What's done is done i know, but sometimes reflect on the near misses that makes me cringe a little, scars and sceletal injuries.
Some incidents i could've lost limbs, eyes, hearing, stabbed or been killed.
Is it very common for people of my age, late 50s?

I'd say it's common to look back. I guess what you look back on varies. I'm obviously not in my 50s but I do find myself looking back over certain incidents in my life and thinking I'd never do that now. |

When I think back to some of the shit I've gotten up to over the years, the near misses I've had, yeah I think I'm lucky to still be here but I had fun doing a lot of them and they have moulded me into the man I am today.
I'll probably continue to do a lot of foolish things here and there but if I'm not hurting anyone else and they make me smile, who else cares?!
Enjoy your life....you dont get another one! |

In some ways yes *but* I've also learned a lot from these things and I think have improved myself so I think regret might be useful in that way.

After spending 16 nights in hospital as a result of an RTA, my wife was told that if I had been in an ordinary car, rather then a 4x4, I probably wouldn't be coming home.
And, I very much regret the way I treated a lady here, many years ago now, a real regret of my life. |

On a firing range, if not for a corporal swift action I would’ve had my head blown off. No open casket for me  Another Squaddie rather keep his rifle pointing down the range after a live firing exercise, accidentally pointed it next to my head. 
There’s been periods of my life when I wished his trigger finger had been used, very rarely, but knowing I’d have had (as far as I’m aware) a very quick and painless death seemed to be something I’d welcome at really painful times in my life.
However now I’m in a better place with three children who wouldn’t be here if that had happened, also helps me realise no matter what you go through, eventually it’ll pass. |

I'm fine thanks, a little reduction on the reach on one shoulder, but that's all. |

I can relate to this.
Aged 19, given opium to smoke in a whore house in Rangoon. Completely freaked out, ran away and woke up in a bush with thousands of ant bites.
Aged 19, shot at by security guards in the port of Maputo when leaving a party.
Aged 21, robbed at gunpoint in Durban South Africa
Aged 22, caught up in revolutionary protests in New Caledonia - gunfire; Molotov cocktails and soldiers acting like cunts.
Aged 24, mugged at knifepoint in Mombasa.
Aged 26, too much LSD in Oslo
Aged 27, alcoholic poisoning in Spain
Aged 27-50 - grew up and behaved a bit more rationally.
Aged 52 - had a stroke (determined to be a hole in the heart and was fixed)
