For each life you get a fixed number of lucky escapes.
You never know
how many you've been allocated, or even how many you have left. Only
time you find out is when you screw up really badly and just happen to
find out that the "lucky escapes remaining" counter was at zero...
If this means what I think it means, how are you in a state where you can
realise that your 'lucky escape counter' as got to zero?
