I have quite a few of these sorts of near misses
Walking along a country lane, car comes out of nowhere & hits the tree right where I was standing a second earlier. Devine intervention got me out of that one alright.
I was having fun & had ridden too far out on a jet ski in the West Indies, when suddenly something huge & dark with a shark fin suddenly appeared from nowhere started to rise up under/next to me, tipping the jet ski - I somehow managed to keep it together enough to power up & get the hell out of there, but I was so shaken that I didn't stop when I hit the beach, thankfully no real damage done to me or Jet Ski. For years I had no clue what that creature was, but it scared the life out of me. I found out later after seeing a picture online, that it was a whale shark - bar the size, perfectly harmless & I now wish I had hung around.
I was passenger in a car that had a blow out coming into a roundabout at 60+ mph, the car left the road ploughing into small trees that covered the large round about. It was all in slow motion trees bending away & even though it was (thankfully) early hours of the morning, the lane of traffic coming in at the other side was busy & fast moving. We headed towards it & I remember realising that we would hit it, the driver wasn't wearing a seat belt & wouldn't stand a chance. In those split seconds I braced myself to pin them in place as a human seat belt - somehow those last few saplings brought the car to a halt, just as it left the other side of the roundabout/hillock & we both walked away without a scratch
Very first package holiday allowed to Cuba - holiday from hell in so many ways, but a great experience too, thanks to the people we met. On returning home, once we had got past the 48 hour delay dumped at an airport with no services, all of the passengers had gone through to board the plane & they held me back, forcing my friend at gun point to go through & get on the plane without me. They were querying my visa, insisting I had arrived 6 months ago, when I had been there only 2 weeks, getting very shouty & waving guns around in my face. They had got annoyed with my friend when he had tried to back me up & forced him through, I told him yo go as I was scared for him. Half ranting at me in Spanish, half broken English,neither of which I fully understood, they forced me through to the side of the plane & made me climb up a ramp & get my luggage out of the hold of the plane. All the time point a gun at me & at one point lifting my skirt up with it, whilst a gang if young guys stood underneath laughing. It was terrifying, I knew they were keeping me in Cuba, alone, but didn't understand fully as to why & Though I don't scare easily the blatant sexual harassment by a gang of about 15 young guys gave the whole thing an even more sinister edge, I don't actually know how I managed to keep it together as they ignored everything I said, no matter what language I tried to use & just laughed or waved a gun at me. I was then marched across the tarmac into a room with 2 very official looking guards & several Cuban police. Still nobody was explaining to me & still I was trying to get across I was on holiday for only 2 weeks, falling apart more & more by the second - All of a sudden one of the Police picked up my bags, smiled & said to follow him & lead me back onto the plane where there was a huge cheer. He put my luggage back in the hold, bowed & waved & walked off - that was it, they let me go
. Turned out my friend had told the other passengers what had happened & every other passenger refused to sit down on the plane until the let me go home with them 
I have more I might add later
