A few years ago me and some mates were down in the bush near my house, we had some big bungers that we were letting off, I lit a big one in my hand and the wick burnt ultra-fast and the bunger went off, looked down expecting to see a few fingers missing but my hand was only a bit numb for a while lol, seemed like ages looking down at my fingers too see if they were all good haha.
Had a few close calls when driving, was doing fishies up a road at 2am in the morning, was doing like 70-ish km/h and flicked it out one more time the car went backwards for ages, and out of the corner of my eye I could see the gutter coming, I was a fair way off the gutter when fishtailing but then it just got close real fast lol, I pumped the brakes a few times to try and wash off speed and ripped the handbrake up, it worked a bit and slowed me down, I ended up going up someone's driveway backwards, towards their front fence, into their empty garbage bins and into a small tree, not one bit of damage to the car, I thought I was going to end up in their front yard for sure lol, funny thing is when it happened a couple of years ago I didn't know the people whose house it was, now I'm mates with them haha.
I learnt my lesson on that one, no matte how wide you think the street is, never do anything near gutters etc.
Had a few other close ones driving a truck, looked to the right into my side mirror to check there were no cars there so switch lanes across to the left, then look back in front and 2 cars a stopped waiting to turn right across oncoming traffic at this median strip thing, it was only like a split-second but felt like ages lol, just swung the truck over to the left, doing like 80km/h mind you, and hoped to hell there was nothing in the lane I swerved into, had happened twice at the same turn, let's just say I do about 60 upto that turn now, and I'm usually one more lane over than what I need to be lol. Would have been messy if I hit the car(s), 12 tonne of truck into a stationary object weighing only a tonne, fucking scary when you think about it that way. 
I remember a good one when I was really young, like 6 years old, and I was getting off a train with my old man and sister, I was holding onto my old man's briefcase when exiting the doors, and then suddenly they closed and the train started moving off from the station and I'm stuck in the doors lol, my dad just yanked the crap out of his briefcase and it pulled me out of the doors, I remember my arm was sore, pretty luck I suppose, my old man went mental at the train guard as the guard's carriage went past, first time I ever saw him get angry like that, was kind of funny though at the time, I suppose being so young didn't really appreciate how serious it was lol.
One more I remember up at The Entrance on the Central Coast, and was in the water about 100m off the wall near the car-park, like in the shallow part of the channel for anyone that remembers what that area used to be like 10+ years ago, me and my old's and my sister were in the water, lik less than waste deep, and the water was real clear, and about 1m from my leg a blue-ringed octopus floats past, again I didn't really realise the seriousness of the situation being pretty young, went past me and then went past my sister, she shit herself and started screaming because she was a few years younger than me, my old man picked both of us up and carried us onto the beach with my old lady not too far behind lol, my old man confirmed it was a blue-ringed octopus, pretty damn lucky when I think back now, have a read of what one of the little fuckers can do to you, scary shit indeed.
