I wonder if cryonicists (before signing up) are more likely than cryocrastinators to have experienced an "oh jeez I almost died" moment.

Anecdotal evidence: I'm signed up and someone once tried to rob me at gunpoint.

It would also be interesting to know how many close friends or relatives of cryonicists have died compared to cryocrastinators.

Anecdotal evidence: although sympathetic to the idea, I am not signed up, and have had two close brushes with death (that I know of).
