Doing OT wheelbarrowing a chip spill from the upper mezzanine at a paper mill, after opening the door stepped backwards into an elevator .....that wasn’t there! Seems the door safety lock wasn’t functioning. When I stepped back and my foot touched “nothing” .....I rather quickly released the wheelbarrow handles, and grabbed the elevator door frame. Once safe I looked down, about 40 or 50 feet below was the top of the elevator!

Then there was the Dodge truck I T-boned at about 50 mph on a 1973 Honda XL 250.....mostly walked away from that one!

There’s a few more....those are probably the “closest” close calls! memtb
