Nearly the same thing happened to me. Except instead of the car missing me my brain told mepehaps from tornado saftey training in school? If I dropped into the narrow V shaped drainage ditch so the car would pass over me I would live. It did and I did. I can still remember the tire passing inches over my face in slow motion as the car flew into the trees.

I was fine. The driver was some kid that stole their parents car. The kid seemed uninjured. The parents were I guess chasing them in another car as they arrived only a few seconds after the wreck.

this happened to me, I simply leaped over the oncoming vehicle, landing on my feet.

I guess you are mocking my near death experience? You must be a wonderful person.

Allow me to even further your disbelief. Nearly the same thing happened to me again years later. Except the second time was a motorcycle. I narrowly sidestepped a motorcycle on a mountain road that had taken the turn too fast while I was looking over a marked "scenic viewpoint". The driver in this case though I do not know if they lived. As they did go over the side of the ravine into very rough rocks and ground. They were alive when Ambulance took them away though.

Although I think you're right that they're mocking the OP, something similar saved my friend from serious injury/death.

He saw a car barreling towards him as he was walking on the street, instinctually jumped up, rolled over the windshield and roof and landed safely, albeit not on his feet.
