I think that I have had four or five strikes in 36,000 hours. I may in fact be a pussy after having been driven within 2 nm of an active tornado as a youth. Didn't much care for the bruises from the shoulder harness nor the yips, groans and screams heard over the noise of the T-56’s . My last strike was suffered in the hold at BETTY near Hong Kong a few years ago. About 7nm from the nearest wx rdr return. Right on the left windscreen wiper. Woke me from a sound slumber. That 330 took three days to repair and many beers to debrief. Big fan of aluminium, avoidance, and enhanced debriefing sessions.
