Right to the point: I have gone into shock twice in my life now. When I was in grade 7 we had field trips to the ice rink for a skating week in P.E.. It was fun, I like skating because I like hockey (eh?) but one kid was losing his balance and naturally you tend to swing your arms and grab onto something to steady yourself. Well that something happened to be me. I was grabbed by the arm and since the kid weighed more I was pulled forcefully to the ground. I landed on my wrist and it was broken. About five minutes later I was sitting at a table with my friends. I decided to walk and tell the teacher that I felt sick and told her what happened. However walking over there was strange...
I was losing my balance and my vision was getting dark and blurry like someone rubbed Vaseline in my eyes. I was aware of this and snapped right out of it. The kid who pulled me down on the ice felt extremely guilty about breaking my wrist.
Another incident happened today! I signed up for the local gym just recently and I've never pushed myself so hard in all my life. Lets just say this: I burnt over 100 calories in less than 6 minutes. The next 20 minutes were pure torture. I was sweating like a fountain, my temperature went WAY up and I felt sick to my stomach. The blackness was extreme that I felt like I was blind even with my eyes wide open. It was very hard to hear anything around me because it was drowned out with intense ringing. I was so dizzy I could hardly walk. I was disoriented and couldn't figure out where I was going when walking that I needed to be directed to someplace I knew existed somewhere nearby... The bathroom. Yep. I got to see the food I already ate earlier again! Suddenly, I felt much much better. Lesson learned.
Don't push yourself ten times over your limit. It's not fun.
Going into shock today by overworking was actually worse than going into shock by breaking a bone. Funny thing is I'm not sore anywhere after all that mayhem.
I suppose I should slow down a bit. When I want something, I usually want it fast. Getting into shape takes time. (I'm not overweight by the way, I 'm just using the bike to feel physically fit.)
tl;dr
Anyone else go into shock?

Well, I went into shock when I had a terrible accident at a toboggan run and broke my right subtalar joint (ankle). The shock was so immense that I cannot even remeber the process of crashing and me getting flown away by a helicopter and the next thing I know is that I lay in a hospital, after surgery. At that time I wasn't even aware of what had happened at all.
However, collapsing happened to me a few times while sports as well. The problem was that I had eaten not much beforehand meaning that my glucose level was on a down in a pretty short amount of time.
We were on a 100 meter sprint (not sure about the right English expression) and I was running 13.1 seconds and this already saved the highest grade. I wanted to run under 13 seconds, however, and gave it another try. Running 12.8, I overworked myself and felt weak. I needed a long amount of time to recreate and sat in the grass. Suddenly all the colors turnned very bright and I needed to lay down. My teacher asked me what happens and realized my circular system was about to collapse. So he gave me some water but the next thing I have done after drinking was to throw up. He then gave me several pieces of glucose and after some minutes I felt okay again. Still weak, unable to continue with sports, but all right.
Yeah, collapsing isn't exactly the nicest thing to witness. Make sure you have eaten enough before excessive exercising.

I might have gone into shock when I nearly chopped off my finger a couple years ago. My room has a ceiling fan and I raised my hand (while the fan was on of course). What. An. Idiot. I had a deep cut and it was bleeding heavily. I didn't go to the emergency room, and I guess I drink enough milk such that it didn't cut all the way through. I got stitches, and I still have evidence of a scar. I was feeling chills (probably due to shock) and I think I had trouble sleeping. Coincidentally enough, this happened on my first day ever using Lunar Magic.

I very nearly blacked out once when getting blood samples taken. They kept on missing the vein and were stabbing me repeatedly.
I hate needles.

The closest I've ever come to going into shock was when I was on top of my old house's roof (which would have been a pretty awful time to do so). I have a pretty wicked fear of heights, so actually getting up there and then looking over the edge was one of the dumbest things I could have done at the time.

I remember once falling from the top of the escalators in a mall when I was very young. I don't remember how exactly I felt during the incident, but I know I had severe pain in my head for days after it happened. That was an awful experience.

Already like seven or eight years ago when I was on someone's birthday in zoo I fell in the turtle pond. Somewhere in the zoo there's a small wooden bridge under which there is about knee deep water with turtles in it and when I was leaning to far over the railing I fell in.
I don't really know whether this exactly counts as a shock, but I don't remember anything afterwards up until when I was driving home with my mom (I don't remember the incident itself either, but I have been told what happened).

My shock is that, my sister, when she was 3 years old, she stuck a knife in a electrical thing. She made me touch it, I did and I almost died by entering into shock. But that's not only that. I did hurt myself in a child waterslide (when I was going on 64 times). The only issue is that in one of the times I was on belly in the water slide, and I was bleeding on my leg. That was almost painful. Back on school, when I was in 4th grade, I almost broke my leg when I felt in the stairs on the way up, and I could feel the pain I had on my foot.

