Have you ever fainted?

Don't want to do it when you're flying. Felt weird in a Grumman AA-5 inbound to Biggin Hill. The pure fright and the subsequent natural adrenaline "fight-flight" shot hit me like a large cod slapped in my face.
Really scary.
No autopilot eitherIf you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

Have fainted many times.
One of the first was during drama class at school during a performance - the teacher thought it was part of the act..Comment

A few times. Actually quite a pleasant feeling. Until you come round and your head hurts.
Sudden pain seems to knock me out. Most recently was having hit my funny bone on a door handle. Time before was when I cricked my neck reversing the car.Comment

Only once when I had one of those very nasty 24-hour bugs at school. Was feeling almost fine one minute, then suddenly I was lying on my back under the person behind's desk with sick in my hair (must have described a nice arc as I fell) and everyone screamingOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Only once for me, after giving blood for the first time.
I couldn't wait for the nice cup of tea and biscuit and swanned straight over to get them. A minute or so later I'd gone.Comment

When I was about 13 there was a fad in our school.
Ten quick squats, then someone put their arms under yours and around the chest, then spin you arouns a dozen times or so, so all the blood would rush from the head.
Then they would stand you on your feet and give you a gentle push.
It was a sure fire way to give someone a fainting spell
