Just getting hit by a car. Wasn't even that bad. Less "oh shit" and more, "I guess this is happening now..." as I proceed to get thrown to the ground.
No broken bones, just went to my regular doctor's office and got it inspected. Had to replace the bike because the shop wasn't sure they could repair the aluminum frame to a safe state after being stressed like that.

I was riding a shove on a tank car for about 15 miles back to the yard around 10PM, and some idiot in a sprinter van limo stopped on the tracks. I bailed off entering the crossing and we only barely missed hitting him because he inched forward at the last second. I was furious and went up to the driver window, pounded on it, and cursed him up and down with a bright headlight pointing right in his face.Near the same crossing(it was by a bunch of college bars) I kicked some idiot walking along the tracks in the back while riding the shove. I yelled and yelled before for him to move before, but he would have got clipped by the platform if I didn't kick him. He took a tumble but was drunk enough he didn't feel much. He gave me a fist bump and thanked me.

While riding my bicycle to work, in bright daylight, in a left turn on a slight hill, a car came speeding dead centre towards me, graybearded driver just drinking schnaps from a hip flask, on the wrong side of the road! Both of us looking at each other wide-eyed, immediatelly swerving to evade, missing each other by half an inch.

the worst time i ever fel tin the navy we were doing a fire exercise, and being all gung-ho i put whatever firesuit "fit" onwe got in there and i couldn't move after kneeling down once. the suit was just too tight. i got into some posture I couldn't get out of and spouted "I CAN'T MOVE!!" and the guys in the space suspended the exercise. I felt really bad because really it was literally just that my pants were too tight to get back up after kneeling. so the red hats stopped the whole thing (at least in that space).but i learned an important lesson myself. only take gear that fits. the ship can burn to the fucking waterline. you won't help it not do that if you can't even move because your gear is too tight. you're useless to the team if you can't move around properly because you tried to put on the first thing available. and even then, it probably won't even work to keep you from burning to death if it's all pressed up from being that tight on you.

If it hadn't been pouring with rain, I'm sure many people would have kissed the ground after getting off.
Flights don't get much worse than that without becoming news stories.

In the air, flying towards a large highway sign at 80kmh, in a parody of a shitty car.

In a 738 that did a slats, no flaps landing. Something felt wrong on approach with the deck angle, and in my head I was starting to get concerned. The next moment it was TOGA power. I am very sure we were seconds from a stall at 3,000 feet. The alternate electric system failed to extend the flaps so it was Vref + 45 kts on landing at PANC. Max manual brakes and full reverse, it still took more than 10k feet to slow and exit the runway.

Buddy later mentioned he hesitated between doing a lap back to the runway or just going straight after take-off, over a house, under a power line, and into a field. Everything else around that airfield was trees.

Biking in dense traffic doing about 30mph, car in front of me gets t-boned by car that ran a red. Prepare to get sandwiched between wreck in front of me and car behind me. T-boner had just enough speed to carry him and t-bonee out of my path, I slip by with a few inches to spare and car behind me clips t-boner's rear end.That was 5 years ago and my ass still gets wet anytime I find myself in traffic.
