London, Oct 23 A new survey has revealed that almost one third of average Brits have had five near-death experiences during their life.

The poll revealed that forty percent have claimed to see their life flash before their eyes during a car crash.

A third claimed to have survived a high-voltage electric shock and almost as many have lived through a serious natural disaster.

"Life is precious and many Brits seem to have had a heck of a lot of lucky escapes," Daily Express quoted Pete Markey, of More Than Life Insurance, which commissioned the survey, as saying. (ANI)
