Counting my near death experiences in no particular order – #3 – My motorcycle and a Metro bus

When I was a teenager, I owned a motorcycle.  Once when I was coming home from crew practice, I had given a friend a ride. We were hit by a Metro Bus.  My friend and I were both unconscious when we were taken to the hospital.  We both lay in the ER for a few hours before I was identified and they were able to contact my parents. It scared my Mum so much that she nearly had an accident because she was speeding to the hospital. My friend was hurt much worse than I and remained in a coma for a month. But ultimately we both recovered. What are the odds that my motorcycle could be struck by a Metro bus and we would not be killed?
