I was out running actually and was hit by a truck mirror that knocked me into a ditch.

I got hit while roller-blading once. They didn't even stop.
-
No but I have on a number of occasions whilst cycling, a similar effect I suppose!

My husband has. He was walking back to his car when some older fellow had a heart attack and stomped on the gas in his big car and hit my husband and drove with him on the hood of his car through the front glass doors of the post office and rammed him into the post office boxes in the wall. He was knocked out and glass was embedded all over his arms and face. It was awful! I saw it happen because I was sitting in the car waiting for him but I didn't see it was HIM, thought he was just helping because he's a massage therapist and knows some medical stuff. I couldn't get to the inside of the building because they were keeping people out until someone came and asked if I was his wife. Very scary day:-(

No, but my friend was. We were walking our bikes across the street (we had the walk signal), and this lady hits my friend. She (and her bike) went up on the car. Luckily she only had a couple of scratches. The lady stopped to see if she was alright, and then drove off. I wish we would've gotten her license number.

yes, lucky for me I seen it coming and reacted by jumping upward which landed me on the hood bouncing off the windshield and back to the ground. broken leg, arm a cracked rib and all the fingers on my left hand when the back tire ran over my hand once I hit the ground.
-
Yes. Standing on the footpath. A speeding car swerved to miss another car and ran up onto footpath sending me 10 feet up in the air and down onto my forehead. He then drove away. The other time I was a passenger in a parked car and got hit by 2 4wd's and they smashed us into 6 other parked cars.

yep, a Mercedes was speeding on my job parking lot, and our parking lot has a blind hill, she slammed the brakes, and slid into me. I had a mercedes symbol welt on my ass for 2 days

Just friends aggrevating me.

No. But while walking home from school (in 1976), my friend was on the sidewalk beside me, very close to the curb, and was hit in the back of the head by the mirror on a school bus passing by. He was knocked forward and down ... he recieved a minor skull fracture to the back of his head, and broke his nose and front teeth and both jaws as he hit the sidewalk with his face.

unfortunately

I've had a VERY close call...but never been hit thankfully.
-
Yes, a police car,
-
Yes more than once. But the one that hurt the most was my fault. My car was stuck in the snow. I put the transmission in reverse then got out to push. To my surprise, the car took off and started to roll backwards. Then when I tried to jump into the drivers seat my feet slipped out from under me and the front wheels of the car ran over both of my legs. Try explaining something that stupid to your insurance company.

Once my brother threw a kayak at me
-
Yes. In a crosswalk with the light. The car was a Mercedes.
-

No - but I ran over my husband's foot. We were arguing and I got in the car to leave to cool off and he kicked the car and I backed up over his foot. Ah....the stupid things we do....
-
No...........but I did get hit by a Mack truck which pissed me off because I could'nt find one of my shoes.
-
No, but as a freshman in high school I had some senior girls who messed with me for no reason all the time. They were much bigger than me so I became a pro at clipping them with my side-view mirror on my geo metro as I drove past them in the parking lot leaving school. It was cool cause after awhile they would just see my car and flinch. :)
-
no
-
Do tricycles count?
-
Yes. When the light said that I could cross a street, a dumbass kept on going and knocked into me. It hit me only a little bit, but I was still really freaked out.
-
Well, no. I was hit by one that was running, though.
