Yes. I'm a prime/classic example of that. And have been most conscious of it since I have no idea how dodged a point blank round center mass to my face going on 40 years ago.
Mental image of that imminent is still clear as a bell in my mind, can call it up at will, it's served me well. Though not so much as some some other folk.....past that episode I've had, "Oh, what the hell I shoulda been dead long ago anyway", no fear when it all goes down.
