I was almost decapitated...!
I was probably about 13. We boarded the "high speed train"- at that age, it seemed like boarding a rocket.

I cant remember where we were going, but it did take a couple of hours to get there.

The train was one of those old fashioned one's that was still around in the 90's the type here the windows on the carrage doors slid vertically down about 1/2 way.

Well, the 13 year old yours truely, had his head sticking out of one of these door windows turning against the wind so my glasses didnt fly off, like a dog in a car my head was sticking out, tongue was rolling around. I felt like the fastest kid in the world.

Well, I turned my head just in time to see another high speed train hurtling along on the other direction and managed to somehow pull my head in just before I felt the blast of air caused by the two trains meeting.

I was pretty quiet the rest of that trip.

Me too
I did exactly the same thing... as a grown up on a packed train to London.

After pulling my head back in at the last moment I spent the rest of the journey in contemplative silence/terror.