I don't think I have ever gone into shock, I find the whole idea of it kind of interesting though.
Actually, when i was like 2, i tripped and fell and bit through the lip and lost a crap ton of blood. But since I don't really remember it at all, I cant be sure that I entered shock.

I remember being at Canada's wonderland and i was on a roller coaster that had a loop. When we were going up the lift hill for the drop i noticed that my safety harness wasn't locked and wouldn't stay down. I held on to dear life the whole ride

Skateboarding, did a frontside disaster on a vert wall, I felt the back truck lock up on the coping about 8 feet up, that moment of shock caused me to face first it to the flat of the ramp.
Scariest moment of my life.

I probably went into shock when I was visiting one of my mom's friends some years back. I was sitting on a stool in front of a computer, playing Mario Teaches Typing, accidentally fell off the back of the stool, fell flat on my back on a hard wood floor, and blacked out for all of a few minutes. It's similar to the first experience listed in that respect.
Also, I had the same sort of overworking barf during a karate lesson. I was hungry beforehand, and ate ten chicken nuggets prior to entering the building, and ended up rushing to the bathroom near the end of the lesson.

Well, once when I was really young, I had these bunk beds and I would always sleep on the top bunk. we also had this ladder thing I used to get up to the top. I had this stupid idea that I should lay down the ladder on the bed so that it made a ramp up from the floor. I was up on the top bunk, and I lost my balance and fell. Face first. Straight onto the ladder. I busted open one of my eyebrows and had to have the wound glued shut. I don't remember anything past the point of me falling off.
When I was way older, I used to jump off the swings for fun, And one day I tried to perform a trick jumping off of one, and it ended up with me falling hands first into the ground. I fractured my left hand that time. I have a few fuzzy memories of my parents driving me to the hospital, but it wasn't that bad that I needed to go to the ER.

Like i said, i held it down with all the force i could
Also, this just happend a couple of days ago, I was in cooking class and i was cutting celery and a kid told me a "better" way of cutting them. I tried it and the knife (It was pretty big) landed on my thumb. Good thing it only hit the nail but damn that froze me still.

When I was very young, used to climb on the desk that had the TV on it anf one day I slipped off and I ended up with the TV on top of me. And dit was very heavy!
Another thing I can remember. It again happend when I was young. I climed up a chair and then jumped onto a cupborad to get something. But because I wasn't paying attention, a mirror fell and broke on me. Yes, it was super bad.
And in these two times I nearly paniced.

I've never gone into shock, but I often black out. I have low blood sugar, and I tend to be absorbed in what I'm doing. I often forget to eat or hydrate myself, and I suffer temporary blackouts.

This MIGHT count as shock, but I'm not 100% sure.
When I was very young, my whole family went on a trip to Missigan because my mom had some buisness thing to attend to.
At the hotel, we were in the hot tub
(Yeah that hotel had one of those)
When I got out,
Turned around,
and did what any young idiot would've done...
I Jumped in.
I felt fine at first, but then my leg felt funny.
I pulled it out, and BAM. My entire shin was chipped off.
I was INCREDIBLY lucky that it didn't hit the bone,
but I had to go to the hospitital and get it stiched together.
I acually don't remeber the ride there, but I definitley remember everything else.

Well, first I can remember I was running the mile in school, I was attempting to get the 9th grade record for my school, so I sprinted the first few laps, then fast jogged the last one. Then when I was done I had muffled hearing and trouble seeing, I remember because my teacher gave me detention because I "wasn't listening to her"
Also a few times during math class(which is right after gym for me), but I don't know why that was, possibly because I naturally have really low blood pressure, and exercising raised it, then siting there made it lower fast or something.
And I don't personally remember this for sure, but when I was 2 or 3 I was in a car accident, I remember the accident, and I remember afterwords, but when the paramedics were asking me questions, I wasn't answering, but I was conscious, so they presumed I was in shock.

One time I could actually (willingly) rush the blood to my head to make my face change purple. I was only 6 so I wasn't aware of how serious this was.
Anyway, at school in grade 4 I wanted to entertain a friend at recess by doing this said blood rush thing.. Well something happened in the middle of this (i think I popped a blood vessel) and I started spinning in place slowly and talking to myself, unaware of what I was saying, and my vision got darker and blurry, and then I remember waking up from pitch black on the ground with a headache. And apparently everyone went in the school after the bell while I lay half dead on the ground.
It was scary as all .
