This is a question Question of the Week suggestions

Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:

* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer

What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

What interesting or unusual things have come close to ending your life?

I was almost killed by the Queen.
As a child I lived within a decent cycling distance of Windsor Great Park and during the summer holidays myself and friends would often ride up there and play in the woods, splash about in the waterfall or whatever.
One day, about 25 years ago, while on a daily adventure we came upon the edge of the Guard's Polo Ground at Smiths Lawn.
There was a large linear crowd up ahead so we dropped our bikes and run up to them to see what was going on. I pushed through the throng only to find the crowd not as deep as I first thought and I stumbled out onto a road just in time to feel the wing mirror of a car whizz past my chest.
Nearest me in the passenger seat was Prince Charles, obviously having just played a match, driving however was his mother.
