Falling while climbing a cliff face and grabbing a fortunately well rooted bush? Yep!

Coming off my dirt bike at 15 and waking an hour or so later, seeing my left motocross boot ripped nearly in half, despite no damage to my foot, or rest of body (apart from concussion) Yep!

On my bicycle waiting at a stop light for the light to turn green and being rammed by a car behind me deciding not to turn right from the right turn lane, trashing my bike yet... I didn't even fall off it. Yep!

And several incidents in the other 3 decades, so far...

So, not every occasion, but I recall a few where I could have ceased.

I’d say the closest I’ve been is when I made the decision of trying to swim in a river. (for context, I’m a fairly weak swimmer, only really do it in pools) One moment I was kinda treading water and the next thing I know, a current is pulling me under and I’m swallowing way more river water than I would like to. I would have probably kicked the bucket that day if the group of teenage boys near me and my friend hadn’t noticed me going under.
