    If you almost get into an accident, you have encountered a bad driver.

    If you get into an accident almost every time, you are the bad driver.

          Oh I do know about that, I’ve had a near death experience myself, your body/brain has an uncanny sense that says “you are dangling over the precipice right now.”

          I just mean that until it actually happens, there is no true confirmation, and after, you can’t report back, that’s why it’s called a mystery.

          In fact from the way that person is talking it sounds like they may have had such an experience, and maybe now they’re doubting that it’s real.

    Immortal means you can’t die, or alternatively you can’t die of natural causes. It doesn’t mean you avoid accidents.

      But then there’s quantum immortality which kinda is like that. Your consciousness picks a universe where you don’t die for you to experience. Maybe it even picks an ideal reality, though in a “reality I need” kind of way, not necessarily a “reality I want”.

    Bought a crazy eScooter last year, literally backflipping me on zero start if I don’t set the take off power to below 10%. Have at least one brush with severe injury every time I go for a joyride. Nearly died a couple of times, had a accident that put me on crutches for two weeks last autumn.

    So, what’s your hobby?
