I just found out these existed about 3 years ago, but it's saved me from being carried off.

The engine on the right side of the plane.
ETA, possibly the e-brake on my car two weeks ago. The brake pedal felt like popping a large piece of bubble-wrap just before it went to the floor, heading downhill towards a busy intersection. |

Driving a car with excellent side-impact protection saved my life when I was 20.
When you step out of a car that has been bent into a horseshoe, it changes how you think about cars. Never buy a car that you're not willing to be in a major wreck in. |

A wading belt.
Balls and persistence when I was kayaking on the lower Columbia River in mid winter once. Going out where I did that day was dumb. Shot a crapload of ducks though. |

Kawasaki motorcycle, an Arai full.face.helmet, and my Guardian Angel.
Last Tuesday was the 31st anniversary of my driving a motorcycle into a stopped car at 60 miles an hour. My Guardian Angel saved me eight other times when I really should have not survived the event. |
