A few nasty back country and on-piste skiing accidents nearly killed myself from back country ski accident with hypothermia and a dead ankle, nearly killed my ex and myself climbing ice in Sierra, I let loose a boulder that hit my ex below me tied-in with me leading. Bicycle accidents all "operator error",
A motorbike accident shortly after I got back on after 25 years, ironically I had David Hough's book in luggage just picked up that day -this was a classic "on coming traffic left turning" and me T-boning. I saw myself somersaulting and my 600lb GS also somersaulting right behind me in the air.
More of issue with me is that I dont forget any of close encounters and I get more paranoid defensive, I get disturbed when my personal safety space being violated.
I dont seem to get back into the same saddle after a few miles ever. I need to be driving a tank!
