Every single one of them has had their close calls. We just see the most from Rick since he is the main character.

Heck I caught a bad cold last month.  And narrowly missed getting hit by a bad driver running a red light yesterday.  There aren't even zombies in my world and I've almost died several times.  Life is risky, unless you hide from it.  Rick can't hide.

 

ETA- Great list!  Very complete.

I'd reduce the list to specific instances where rick himself has been in deep peril.

101 - Surrounded by walkers under the tank & second away from shooting him self.

104 - Stand off with Vatos

104 - Walkers attack the camp. (*13 unamed survirors, Jim, ed and Amy die)

106 - CDC explosion. *(jacqui dies)

201 - Walkers on the highway. *(leads to sophias death)

208 - Dave & Tony.

209 - Stand off with Dave & Tony's group.

210 - 3 walkers on top of Rick.

212 - Shane & Rick standoff. *(Shane dies)

213 - Huge herd attacks the farm. *(Jimmy and Patrica die)

301 - Second time entering the prison 'riot gear walkers'

301 - In the tombs with walkers 'Herschel's leg' *(Hershal loses a leg)

302 - Tomas trying to kill Rick a couple of times.

304 - Walkers in the prison/ fight wit andrew *(Tdog and lori die)

308/09 - The whole woodbury batte *(oscar dies)

310 - The whole prison vs Governor battle. *(Axel dies)

312 - Morgan on the roof/ Morgan stabs rick

316 - Governor attacks the prison.

401 - Clara nearly stabs Rick.

402/05 - Walkers nearly break down the fence/ do break down fence

402-05 Illness (Patrick and twenty five (ish) survivors die)

408 - Too Far Gone battle. getting shot in the leg. Fight with the governor. *(Hershal and fifteen unamed survivors die, plus Lizzie and Mika at a later date)

411 - Joe's group are in Ricks house. Close to seeing him and would have killed him.

416 - Fight with Joe's group.

416 - Fight with Terminus.

501 - Lined up at the trough. *(sam dies)

501 - Battling his way out of Terminus.

502 - In the sewer surrounded by walkers. *(Bob dies)

 

Still alot however, I think the realism of these situations is that the group hasn't come out unscathed by my count during these situations where rick has been at risk 71 people have died and close to eighty have cycled through the 'group' during its existance. Andrea, Dale, Merle, Karen, David, otis, randell, big tiny, Zach, Donna, Allen and Ben all died as well through events and scenarios that rick had little to no contact with. I think the show is pretty realistic when you think about it that context, the odds of surving that many situations are pretty low which is why we have such a massive death toll. Even if we ignore the 53(ish) unamed 'group members who die the death toll still stands at 18 when rick has been around and another 12 (depending on what you count as a group member) who have died when he wasn't around. Thats 30 named charchters who have passed through the group. I find it pretty believable that someone is lucky enough to have survived all that and if happens to be rick so much the better.

I agree with you. Within a two month radius i was almost in several car accidents because people can't effing drive anymore. I say that because most of those people were running red lights, stop signs and cutting me off. I also was in the hospital for bronchitis and was all kinds of messed up.

They are now in a world with no doctors, the dead outnumber the living, food is hard to find just like medicine, and people are losing it and becoming more dangerous.

So it is a miracle Rick has survived, but it helps when he is the main character. Lol

He's like Kilgore in Apocalypse Now(just rewatched it).

 

"Well, he wasn't a bad officer, I

guess. He loved his boys, and you
felt safe with him. We was one of
those guys that had a weird light
around him. You just knew he wasn't
going to get so much as a scratch

here."

There would be no audience for a Smell-O-Vision© version of The Walking Dead.

Haha nice topic I just now saw thanks to Neoprene's fairly recent post.

 

For my 2cents worth (wait money means nothing, I'll put in one 9mm HP cartridge) :

 

I assert that Rick enjoys Contractual Immunity, and is under the watchful protection of the SAG.

He definitely has a horseshoe (probably from the horse that got eaten) up his arse.

Cut-scene: a day after eating a block of scavenged government-cheese, Rick had a life-or-death struggle with his own colon inside a dark bathroom.
