In this case, "it's the closest I get" refers to a hypothetical future. You can think of the full sentence as meaning: "This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope I will not be closer to facing death until a few more decades have passed."

I think this sentence describes the very dangerous situation in which the author felt his/her life was at risk, even can threat his/her life.
