Indeed. Lots of folks laugh like demented hyienas after narrowly
escaping death or maiming. It is a form of stress reduction the mind
resorts too. Certainly far better than fainting or doing the chicken
dance.

It was a damn strange feeling spinning in a circle going 75MPH.
Happened so quick there was nothing to do but hold on and hope we'd be
ok. I see those signs "Watch for Ice on Bridge" and know what they
mean now.

One Feb. morning, on an interchange between two freeways, I looked in
the rear view mirror to see a pickup truck crossing three traffic
lanes and bouncing off the railing multiple times. I gradually eased
off on the gas and managed to keep within my lane markings. From then
on I was a much slower driver.
