I remember how my fingers got between car door as father slammed door shut, it was Renault 4, I remember how I was crying but as that car had so much space between door and frame and as weather strips were quite thick, it did not even hurt a bit.

Of course that might been 2nd one as I do remember another case where moose run on road, slipped down on ice road and car spinned so that it neatly stopped side to side with moose that was not able to get up because of too slippery road, there was just inch or two between the moose and the car. Eventually moose managed to get up and nobody was harmed, but that was still at the time when wildlife was natural thing, today it would of been shot by police and we all would need to go trough psychological helping to meet such horrible trauma.

Every year I meet few mooses on roads, still have managed to avoid them, but as I have encountered them already at age of 3-4 years old I seem to consider them rather natural things that jump on road.
