DD>>> Considering that I haven't had an accident where I ran into

PE>> No, it means you were lucky.  

DD> Bullshit!  It means I'm usually careful.

You've just never been presented with a blackhawk helicopter falling out of
the sky (etc).

DD>>> (looking somewhere other than where I was going).  Both 
DD>>> situations were very low speed (one was about 5kph, the 
DD>>> other about 20kph).

PE>> And how many of those would have been avoided had you been

DD> Probably neither, I didn't hit the brakes until after impact.

What, going at 1/20 of the speed, you wouldn't have gotten your attention
back?  Anyhow, were we talking about fatalities?  None of those low-speed
crashes would have been fatalities.  BFN.  Paul.
