ive been shot at by soldiers in greatcoats with long barrelled rifles ; chased through darkened forests by murderous screeching creatures ; flown under my own power inches from the top of sky scraping buildings and plunged free-fall towards sea-dashed rocks but ive never actually taken a direct hit ; been caught , bagged and taken off to be eaten ; ended up skewered on a radio mast ; or hit the jagged shoreline head first , so i cant confirm whether this theory is actually true or not .
