   A few days ago I was driving home while taking a short cut home through the   
   state forest (dense woodland... with a lot of pine trees everywhere)   
      
   On the loose gravel road the back end of the station wagon started to go as   
   I was coming round a bend and going downhill.  I thought I had it under   
   control with the over steering for so many  metres, but when I went down the   
   side embankment I knew I was in trouble.   That was when everything seemed   
   to go in slow motion, as I went through a barbed wire fence, with trees were   
   brushing past the car as it seemed to plow through the forest.  Out of no   
   where there was the biggest bull you have ever seen filling the windscreen,   
   which I must of hit pretty hard.  Next thing, I had slammed head first into   
   the tree.  Later on,  I looked at the cars battery seeing the effect of it   
   being rammed up and splitting the engine in two.   
      
   I think this bull saved my life.  I've travelled on this road heaps of times   
   before (never again cept in a 4WD) and never seen any cattle on or off the   
   road.  Hitting the bull saved me from a more forceful impact from the tree   
   it was standing in front off, and probably trigged the air bag at the same   
   time.  I have walked away from this accident with just some bruising on my   
   chest and stomach from the seat belt.  I should be dead!   
      
   When the police came, I said I was alright but please do something about the   
   bull, as it was quite upsetting seeing the bull try and raise itself with   
   one of its front legs just dangling.  He couldn't put it down (after   
   emptying so many rounds into) and I found out later they had to call someone   
   from the abattoir.   
      
   I really think this bull laid down it's life for me and that someone   
   definitely was looking out for me that day.   I think I will pray to the God   
   of the Bulls (and Airbags :-), but always remember how valuable the rest of   
   my life will be, when it could have been so easily taken from me the other   
   day.   
      
   Cheers,
