As salaamu 'alaikym, my friend.
Mash'Allah, yes.
I was once a passenger in a car when we were struck at a crossing by a flatbed truck carrying two tons of bricks.
We saw the truck coming (he was going in excess of 80 miles per hour according to the state trooper's report) realized that we were about to be in an accident, turned to look at one another, then looked the other way so as to not see the impact.
The next thing we all new, we were spinning in the car as the truck passed us.
After the car came to a stand still, we all came out safe and sound.
Some friends were in the car behind us and had witnessed the whole event. While we were very delighted to be alive, they were nervous wrecks as they, too thought we would be killed.
The truck flipped over and landed upside down in a nearby field. Some shouted that the driver was still inside (he had actually been thrown clear of the wreck) so I climbed through the cab to look for him while disel was leaking everywhere and a loose battery cable was making sparks (I figured that if I had not died in the accidnet that I was not going to die then either, so I looked for the man).
The driver of the truck had driven all the way from his outset in Mexico to up near Corpus Christi, Tx and was exhausted. He had decided that if he drank tequilla he would stay awake but, it didn't work any too well. Being drunk did seem to help him though as he suffered only superficial sprains and some light bruises.
Insha'Allah, Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala, wanted me to live long enough to mend my wild ways (at the time I was in my early twenties and a bit of a wild child) and to convert. Now, some thirty some odd years later, it seems I have. Alhumdulillah!
Ma'a salaam.

Yep... I once went on the scariest roller coaster ever! :D LOL... last year at six flags... I don't remember its name... but oi jeez... I'm NEVER EVER going to ride that thing again...
P.S.... its the tallest and fastest roller coaster ever built!
EDIT:
Just remembered this... I had 2 incidents while driving...
1.The steering wheels got locked while I was in the middle of a turn (360 degrees) on a bridge going into the highway...
I was really really close to falling off the bridge!
2.My own stupidity was about to cause a truck to run over my car! That is while I was driving in a highway which is best known as the highway of death!
I was late for my class... n so I thought I'd pass by the truck from its right side (which is kinda illegal!)... n the truck was in the last lane... so that meant driving in the emergency lane... but since I was approaching a bridge... the emergency lane ended with a block... n I was going well over 180 km/h...
BUT I didn't know that there's a block... I suddenly saw it... n the truck was on my side so I couldn't change lanes... so I just hit the breaks...
And I can swear that I changed lanes while I was milliseconds away from hitting the block!

This past 4th of July....we were on St.Pete Beach when the fireworks grand finale exploded on the ground only a few hundred feet away. We were all fine but surely shook up at the time. I still have anxiety attacks during thunderstorms. The loud booming makes me shake all over again.

Some years ago, late in December, a friend of mine and I were in Amsterdam and my friend thought that instead of taking the train to Prague we'd rent a car and drive across Germany. Driving the autobahn in an icestorm was exactly that situation!

Yes, from an end-over-end car crash, going down for the third time in a pond (nearly drowned), being attacked by snakes, and the worst, being in a bad neighborhood late at night and facing a bunch of toughs.`

Yes, and I would rather not tell the tale. I've only told ONE person about it.
