1. When I was between the ages of 3 and 6, I feel down the stairs at my grandparent's house several times. Their staircase ended with a closet in front of it, so there wasn't room to roll after landing at the bottom. It amazed my parents that I never broke any bones. I still won't go down any stairs unless I have hold of the rail and refuse to go down any esculators.
2. When I was 5, me and my sister had a little pool and once when a couple of our cousins were playing with us, I almost drowned. I was sitting on the inside edge of an inner-tube and it flipped over, holding me underwater even though it was only 3 feet deep. I can't remember how I got out but the worst it left me with was a recurring ear-infection.
3. My last year of high school I was dating the meanest guy in school (the one who started calling me Ornery). I didn't have any problems with him trying to beat me up, but one time after we broke up and were still friends, he'd invited me over to his house for the day. He'd been drinking while sitting there (his mom was away on a trip) and he decided to show me his new shotgun. While showing it to me, he pointed it straight at my head (just a couple of inches from my forehead) and said how easy it would be to pull the trigger. I don't think he would have intentionally shot me, but when someone is drunk and tends to be emotional, accidents can happen.
