I did hear about Teddy being nearly assassinated and then continuing his speech right then and there. Helped with his image as being this stubborn bull who never backs down and comes in swinging.

looking it up, we haven't had a near assassination since Reagan (how... well, poetic isn't the word I want to use). Probably a bit too recent for history books to record at my time. The other presidents who had near assassinations did eventually become assassinated.
