“I was in my teens, riding as a passenger in my grandmother’s car. I heard a little high pitched scraping noise on the car roof briefly. Looked out behind us and there’s a tree about a meter and a half wide down on the road behind us. The scrape was the tips of the outer branches making contact before the trunk didn’t quite kill us.”

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.
