I can see this kind of thing happening. Sometimes the world is out to distract us from our primary assignment, and circumstances conspire to create a perfect opportunity for an accident.
I'm glad you didn't stay distracted for that extra split second that would have been disastrous. I don't know if this happened when it was extremely windy the other day, but I have found that I need an extra-alert presence when the wind is really blowing. There is something about a heavy wind that puts me off my game, and I think many others as well.
I try to be extra careful. Particularly in parking lots. Right where people should be extra patient, many drive their automobiles and golf carts aggressively and it just seems to me this happens even more when it's really windy.
Be careful out there, everybody. And remember, "they really are out to get you".
