She stopped the car and ran back to me and hugged me whilst crying uncontrollably. Turns out the door had a faulty latch so when we turned the corner, I was asleep and leaned against the door, door swung open and I fell out. This was long before compulsory seatbelts in the back seat of cars. My mother's old car didn't even have them. They had them installed by the next day (my grandfather was a mechanic.

Genetic tests were performed on Tsutomo Yamaguchi's family (more specifically his first cousins) to see if there was some sort of genetic reason he had survived the blast. What was found is that his ancestry contained a large number of people who had survived wars and natural disasters around the world where many had perished. What's even more bizarre is that there didn't seem to be any real difference between his family's genetic make-up and anyone-else's, almost like the entire family just had an unpresidented amount of luck for seemingly no reason, however they also had an abnormally high amount of getting into danger in the first place. There was just one thing that was exclisively rare to find in their DNA though, but it wasn't something that should have made a difference in any of his family's adventures, that being an abnormally high tolerance to toxicity, something that was never a threat in any of the situations his family had been subjected to making it rather pointless. In fact this trait was considered by most members of his family stretching back many generations to be a hindrance as it made getting drunk rather expensive.

My classmate was r*ped , stabbed 4 times and thrown into a lake at the age of 9. She survived to name her would be killer... a local pastor. We became my best friends as adults. She died in May 2020 from covid. She was 34. My brother is also very lucky.. he was out riding 4 wheelers with neighbors. He was far behind a pregnant woman and her 4 year old son also riding. We lived down a straight road off in the country. Anyway there was a car coming so the pregnant woman stopped on the side of the road to let the car pass. My brother was going about 40 mph and never noticed she stopped. He applied the brakes but they wouldn't work. His choices were to hit the pregnant woman and her little kid or swerve in front of the car. What he did was hit the gas and hope aim for a neighbor's yard on the opposite side of the road.. he did this to miss the car. The car was actually stopping to talk to the woman.. anyway in his 15 year old brain it made sense. So going about 55 he went right into a barbed wire fence. The barbs split his temple down in front of his right ear pulling it out and away. His ear was literally touching the top of his head. At first he didn't realize how bad it was. He was apologizing to the bitchy old woman who was screaming at him for tearing up her yard and fence. He ended up with 214 stitches and a bruised ego. The emergency doctors told my mom that if he'd been wearing a helmet... it would have broke his neck. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It would make a grand squat. For some reason my head had developed a pulsing ache. I decided I needed a cigarette. I was just about the strike the match when a thought went through my mind: "What's that hissing noise?" A gas stove on the next floor had been left, unlit, with all the taps full on. The house was full of gas! Whilst exploring a cave I slipped down a steep slope. When I hit the bottom my body shot forward and I banged my head, hatd, against a flat rock surface. All around where my head had hit there were sharp, spiky protrusions. I was cycling, at night, along the middle of a main road, moving fast, The road surface was in perfect condition.There was very little traffic ... most of which was huge, fast moving lorries. I hit something ...got thrown onto the handlebars but just managed to stay upright .My ribs got nicely bruised. When I investigated what I'd hit I found a neat four inch square hole ... the cover of which was missing. Now ... if I'd been knocked unconcious the next lorry would probably have reduced me to pulp.

I knew that the next day i would forget that i was working on the engine and try to drive the car (i have a bad memory) so i quickly disconnected the fuel pump and went inside the house. The next day, as i had anticipated, i got in the car and tried to drive it, it actually did start due to fuel still being in the carburetor reservoir (which i forgot to anticipate). Then after a few seconds the engine burst on fire! What had actually happened is my dad had noticed the disconnected fuel pump, and reconnected it, but only reconnected the line from the fuel tank, the line to the engine he did not notice was also disconnected. So when i started the car, the fuel pump sprayed petrol all over the engine which then ignited.
