Actually, he cleared a ditch and hit the ground and spun, sliding to a
stop (if he didn't get sideways, he wouldn't have needed an
allignment).

As for whether he was fortunate, that is something that doesn't matter
in a battle of the anecdotes.  Since you take them to be demonstrative
and representative, you can't dismiss any of them without risking all
of yours being dismissed.  Since you have absolutely no facts to base
your opinion on, you can't have that.
