Motorcycles
When I was a child I had a habit of getting almost killed by motorbikes.
1) I was a toddler and I pulled a parked one over on top of me at a french holiday camp. It landed on top of me but I was absolutely fine as I fitted perfectly in the gap between handlebars and fuel tank.
2) I was playing "pooh sticks" on a bridge and failed to notice that a motorcycle was coming down the hill. I ran across the bridge to see my stick come out the other side and the bike just managed to not hit me.
3) I cycled into a motorbike when young. Mainly because I was looking at it and when you're wee you go where your head points!
This all came together in later life when I managed to crash my motorbike when working in Thailand. Whoops. That was a little sore.
