“Was attempting a PR on bench press without a spot. Lifted the bar and my hand slipped, but I kind of felt it coming so I was able to duck my head away from the bar which would have obliterated my eye. Never again. Always use a spot if you’re doing heavy weights!”

Also saw a dude flying down the road towards a red light he clearly didn’t see. When my light turned green I waited, even though I was being honked at, and the guy flew through the red. Would have obliterated me.
Also avoided being attacked in the bushes outside my apt by awkwardly pointing to the security cameras. Same guy was arrested for attacking a woman across the street the very next day.
And... avoided being attacked by another psycho because my dog (a mini bull terrier) jumped on him and bit him in the chest. She was an incredibly friendly dog, but he jumped out at us and she just reacted. Dude went straight to the nearby liquor store, chased a woman around her car with a knife, and slashed her tire before being arrested. Good times.
