Also, since we're dealing with possibility, we can look from an external perspective using the law of large numbers and determine that these "near misses" are not simply "likely", but are "certain", when dealing with the totality of the human population multiplied by the decisions they make from minute to minute.
It is in that way some are lucky, and others aren't.
Had they not been lucky, they would simply be shifted to the opposite side of the statistic. From the perspective of an external objective observation, there isn't any meaning behind it one way or the other.
I understand that it's fun to think about, but as a wise man once said... "just sayin'".
