Imagine working on a home renovation project and accidently shooting yourself in the heart with a nail gun, or diving head first into a crashing wave only to realize a sand bar has left you paralyzed and floating helplessly a drift.
These are just a few of the shocking true stories profiled in The Day I Almost Died. Each nail-biting episode features three harrowing events that are told through emotional first-person accounts, eyewitness interviews and riveting reenactments.
From a student who sits too close to the edge of a boat and gets sucked underneath its propellers, to a farmer who absentmindedly reaches his hand inside the spinning gears of a corn picker, this series proves that accidents can happen anywhere, anytime and to anyone.
