Ever Feel Like You've Been Spared..?

[Pavlo]

I think all this is just pure luck/coinsedence, just like sivic02 said. Maybe thats because I think of god as a spirit and disagree with bible.

Anyways here is my story:
I was riding my bikcycle around (i do it like its my last day living) and going as fast as I could through an s turn i hit a pole with side of my steering wheel/bar, i flipped over the bike, flew about 6 yards through the air fell down on my arm and snapped it in half. Now I live with titanium rods in both of my bones in the left arm and have 3 2in scars on my arm. That was pretty lucky because i did not smack my head and died.
Oh and bycicle steering wheel did 2 complete turns, all the wires (brakes, gear shift) were broken at some point, the left pedal was extremely bent too.

To avoid all these accidents you could just drive normal and be very carefull, which i now learned.

I'm sure I could think of several but one sticks in my mind in particular. I was riding quads in the sand with two of brotherrs, and their friends including their friends son who had a 250cc dirt bike.

My oldest brother was in front of me next to a hill that sloped downward from us. My brother called me over to him to talked to him, and I only moved my quad a few feet to get next to him.

Not even 10 seconds after I glimpsed the other kid on his 250cc in the air heading right for me( he had just jumped up the hill heading toward us.) I attempted to get off, but by the time he landed I didn't even have a foot off the quad. His rear tire had grazed my left rear tire, and left a tire mark. If I wouldn't have been called by my brother I would have been hit in the face by his front tire, and undoubtedly been severely hurt. That really made me think.

I had also had a run in with a drunk driver in a 80's suburban who was on our lane going around a corner on a 4 lane road doing atleast 80mph, and we were doing 50ish. My brother luckily had a cool head, and steered to the right, and the suburban flew right by us. I was speechless for the the rest of the night thinking about what had happened.

MY eyes got wide, I could tell it was about to happen, then at that moment, my friend (one of the other students) was just told that he did a problem all wrong... he slammed his fist down on the big metal desk and yelled, "DAMMIT!!"...
that was the exact moment I let one rip. Nobody heard it because of Paul. I think God was watching out for me right then, it was a monster fart. I got lucky, plain and simple. I was spared.

AHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAH LMFAO RICK, YOU MADE MY DAY LOL!

awesome experience.....i've had many like that myself. ahahahahaha......

OK, we were snowmobiling in Colorado, near Beaver Creek Ski Resort (near Vail and Avon). We were taking a 200 mile tour through the rockies, included a night stay, dinner, lunch, the whole shebang. OK, so we were on a straight area on the trail, and we were the last in the convoy of 9 other snomobiles including the guides. everyone was doing 60 mph comfortable, and this was a 8 ft wide trail if not bigger or smaller. to our right was a wall or snow slanting to the top of a steep hill, and to our left was a steep decent of untouched snow and humungo pine trees. there was a curve coming up but my mom and sister who were ahead of us didnt see it because of the snow drafts coming from the back of the snowmobiles. SO instead of taking the relatively sharp curve, my mom keeps going straight but lets go of the gas too late, doesnt slow down enough to make the turn, and goes into deep untouched snow off the trail that was on a slowly slanted down grade of the hill that got steeper as it went down. And my dad, who was driving happened to follow my mom, so we went into the snow too. 10 feet more and we wouldve been part of the pine trees i was talking about. So that was a close one. WE waited 30 min before the instructor did the routine check to make sure everyone was together, so he came back, and we had to wad through deep snow to make a small trail that led back to the regular trail. made me so tired. we were waist high in snow.

about a year ago i was driving to work, it was my first day back from my vacation. about half way to work there was a dog in the road. me being stupid i thought i could get by the dog without hitting it b/c the dog was in the dead center of the road on the yellow lines. so as i past the dog my front right tire drops off on to the shoulder. i lose control and hit a tree doing about 55mph. i get out of my car without a scratch on me thank god.

My right leg was only draped over the seat. It happened so quickly there wasn't near enough time to get off. A falling bike comes at you pretty quickly.
