Luckily all he got were minor scrapes and whatnot.

That's the thing about suddenly falls or whatever. That 'moment' when you're kind of afraid to move cause you don't know the extent of any damage you might have sustained. Like one time I slipped on a piece of ice (at at time I thought we were completely done with snow and ice) and I was completely airborne before landing with a thud. Like it felt in slow motion and I could only 'brace for impact'. After I landed, I laid there for a moment because I was afraid that once I tried to get up, I'd find out that I broke this or that. Luckily all I had was light bruising.
That’s crazy.

I had a good one recently. I randomly told my wife last year “I hope I die on my birthday or New Year’s Eve/Day, not some random day” just goofing off.

Sure enough, January 1st this year I was driving very slowly on a gravel road with my kid in the back seat. I don’t know if anyone on the East coast remembers how windy that day was, but a MASSIVE live tree fell down and landed where we had been like 2-3 seconds prior. Scared the hell out of me.

Couldn’t decide if the universe was trying to kill me, or if my guardian angel saved me lol.
