Nine Lives
My Dad seems to have the knack of averting life-threatening accidents and incidents, so much so that I always joke he was probably a cat in a past life. He isn't accident prone or clumsy, but just very, very lucky. Here are a few of the ones I can recall:

-As a child he got stuck in quick sand, was rescued by his dad
-A firework exploded on his head but escaped any scarring or 3rd degree burns
-Got run over by a lorry whilst on a bicycle, not even a scratch
-Involved in a horrific car crash with a lamp post at high speed in icy weather, car was more than a write off, dad 'slightly shaken'

I actually think he may be a real life superhero...
