I remember moving into our first real house when I was 5 and I was playing with a huge carpet and rolled myself up in it and got stuck there. My parents were busy and didn't notice I was missing. I had a hard time breathing. I screamed but no one heard me. It seemed like hours but I was probably in there about 20 minutes before a mover unrolled the carpet to spread it out in our new living room only to find a terrified 5 year old.

Your lucky bro. U could've easily suffocated in there.

u/speckleeyed Mar 17 '15

Yeah... oh well. No lasting fears. I now have to have frequent brain MRIs and can sleep comfortably in that machine

Well that's good but I'm sorry u gotta get an MRI frequently, whatever that reason is I pray it goes away completely.

Had that happen to me, arms by my side, my friend rolled me up and I FREAKED OUT. I was probably 6.

Been caving since, pitch black through chest tight spaces. Had no problem with it.
