Accidents happen all the time, and often we walk away miraculously uninjured. What has been your closest call with avoiding serious harm in an accident?

It was the summer of 1999... my friend drove her new Moped and me I was on my new, shiny Mountain-bike (being the Eco I am). And we were driving/cycling on a mix between a Lane and a Driveway, I don't know the proper english term right now. So there we were, having had spent the day with 2 dozen of the sweetest chilrden in that City-District of the age between 3 to 6, so we were still in high spirits.
Suddenly an ugly, dirty VW Golf (Mk 2 I think) with loud music coming from it drove toward us, as fast asd this cheap car can... but for us it was fast enough, he was almost half on our side of the white line when my friend got scared and pulled her moped to the right and literally flying over her handlebar, I being directly behind her lost my control and flew on top of her.
*LOLZ*
The best part however was, that I had only one small bruise on my lower arm and one just abover my left knee, yet she was full of huge bruises and scratches... and damn, she was so soft to land on!!! XD


But seriously... I had no helmet on like she did, so this could have become really nasty! And I'm fucking glad, that I was so lucky to... land on her chubby body!


'kay I'm out now doing some serious stuff! Might edit the entry later, for I bet there are lots of errors in there!
