Crossing eight lanes of high speed freeway traffic on foot at night to render care to an injured driver, entirely in dark clothing. Not really a close call, per se, except that if I had erred in judging speeds, I would most certainly be deceased with no real hope of survival. I now carry a reflective jacket in my car's emergency equipment.
Performing the duties of a gate guard, I've had to suck asphalt diving out of the way a few times.
Almost got my hand caught in a truck lift gate once. I wasn't the operator.
No car accident that I've been in posed me a threat of serious bodily injury. I've never been in a car during an air bag deployment.
I won't focus on _deliberate_ acts because they fall outside the scope of the call.
