Honestly, every brush with death in my life has been a result of my own actions.

  • Almost picked up a snake when out on a school bushwalk; because I assumed one of the other boys had left a fake one in such an obvious spot to scare the girls. I was left with an outstretched hand a couple of centimeters from where it had been before it fled.
  • Stepped in a funnel web spiders nest/trap that I knew was there.
  • Existed as a teenager who jumped into the car of a teenager who should never have been allowed behind the wheel or under the bonnet. You get the idea.
