I had a drum that was stored on a huge wardrobe and was pretty unstable. One day, as i opened the wardrobe, the drum fell on my head. I laugh about it today because fortunately, the wound was not as severe as i though at first.

So a light rail train is a surface ground public transport system similar to a tram, it moves around on street level and can be quite fast but is usually plastic on the exterior and lighter and slower than a typical train.
So anyways, one time as I am walking down the sidewalk in college my hat blows right off my head, without thinking much of it I sprint off after it hoping to catch it before it ends up in the street.
I manage to catch right before I’m in the actual road, but apparently still right on the tracks for the light rail that had right of way through the intersection.
I am still bent over grabbing my hat as I look over my shoulder to see the train hitting me.
I bounced off the front of that train probably a good 10 feet, skid across the ground for the last bit but immediately jump up slap the hat back on my head and stare at the driver of the light rail just long enough for us both to realize I am still on the tracks. I don’t know what they were ever going to say as I just held my hand down on my hat to stop it blowing away and sprinted as fast as I could away.
I have been hit by nearly every mode of transportation but that one always makes me giggle compared to the trains, buses, cars or boats.
Congratulations on surviving this long - and watch out!
I mean, people literally got hit by vehicles playing Pokemon Go. I love those little bastards, but catching the Snorlax isn’t worth it!
