What's the closest you ever came to dying?

When I was 10, running from a neighbor's house back home during a really bad thunderstorm. Lightning struck about 10 feet away from me. Something made me jump in the air at the time (call it a guardian angel, etc) Might have saved me from getting electrocuted. Yeah, I might have survived on the ground too, had sneakers on, but that was as close a call as I've gotten. I tell everyone that computers behave around me because I have an electrical charge from the incident. (I work in IT and people are baffled that their problems go away just by me being present ;) 

Although I have not been struck or near lightning afaik, I have the same gift. I do IT as well and have the same effect - things typically just work when I come by. Always baffles people.

Maybe a technology mitichlorian count? =p
