Ok, I think I have a good one, back in December 1995 I was working for Fedex in Memphis when I had to solve a problem in Malaysia and had to fly last minute. Our cargo plane crashed in a storm over the Pacific and I was the lone survivor but I was stranded in a deserted island and had to survive on spear fishing and talking to a volleyball named Wilson. Four years later I made a raft and was found by a passing ship. Upon my return everyone was excited to see me, and I was so relieved to be back to civilization, although unfortunately my fiancée had married my dentist, so that was a bit of a solemn moment.
Is this more what you have been looking for? Or is it still that "the successful recovery/outcome actually detracts from what’s supposed to be the terrible experience"?
