A few winters ago I was in a hurry to get some last minute xmas shopping done. (23rd Dec). I was entering Deerfoot north from 22X when I hit some ice and immediately started to spin into the other lanes. I ended up clipping another car before coming to a stop facing the wrong way. Fortunately only a little damage, no injuries but I've been very careful on entering hiways since then.
There was another incident, on a motorcycle but it wasn't a close call, I got ####ed up.

I had a buddy do this, not so lucky. All the racking and pallets came down on him and he was impaled on the controller (stand up fork) He lived but it took a long time to recover.
