Not driving related, but I was definitely lucky. As a young guy after the Army, I was working as a crane helper at a steel company helping the operator manage 60 ft. long bundles of reinforcing steel. One time when unloading an incoming truck of stock & putting the bundles into 12 ft. deep bins, I noticed a piece of tie wire sticking out toward the end of one of the bundles we were lowering into a bin. The operator had stopped & was talking to somebody, so I got down there & for some reason tried to remove the wire. The bundles were wrapped in three places with quarter round, which we hooked onto to move the bundles with the strong back. Anyway, the piece of wire wouldn't come out so I got out of the bin. As soon as I did, the quarter round on that end of the bundle gave way and it fell into the bin. Never again did I get into a bin under a bundle of steel & should have figured that out anyway.
