[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2836446, member: 3230"] I had several of those days between 2018 and 2020. Got bit by a friend's dog in Australia; needed plastic surgery. Two months later I was driving from one customer to another in northern MN. Started to snow. Snow built up. Just south of Orr MN some cheesedick in a minivan comes around the corner out of control (2 lane highway, one lane in each direction). I had a split second to react - kind of did the same as you - hit his right front corner. Last thing I remember is hearing the "crunching" noise and next was someone banging on my window. All bags were deployed and dashboard was shattered. Brand new rental car - totaled. Two years later I was riding my new carbon fiber bicycle (push bike for your New Zealanders) downhill on a road closed to vehicular traffic (San Juan road in South Mountain Park in Phoenix) and hit a coyote. Once again, unconscious and didn't even remember what happened until someone in the hospital mentioned "coyote" and it all replayed back in my brain - at least until the sensation of hitting the coyote. Never remember hitting the road. Had seven broken ribs, a smashed clavicle, and broke my scapula in two places. Ruined elk and deer hunts that year. Had to have surgery - after operation photo shows damage; xray you can see every bone on one side is broken. [/QUOTE]
