“Approaching an intersection late at night on my motorcycle. Didn’t see the massive patch of sand that had somehow been spread out across the road. Went to brake, rear wheel locked and I slid into the intersection. Came to a stop in the middle of the first lane.
Saw something big and white out of the corner of my vision. Was a truck. Gassed it just a bit to get out of the way, and the bike was clipped a couple inches behind my body, hard enough for the muffler to be pushed up against the chain. Flew completely over two lanes of traffic and landed on my hands and feet in the middle of the intersection with cars travelling in opposite directions on either side of me. Stood up. No sliding, not a scratch on me. Helmet never touched the ground.”

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.
