She killed herself and they’re going to f—— blame me.’ She explained to me that when she lifted my pants off the scale in the bathroom…the tiny revolver I used to carry…it fell out of the back jeans pocket and hit the floor and shot a bullet right between her legs,” as per Newsweek .

He was hit by shrapnel in his legs and bottom in 1967 and was wounded after being shot in the neck. “I moved up quickly on a one-man spider hole between our two platoons — from which I sensed someone had just fired,” the filmmaker who won a BAFTA stated. “On instinct, from 15 yards out, I pulled the pin on my grenade and hurled it. It was a crazy risk. If I’d overthrown the grenade, it probably would’ve wounded or killed some of our own men crouched beyond the hole.”
4. Trace Adkins
During a dispute in February 1994, Trace Adkins’s then-wife unintentionally shot him in the heart, almost killing him. Julie Curtis allegedly aimed a.38 pistol at Adkins during their argument over his drinking habits. She pulled the trigger when the country music artist attempted to stop her, leaving him with a bullet wound to his heart and lungs. “It wasn’t my time to go,” he candidly told People. “It was painful, but it didn’t sear my memory. The physical pain — broken bones and surgeries and bullets and getting beat up and cut — has never really bothered me. I have a high tolerance for it. It’s the broken hearts that left the deepest scars.”
5. Vanilla Ice
Vanilla Ice experienced multiple near-death incidents, some of which occurred early in his career. He disclosed in interviews that following a South Dallas event, he avoided trouble with another rapper. The 56-year-old Ice Ice Baby hitmaker recalled seeing the shooter barefoot and firing from the shoulder, although he would not say exactly when it happened.
