As the fate of Outlander‘s Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) remains uncertain heading into the series finale, we can’t help but recall all of the close calls the Highlander has had over the years.
Since the series premiere in 2014, Jamie has had his fair share of near-death experiences, whether it was in combat or from an animal encounter, among countless others. Despite the ups and downs he’s faced with wife Claire (Caitriona Balfe) often at his side, the idea of Jamie coming out of his near-death encounters unscathed has certainly lulled viewers into a potentially false sense of security.
Will his number finally be up by the time Outlander‘s closing credits roll after Frank (Tobias Menzies) suggested that Jamie dies in a looming battle at Kings Mountain in his posthumous book, Soul of a Rebel? Below, we’re rounding up eleven times that Jamie Fraser almost died in Outlander. Stay tuned for any developments following the series finale, and let us know which close call scared you the most over the years in the comments section below.
(*Note: Jamie’s whipping from Season 1 has been excluded because it was a flashback sequence.)
