True Tom, but not unscathed.
I have had a few spectacular mocy accidents with many broken bones and smashed both ankles to the degree i had to give up footie and rugger in my early 30s, will probably feel the effects as i get older too but as you say we're still here.
There was a time in my late teens and early twenty's when a slew of mates tragically died and a number of them through vehicular accidents - got to the point you thought when me.
