25 years on I still can see that cloud formation in my mind and figured I had looked at death. Sorry to appear to exaggerate but it really did scare me.

Yours is a useful anecdote. Those of us who are building experience can watch where your footsteps led to give us an inkling as to what sort of decision to make in the future, should we find ourselves in a similar predicament.
All the best in the coming New Year
