Couple of near misses over the years - mostly on bikes. I'd been cleaning the CBR1000 I had at a nearby garage. Rode out and opened up -- rear wheel (well shod) started spinning either through being wet from the wash or on diesel (I didn't analyse it but concentrated on the recovery) ..thing kept upright, another event was riding with a pillion (which always loads up the response) when a plank came off a passing truck, it bounced clean over the bike. I stopped for a fag (I don't smoke or ever have !).
