of deep sleep that a very drunk person descends into, but the paralytic coma that a dangerously drunk person falls into...explains the radiator shaped 2nd degree burn on my upper arm.

 

[Enemy Of The State]

Fell down the stairs when I was about 9, I was out for about half an hour but I fell on my neck and did some temporary nerve damage or something. When I "woke up" I felt like I was ON FIRE, and my vision was blurry green...

 

[NBSRDan]

One time I was so tired I fell asleep. I was out for several hours. When I finally came to, I felt weak but rejuvenated. Luckily it only took about an hour to regain my mental capacities.

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

I have. It's doesn't really seem that bad to me. There is never any pain when I wake up. I've been knocked out by vehicular accidents and medical drugs a good many times. I despise medical drugs. I always wake up being so thirsty.

So have you? What's the story behind it?

My story.

Spoiler

I was on a snowmobile. Going down a huge mountain about at about 70 mph...Russians right behind me, helicopters shooting...I hit a huge gap, but was shot in midair. I then crawled to the escape helicopter.

Spoiler

Okay fine. I hit a big snowbank and fell of the snowmobile while it hit a tree. The snowmobile is obliterated into a thousand pieces, and I broke my shoulder. But it makes a good story.

I also passed out in Wal-Mart. Kinda lame, that.

ALMOST, i think i lost it for a few seconds, it was at the dentists. This is a horrific story so if you dont like dentists dont read it. Basically i had 4 adult teeth pulled, the first 3 went fine but the last one for some reason refused to be affected by the anasthetic. We treid 4 needles and 3 different types but i could still partially feel the tooth. In the end i made him pull it anyway, i might remind you that at this time i had 3 gaping holes in my jaw and blood was pouring out. I think i passed out in the car cus i dont remember little bits of the journy home, my parents drove me. Throwing up your own blood is also a bad expierence which i enjoyed when i managed to reach the bathroom. HURAH.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

I faint all the time, because I'm so clumsy and have a laughably low pain threshold.

I once knocked myself out on a wall, not by banging my head against it, oh no, that would be reasonable. I hit my hand and fainted. Woke up with a huge friction burn on my arm, so I assume I had some sort of mini fit as well.

The scariest time was when I had a mini asthma attack attempting the bleep test. I couldn't breathe, and last thing I remember was my PE teacher asking 'how many of you think you could have done some more?' The sad thing about that is that I didn't even make it to 5 on the test.
Lame.
