Sean Kingston isn’t the only celebrity who has cheated death. Kanye West cheated death in October 2002, when he was in a horrible car crash that left him almost unrecognizable.

In 2008, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker was flying in a Learjet 60 with his friend DJ AM when the plane crashed in Columbia, South Carolina.
