Close.
There is no need for the perfective aspect <-pu'>. It really doesn't fit
here.
I don't think the indefinite subject (-lu'> fits here. The *something* which
does not kill you is too important to be left out. Fortunately, we have the
word <vay'>, which is exactly what you want for your subject.
You should probably add a <-chugh> for this to flow naturally.
