This is a question Narrow Escapes

IHateSprouts tells us they once avoided getting caught up in an IRA bomb attack by missing a train. Tell us how you've dodged the Grim Reaper, or simply avoided a bit of trouble.

thinking back over this, there's been a few...
At Uni...
Knocked down by a car twice. (both hit and runs)
Mugged 3 times, last time ending up in a bad way in hospital for a while due to knife wounds.
Caught in the middle of a small riot while trying to drive through a street.
Also narrowly missed one of the first morning trains into Manchester city centre (from Bolton) on 15th June 1996, and by the time the next one had come around, the IRA had decided to bomb the shit out of the city centre. I decided not to get the next train, but ended up staying in Bolton looking after a few people who had traveled back after the event covered in cuts and bruises.
Have also injured myself a few times, or come very close to seriously injuring myself due to cluster headache attacks. I've had a couple of attacks come on instantly while driving at reasonable speed, which wasn't fun.
I'm still here, just about.

If cluster headaches are what I think they are
Then the very best of luck to you.

Did any of the muggers or be-car red bastards ever get caught?
