I read a story about a girl riding in the passenger seat of a van when a 10 foot rebar flew threw the winshield. It pierced straight through her body and through the chair, pinning her to it. It was two centimeters from her aorta, one centimeter from her heart, in between the two lungs, and below the plumonary artery. The paramedics drove her to the hospital in the van, since they did not have the means to take her off the seat. At the hospital they removed her, stitched her up, and after the flesh wounds healed she was completely unharmed.
I consider her lucky. I do not (although maybe I should) consider myself lucky for driving everyday without being skewered by a 10 foot rebar. I hope this clarifies my point of view.
