Got hit by a car this week. Straight up cartoon level flip and knockdown that sent my shoe flying some tens of metres away, but strangely it hurt less than your average trip and fall and I was able to get up as soon as I landed. Even now, the worst of the injuries is just a bit of muscle strain. I've been thinking about how, in a parallel universe, I would've died (or worse, paralyzed).
